区块链技术的专利保护研究

Patent Protection Research on Blockchain Technology

摘要: 区块链技术开发的新模式，引发了对于区块链知识产权保护的争论，当前多数学者认为通过专利保护区块链衍生技术是最好的方式，但目前我国专利制度在区块链技术保护方面，明显存在着效率低下、申请周期过长、阻碍新技术进步等缺点。本文将对各种知识产权保护方法进行界定，探讨利用专利保护区块链衍生技术的合理性，鉴于当前区块链属于前沿技术，本文将对我国《专利法》以及其他法律法规进行适格性分析，通过借鉴美国的主题资格测试法以及开源许可证制度，提出延长我国专利法的保护期以及重置专利审查制度，为区块链保护提出建议。

Abstract: The new model of blockchain technology development has triggered a debate on the protection of blockchain intellectual property rights. Currently, most scholars believe that blockchain derived technology through patent protection areas is the best way, but at present, China’s patent system has obvious shortcomings in the protection of blockchain technology, such as low efficiency, too long application cycle, and hindering the progress of new technologies. This paper will define various intellectual property protection methods and explore the rationality of using patents to protect blockchain-derived technologies. In view of the current cutting-edge technology of blockchain, this paper will analyze the eligibility of China’s Patent Law and other laws and regulations, and draw on the subject qualification test law of the United States and the open source license system. Proposed to extend the protection period of China’s patent law and reset the patent examination system, and put forward suggestions for blockchain protection.
