美国专利商标局:推出 SPARK 试点项目,夯实美国标准制定领域主导地位

6月2日,美国专利商标局发布专利预警,宣布:为夯实美国标准制定领域主导地位,标准必要专利工作组推出 SPARK 试点项目。

SPARK 全称:标准参与与贡献激励项目(Standards Participation and Representation Kudos),保留英文项目代号 SPARK。

具体正文内容翻译如下:

美国专利商标局(USPTO)标准必要专利工作组(SEPS 工作组)的核心工作目标为:完善专利权人救济路径、对接各利害关系方、提升制度透明度,推动市场主体实质性参与标准制定。围绕前述目标,工作组现正式面向美国境内中小企业、高等院校及非营利机构,推出标准参与与贡献激励(SPARK)试点项目。

依据该试点规则:注册地在美国的法人申请人若实质性参与自愿共识制标准制定组织(SDO)的标准创制工作并满足项目准入条件,其部分专利申请案件、向专利审判与上诉委员会(PTAB)提起的单方复审上诉案件可获得审查加急优待;享受加急的专利申请或上诉案件,无需与申请人参与的标准制定工作具备技术关联。

标准是现代各类技术的底层支撑。从通信、车载系统到人工智能领域,自愿性技术标准能够实现产品互联互通、开拓产业市场、驱动技术创新。大量标准中纳入专利技术,该类技术凝聚美国发明人高额研发投入、智力成果与研发风险;美国在标准制定层面的话语权,关乎本国科技创新、产业竞争力与[敏感词]安全。中小企业、高校及非营利机构可为标准研制输出关键专业技术与创新思路,但受制于资金资源短板,多数美国中小主体难以深度参与决定市场准入、重塑行业竞争格局的标准制定组织(SDO)工作。SPARK 项目通过为在美国注册、且对标准制定组织开展技术攻关或实质性参与标准活动的法人申请人提供专利申请加急、PTAB 单方上诉加急通道,纾解前述资源受限难题。

本项目相关公告现已于《联邦公报》阅览厅公示,并将于2026 年 6 月 3 日正式刊载于《联邦公报》,同步上架 USPTO 专利公告专栏;项目细则可查阅美国专利商标局 SPARK 专题网页。
