专利制度在西方国家已实行多年。专利是指创造发明者在一定的时间内受法律保护的独自利益。非经专利权人同意,其他人不准享受这种权利,否则就是侵权。因此,专利就是受法律保护的技术成果。 The patent system has been in practice in western countries for many years. Patent refers to the sole interest of the inventor to be protected by law within a certain period of time. Without the patentee’s consent, others are not allowed to enjoy this right, otherwise it is infringement. Therefore, the patent is the legal protection of the technological achievements.
