Paris convention for the protection of industrial property

保护工业产权巴黎公约（中英对照）       

Article 1 Establishment of the Union; Scope of Industrial Property

(1) The countries to which this Convention applies constitute a Union for the protection of industrial property.

(2) The protection of industrial property has as its object patents, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks, service marks, trade names, indications of source or appellations of origin, and the repression of unfair competition.

 　　第一条　〔同盟的建立；工业产权的范围〕

　　（一）参加本公约的国家组成保护工业产权同盟。

　　（二）工业产权的保护对象是专利、实用新型、工业外观设计、商标、服务商标、商号、产地标记或原产地名称以及制止不正当竞争。

(3) Industrial property shall be understood in the broadest sense and shall apply not only to industry and commerce proper, but likewise to agricultural and extractive industries and to all manufactured or natural products, for example, wines, grain, tobacco leaf, fruit, cattle, minerals, mineral waters, beer, flowers, and flour.

(4) Patents shall include the various kinds of industrial patents recognized by the laws of the countries of the Union, such as patents of importation, patents of improvement, patents and certificates of addition, etc.

　　（三）工业产权应做最广义的理解，不仅适用于工商业本身，而且也应同样适用于农业和采掘工业以及一切制成品或天然产品，例如酒类、谷物、烟叶、水果、牲畜、矿产品、矿泉水、啤酒、花卉和面粉等。

　　（四）专利应包括本同盟成员国法律上承认的各种工业专利，如进口专利、改进专利、增补专利和补充证书等。

Article 2 National Treatment for Nationals of Countries of the Union

(1) Nationals of any country of the Union shall, as regards the protection of industrial property, enjoy in all the other countries of the Union the advantages that their respective laws now grant, or may hereafter grant, to nationals; all without prejudice to the rights specially provided for by this Convention. Consequently, they shall have the same protection as the latter, and the same legal remedy against any infringement of their rights, provided that the conditions and formalities imposed upon nationals are complied with.

 　　第二条　〔给予本同盟成员国国民的国民待遇〕

　　（一）本同盟任何成员国的国民，在保护工业产权方面，应在本同盟其他成员国内享有各该国法律现在或今后给予各该国国民的各种利益；本公约所特别规定的权利不得受到任何侵害。从而，他们只要遵守各该国国民应遵守的条件和手续，即应受到与各该国国民同样的保护，并在他们的权利遭到任何侵害时，同样依法律纠正。

(2) However, no requirement as to domicile or establishment in the country where protection is claimed may be imposed upon nationals of countries of the Union for the enjoyment of any industrial property rights.

　　（二）但是，并不要求本同盟成员国国民在请求保护其产权的国家中设有住所或营业所才能享有工业产权的权利。

(3) The provisions of the laws of each of the countries of the Union relating to judicial and administrative procedure and to jurisdiction, and to the designation of an address for service or the appointment of an agent, which may be required by the laws on industrial property are expressly reserved.

　　（三）本同盟各成员国关于司法和行政程序、管辖权以及选定送达地址或指定代理人的法律规定等，凡关于工业产权的法律所要求的，都可明确地予以保留。

Article 3 Same Treatment for Certain Categories of Persons as for Nationals of Countries of the Union

 Nationals of countries outside the Union who are domiciled or who have real and effective industrial or commercial establishments in the territory of one of the countries of the Union shall be treated in the same manner as nationals of the countries of the Union.

 　　第三条　〔某类人享有本同盟成员国国民同样的待遇〕

　　非本同盟成员国的国民，在本同盟一个成员国的领土内有住所或有真实、有效的工商企业的，都应享有与本同盟成员国国民同样的待遇。

Article 4 A to I. Patents, Utility Models, Industrial Designs,

Marks, Inventors’ Certificates: Right of Priority

G. Patents: Division of the Application

 A.

(1) Any person who has duly filed an application for a patent, or for the registration of a utility model, or of an industrial design, or of a trademark, in one of the countries of the Union, or his successor in title, shall enjoy, for the purpose of filing in the other countries, a right of priority during the periods hereinafter fixed.

　　第四条　〔（一）至（九）专利、实用新型、工业品外观设计、商标、发明人证书：优先权。（七）专利：申请的划分〕

　　（一）（1）已在本同盟一个成员国内正式提出申请专利、实用新型、工业品外观设计或商标注册的人，或其权利合法继承人，在下列规定的期限内享有在本同盟其他成员国内提出申请的优先权。

(2) Any filing that is equivalent to a regular national filing under the domestic legislation of any country of the Union or under bilateral or multilateral treaties concluded between countries of the Union shall be recognized as giving rise to the right of priority.

(3) By a regular national filing is meant any filing that is adequate to establish the date on which the application was filed in the country concerned, whatever may be the subsequent fate of the application.

　　（2）凡依照本同盟任何成员国国内法或本同盟成员国之间签订的双边或多边条约相当于正常国内申请的一切申请，都认为产生优先权。

　　（3）正常国内申请，指能够确定在该国家中提交申请日期的一切申请，而不问该申请的结局如何。

B.

Consequently, any subsequent filing in any of the other countries of the Union before the expiration of the periods referred to above shall not be invalidated by reason of any acts accomplished in the interval, in particular, another filing, the publication or exploitation of the invention, the putting on sale of copies of the design, or the use of the mark, and such acts cannot give rise to any third–party right or any right of personal possession. Rights acquired by third parties before the date of the first application that serves as the basis for the right of priority are reserved in accordance with the domestic legislation of each country of the Union

　　（二）因此，在上述期限届满前，任何后来在本同盟其他成员国内提出的申请，都不因在此期间他人所作的任何行为，特别是另一项申请、发明的公布或利用、出售设计复制品或使用商标而失效；而且此类行为不能形成任何第三者的权利或任何个人占有的权利。第三者在作为优先权根据的初次申请日期以前所取得的权利，应按照本同盟各成员国的国内立法加以保留。

C.

(1) The periods of priority referred to above shall be twelve months for patents and utility models, and six months for industrial designs and trademarks.

(2) These periods shall start from the date of filing of the first application; the day of filing shall not be included in the period.

(3) If the last day of the period is an official holiday, or a day when the Office is not open for the filing of applications in the country where protection is claimed, the period shall be extended until the first following working day.

　　（三）（1）上述优先权的期限，对于专利和实用新型为十二个月，对于工业品外观设计和商标为六个月。

　　（2）这种期限应自第一次提出申请之日起算，提出申请的当天不计入期限之内。

　　（3）如果期限的最后一天是其提出保护请求的国家的法定假日或专利局当天不办理申请，则该期限应顺延至其后的第一个工作日。

(4) A subsequent application concerning the same subject as a previous first application within the meaning of paragraph (2), above, filed in the same country of the Union shall be considered as the first application, of which the filing date shall be the starting point of the period of priority, if, at the time of filing the subsequent application, the said previous application has been withdrawn, abandoned, or refused, without having been laid open to public inspection and without leaving any rights outstanding, and if it has not yet served as a basis for claiming a right of priority. The previous application may not thereafter serve as a basis for claiming a right of priority.

　　（4）如果后来提出申请时，在先的申请已被撤回、放弃或驳回，而没有提供公众审阅，也没有遗留任何未定的权利，并且如果在先的申请尚未成为请求优先权的根据，则应按照本款第（2）项规定在本同盟同一个国家内就在先的申请的同样主题所提出的后来申请应认为是第一次申请，其申请日应为优先权期限的开始日。此后，在先的申请就不得作为请求优先权的根据。

D.

(1) Any person desiring to take advantage of the priority of a previous filing shall be required to make a declaration indicating the date of such filing and the country in which it was made. Each country shall determine the latest date on which such declaration must be made.

(2) These particulars shall be mentioned in the publications issued by the competent authority, and in particular in the patents and the specifications relating thereto.

　　（四）（1）凡因前已提过申请要求承认优先权者，须要作出声明，指出提出该申请的日期和所在的国家。每一个国家应确定必须作出该项声明的最后日期。

　　（2）这些事项应在主管机关的出版物中，特别是在有关的专利证书和专利说明书中载明。

(3) The countries of the Union may require any person making a declaration of priority to produce a copy of the application (description, drawings, etc.) previously filed. The copy, certified as correct by the authority which received such application, shall not require any authentication, and may in any case be filed, without fee, at any time within three months of the filing of the subsequent application. They may require it to be accompanied by a certificate from the same authority showing the date of filing, and by a translation.

　　（3）本同盟成员国可要求任何声明具有优先权的人提出在先的申请书（说明书和附图）的副本。该副本经原受理申请机关证实无误后，不需要任何其他证明，并且可以在后来的申请提出后三个月内随时免费进行备案。本同盟成员国可要求该副本附有原受理申请机关出具的证明申请日期的证明书和译本。

 (4) No other formalities may be required for the declaration of priority at the time of filing the application. Each country of the Union shall determine the consequences of failure to comply with the formalities prescribed by this Article, but such consequences shall in no case go beyond the loss of the right of priority.

(5) Subsequently, further proof may be required.

Any person who avails himself of the priority of a previous application shall be required to specify the number of that application; this number shall be published as provided for by paragraph (2), above.

　　（4）在提出申请时，不得要求对声明具有优先权再办理其他手续。本同盟每一成员国应确定对不遵守本条规定手续者采取相应措施，但这种措施应不超过剥夺优先权为限。

　　（5）因而，应要求提供进一步证明。

　　凡利用在先的申请而获得优先权者，应写明该申请书号码，此号码应按上述第（2）项的规定加以公布。

E.

(1) Where an industrial design is filed in a country by virtue of a right of priority based on the filing of a utility model, the period of priority shall be the same as that fixed for industrial designs.

(2) Furthermore, it is permissible to file a utility model in a country by virtue of a right of priority based on the filing of a patent application, and vice versa.

　　（五）（1）如根据实用新型申请注册取得优先权而在一个国家申请工业品外观设计时，其优先权期限应与外观设计规定的优先权期限一致。

　　（2）此外，还准许在一国中根据专利申请的优先权提出实用新型的申请，反之亦然。

F.

No country of the Union may refuse a priority or a patent application on the ground that the applicant claims multiple priorities, even if they originate in different countries, or on the ground that an application claiming one or more priorities contains one or more elements that were not included in the application or applications whose priority is claimed, provided that, in both cases, there is unity of invention within the meaning of the law of the country.

With respect to the elements not included in the application or applications whose priority is claimed, the filing of the subsequent application shall give rise to a right of priority under ordinary conditions.

　　（六）本同盟任何成员国均不得由于申请人请求多项优先权（即使是优先权产生于不同国家之中），或者由于请求一项或多项优先权的申请中，包含有已要求优先权的申请里所未包括的一个或几个因素，而拒绝赋予优先权或驳回专利申请，只要在上述两种情况下都存在该国法律所要求的发明单一性即可。

　　对已要求优先权的申请中所未包括的因素，在通常条件下，后来的申请应即发生优先权。

G.

(1) If the examination reveals that an application for a patent contains more than one invention, the applicant may divide the application into a certain number of divisional applications and preserve as the date of each the date of the initial application and the benefit of the right of priority, if any.

(2) The applicant may also, on his own initiative, divide a patent application and preserve as the date of each divisional application the date of the initial application and the benefit of the right of priority, if any. Each country of the Union shall have the right to determine the conditions under which such division shall be authorized.

　　（七）（1）如在审查中发现一项专利申请中包含一个以上的发明，则申请人可将该申请分案申请，原申请日期仍视为各分案申请的日期，如原申请具有优先权者则仍保有优先权利益。

　　（2）申请人也可主动将一项专利分案申请保持最初申请的日期作为各该分案申请的日期，如原申请具有优先权者仍保有优先权利益。本同盟各成员国有权决定批准这种分案申请的条件。

H.

Priority may not be refused on the ground that certain elements of the invention for which priority is claimed do not appear among the claims formulated in the application in the country of origin, provided that the application documents as a whole specifically disclose such elements.

　　（八）不得因请求优先权的发明中有某些因素未包含在向发明起源国所提出的申请内为理由，而拒绝赋予优先权，只要在申请文件的总体中明确地表达了这些因素即可。

I.

(1) Applications for inventors’ certificates filed in a country in which applicants have the right to apply at their own option either for a patent or for an inventor’s certificate shall give rise to the right of priority provided for by this Article, under the same conditions and with the same effects as applications for patents.

(2) In a country in which applicants have the right to apply at their own option either for a patent or for an inventor’s certificate, an applicant for an inventor’s certificate shall, in accordance with the provisions of this Article relating to patent applications, enjoy a right of priority based on an application for a patent, a utility model, or an inventor’s certificate.

 　　（九）（1）在申请人有权自行选择申请专利或申请发明人证书的国家里，申请发明人证书应发生本条规定的优先权，其条件与效力和申请专利一样。

　　（2）在申请人有权自行选择申请专利或发明人证书的国家里，发明人证书的申请人应按照本条关于申请专利的规定，享有以申请专利、实用新型或发明人证书为基础的优先权。
