Main Issues

In a case where English pharmaceutical corporation Gap, which is a patentee of the patent invention "9-Sim No. Y", had 458 days required to obtain marketing approval under the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act of the drug "Atoxin 10 milligrams" for embodying the patent invention, and the Korean Intellectual Property Office decided to reject the application for extension on the ground that the above drug does not constitute "new drug" under Article 2 subparagraph 8 of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and thus it cannot be deemed that the drug was an effective substance and was first granted marketing approval, the case holding that the rejection of the application for extension is unlawful on the ground that the above drug does not constitute "new drug" under the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act.

Summary of Judgment

In a case where English pharmaceutical company Gap, which is a patentee of the patent invention "9-Sim YOT", refused to grant marketing approval pursuant to the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act (amended by Act No. 11985, Jul. 30, 2013; hereinafter the same) for the purpose of embodying the patent invention, 458 days required to obtain marketing approval, and the patent term extension application was filed by the Korean Intellectual Property Office on the ground that the said drug does not constitute "new drug" under subparagraph 8 of Article 2 of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and thus, it cannot be deemed that the first product was approved as an effective substance for which marketing approval was obtained for the first time, the case holding that the above patent law (amended by Act No. 12753, Jun. 11, 2014; hereinafter the same shall apply) did not require a new effect different from the literal effect of Article 7 subparag. 1 of the Enforcement Decree of the Patent Act, and thus, it should be deemed to be unlawful for the purpose and purpose of delegation of the previous pharmaceutical substance license to practice.

1) On July 15, 2013, the Plaintiff filed an application for registration of extension of the term of a patent right with Claim Nos. 1, 3, and 10 (hereinafter “patent subject to extension”) among the instant patent inventions as “claim subject to extension” on the ground that 458 days for the instant marketing approval were required (the filing number omitted; hereinafter “instant extension application”).

2) On November 12, 2013, the Korean Intellectual Property Office examiner notified the instant extension application on the ground that “The instant patent invention does not constitute a drug invention subject to an application for registration of extension, and the instant patent invention does not constitute an invention subject to an application for registration of extension, on the grounds that “as the instant patent application had already been permitted with respect to the said product and its principal ingredients (mainly 1) the same permission as the said product and its principal ingredients (mainly 1) prior to the instant patent application, the instant patent invention cannot be seen as a drug for which the first marketing approval was granted with new materials as its effective ingredients. Moreover, the period of application for extension exceeds the period during which the instant patent invention could not be implemented.”

Note 1)

3) Meanwhile, on April 14, 2014, the Plaintiff submitted an amendment to correct the application period for registration of extension on April 14, 2014 as 457 days, and submitted a written opinion to the effect that “The elderly in Altititi, an effective ingredient of the instant medicine, is a new substance, and the chemical structure of the active part indicating the efficacy is a new substance compared with the elderly in Altititi, which must be recognized as

4) On August 18, 2014, the Korean Intellectual Property Office examiner decided to reject the instant drug on the ground that “the instant drug does not fall under “new medicine” under Article 2 subparag. 8 of the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, and is not subject to the application for registration of extension, and the grounds for rejection under the notification of submission of opinions have not been resolved.”

D. Details of the instant trial decision

[Reasons for Recognition] Facts without dispute, Gap evidence Nos. 1 through 4, 6, Eul evidence Nos. 1, 2, and 13, the purport of the whole pleadings

2. The parties' assertion

A. Summary of the plaintiff's assertion

For the following reasons, the instant trial decision that maintained the rejection ruling rejecting the instant extension application as it is shall be revoked as it is unlawful.

1) The purport of the amendment of the Enforcement Decree of the instant case is to separately regulate an application for registration of extension by excluding the extension of the term of a patent based on a new, distinctive medicine medicine where active and safety are not verified by the existing permission, or the subject of extension of the term of a patent is not limited to an invention “new medicine” under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, not to determine according to the definition of “new medicine” under Article 2 subparag. 8 of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, but to determine whether a medicine, which serves as the basis for application for registration of the term of a patent, contains “new substance” as an effective substance, by excluding the extension of the term of a patent based on “a subsequent permission that alters the use or type while including the active substance, or changes only the subject of treatment,” in the event that safety is already confirmed by the existing permission.

2) However, Alriti Seniors, the basis of which is the extension application of this case, are the active ingredients of the instant medicine, and the chemical structure is different compared to the existing active ingredients of the instant medicine, and there is a difference between the types of accommodation combined due to such structural differences, and clinical medicine effect is also different. Furthermore, the instant medicine, separate from the clinical trials of the previously permitted products, was granted 14 clinical tests, and obtained the instant item license under the condition that the instant medicine was equipped with safety and effectiveness data necessary for permission.

3) Therefore, it is clear that the elderly Altity constitutes a new substance (new substance) with the chemical structure of the active part indicating the efficacy, as stipulated in the instant provision of the Enforcement Decree.

B. Summary of the defendant's assertion

For the following reasons, the extension of the instant application must be refused.

1) Since the extension of the term of existence system is a system derived from the United States, the pharmaceutical product subject to application for registration of extension shall be deemed to be a drug that obtained marketing approval as “new drug” like the U.S. Patent Act.

2) The reason why the instant provision was amended is to clarify the legal basis for limiting the invention subject to application for registration of extension of term extension as above, and to exclude the patented invention relating to “pharmaceuticals” which is partially exempt from submission of data for safety and effectiveness review due to the confirmation of activation and safety by existing permission from the scope of extension of term extension.

3) The instant medicine is “data submission medicine” and was exempted from the submission of some permission data due to the existence of the existing permission for medicines for the elderly, and also shows the common nature and efficacy that all the elderly in Alti and Leti are combined into the RARs (5) a week, and the common nature and efficacy of the instant medicine are expressed, and three different characters of the instant medicine (9-Sim Nos. 10, 2000, 6) are two different characters of the instant medicine, namely, three different characters of the instant medicine, namely, three different characters of the instant medicine (9-Sim Nos. 10, 200, 2000, 2000, 2000, 2000, 3000,000

3. Whether the trial decision of this case is unlawful

A. Interpretation of the Enforcement Decree of this case

1) Method of interpretation

As a matter of principle, since the law is a universal norm with the same binding force against many and unspecified persons, it is necessary to clarify the standard meaning of the law in its interpretation so as to ensure objective validity, and to maintain consistency with all the people as much as possible so as to avoid undermining legal stability. Meanwhile, since positive law is established in consideration of a universal and typical matter, it is also required to interpret that the law can be the most reasonable solution appropriate for specific matters in applying the law in various cases that occur in society reality. In short, the goal of statutory interpretation must be to find concrete validity within the extent that does not undermine legal stability. Furthermore, in principle, the interpretation must be faithfully interpreted within the ordinary meaning of the text used in the law, as far as possible, in light of the legislative intent and purpose of the law, the history of its enactment and amendment, harmony with the entire legal order, and relationship with other Acts and subordinate statutes, thereby complying with the above request for statutory interpretation (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 2013Da343181, Jul. 17, 2013).

2) Specific interpretation

A) The history of the amendment

(1) As the Patent Act was amended by Act No. 3891 on December 31, 1986, the extension of the term was first introduced, and the patent law was amended by Act No. 4207 on January 13, 1990, and the location of the provision was changed to Article 89 at the same time, and there was a change in the location of the provision on several occasions, such as deletion of the lower limit of less than two years in the patent law. However, as a substitute until the former Patent Act, the requirement for extension of the term was prescribed to mean the extension of the term of an invention “an invention as prescribed by the Presidential Decree requiring a long period of time due to tests of activity, safety, etc. under other Acts and subordinate statutes” for the purpose of permission, registration, etc. (hereinafter “permission, etc.”).

(2) Meanwhile, after the enforcement of the Patent Act, the term extension extension application system was introduced, the term “an invention determined by the President” under the delegation of the Patent Act, and the term “an invention of a drug subject to marketing approval under the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act to practice a patented invention.” However, only the term “Article of the Enforcement Decree of the instant case” prescribed the meaning of the said drug as “a drug manufactured with a new substance (referring to a substance whose chemical structure in the active part having medicinal effects is new) as an effective substance, and for which the first marketing approval has been granted.”

In the process of amendment of the provision of the Enforcement Decree of this case, the Enforcement Decree of the Patent Act, which includes the contents of defining “new substance” for the purpose extremely similar to the definition provision of “new substance” under the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, was pre-announceed (Article 7-1, 2, 8-1, 2, and 8-2 of the evidence No. 7), but the actual amendment was conducted differently from the contents of the legislative notice (the Defendant did not submit any data on the grounds that the amendment was made differently from the legislative notice, even though he requested the Ministry of Government Legislation to examine the above amendment).

B) Legislative intent and purpose

(1) In the process of the amendment of the Patent Act (amended by Act No. 3891, Dec. 31, 1986), explanatory materials, examination reports, etc., which were introduced for the first time by the extension system, include the following:

Since more research and development costs and long-term regulations on products, such as safety and pollution prevention, are strengthened as the period required for the commercialization of the invention is gradually long, and the period required for the commercialization of the invention is relatively short for the inventor who has received the patent to sell the patent product in the market and receive compensation for the effort to make the invention, the patent period of 12 years now shall be extended to 15 years according to international general practices within the extent that does not seriously undermine the interests of the consumers of the patent product, and the patent restitution system is newly introduced to strengthen the protection of the inventor by adopting the patent restitution system.

(2) Considering the legislative intent and purpose of the aforementioned Act, the extension of the term under the former Patent Act is a system that extends the term of a patent to an invention that requires permission, etc. under the statutes to practice a patented invention within the term of a patent, and that requires a long period of time due to necessary tests, etc., for a period not exceeding five years. In the case of an invention of medicine, agricultural chemicals, etc., permission, registration, etc. shall be obtained from the regulatory authority in accordance with the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act or the Agrochemicals Control Act, etc. aimed at securing safety and effectiveness to practice the invention. For this purpose, a long period of time is required to undergo necessary tests, examinations, etc., and a patent holder suffers disadvantages without executing the patented invention during the said period. This goes against equity compared with patent rights in other industries. Accordingly, Article 89 of the former Patent Act provides that the term of a patent may be extended to the extent of five years for which permission, etc. could not be granted to promote technological development by resolving such unreasonable outcomes and protecting and encouraging the invention of medicines, etc.

C) The purpose of delegation

(1) As the standard to determine a patented invention subject to application for registration of extension of the term of existence belongs to highly professional and technical matters and needs to revise its contents in order to actively and flexibly cope with technological development or age situations, the instant delegation provision is delegated to subordinate statutes instead of directly stipulating the specific and detailed contents of the said standard in the law. However, the instant delegation provision limited the scope of the patented invention subject to registration of extension to “an invention requiring a long period of time due to an activity, safety test, etc. necessary for permission, etc.”

(2) In light of the legislative purport, purpose, content, and form of the instant delegation clause, in interpreting the scope of delegation clause, whether a long-term period of time is required due to activity, safety test, etc. for permission, etc. cannot be said to be an absolute standard. In other words, even if a “new drug” invention requires more long-term period of time in clinical trials, examination, etc. compared with other pharmaceutical inventions and requires continuous development for permission, etc. even after filing an application, considering the legislative purport, purpose, content, and form of the instant delegation clause, the scope of delegation clause cannot be interpreted to be limited to an “new drug” invention based on such circumstances.

(3) In cases of products whose term extension system was extended, approved or registered as “new drug” after the introduction of the extension system, a considerable number of years of extension period is less than one year (Evidence Nos. 25 through 28, No. 29-1 through 3). Considering the fact that an examination of the instant medicine was conducted for 484 days at the place of food and drug at the place of food and drug as to the instant medicine, it is difficult to readily conclude that the term “period required due to testing activity, safety, etc.” is limited to a new drug. Such circumstances also are grounds for limiting the scope of authorization of the instant delegation provision to a new drug invention.

D) Ordinary meaning of the language and text

(1) Article 2(1) of the Enforcement Decree of the instant case provides that “an invention related to a drug for which a first marketing approval is granted, which is a product manufactured with a new substance whose chemical structure in the active part indicating efficacy is a new substance as an effective ingredient, as one of the inventions subject to extension of duration.”

However, such a provision on the definition of “new substance” is obvious that it does not coincide with the definition of new medicine under Article 2 of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act (hereinafter “new medicine” refers to a new material medicine, the creation of a chemical structure or essence of which is entirely new, or a composite medicine, the substance of which contains new materials as effective ingredients, as designated by the Minister of Food and Drug Safety).

Meanwhile, Article 2 subparag. 7 of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act defines new drugs for the purposes similar to those of the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act (Article 2 subparag. 7); and Article 2 subparag. 1 of the same Act defines the meaning of “effective ingredients” as “material group or material group (including raw drugs, etc., in which the efficacy and effect of which are expected, directly or indirectly, by internal pharmacological action, are not revealed).” (Article 2 subparag. 1).

(2) It seems that there is no generally established concept about the meaning of "virative part indicating efficacy" in the pharmaceutical field.

(3) Meanwhile, the issue arises as to whether a pharmaceutical invention can be qualified for extension of the term of existence. The pharmaceutical invention is “here-use invention” (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Hu3664, May 16, 2014); “alternative invention” (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Hu3664, May 16, 2014); “absent invention” (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2002Hu1935, Oct. 24, 2003); “abste-type invention” (see, e.g., Supreme Court en banc Decision 2010Hu2865, Jul. 14, 201); “abste-type invention” (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2009Hu4322, Oct. 13, 2011; 2015Hu2515, etc.).

Invention of medicinal use is an essential professional idea that a specific substance (i.e., active component; hereinafter referred to as “vient component”) has a treatment effect against a specific disease. The active component and its pharmaceutical use are inventions (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2012Hu3664, May 16, 2014). Alternative invention claiming a compound, which is a subordinate concept of active component, has the treatment effect on a specific disease. Furthermore, the treatment effect of an invention has a common effect on a specific disease if it is revealed that it has treatment effect on a specific disease. In addition, the treatment effect of a specific medicine invention has the treatment effect on a specific disease.

(4) Taking into account the foregoing examples of use and the meaning of active elements in the invention of a medicine, it seems natural to interpret the chemical structure of the part that represents the treatment effect of a specific disease as a new substance by using an inherent pharmacological action in the composition of a medicine rather than by deeming it as a new drug under the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act, as alleged by the Defendant.

E) General: Interpretation of the Enforcement Decree of the instant case

Considering the legislative intent and purpose of the former Patent Act, the purport of delegation, and the history of amendment, centering on the literal meaning of the delegation provision of this case and the enforcement decree of this case, it is reasonable to deem that a drug under the enforcement decree of this case is a drug that has treatment effect different from that of the existing permitted drug, and at the same time, manufactures “new substance with the chemical structure of the part that represents the above treatment effect compared with the existing permitted drug” as an effective substance, and thus, is a drug that has obtained marketing approval for the first time (However, in the legislative theory, it is desirable to clarify the scope of delegation by clearly stating the contents of the invention required for a long period of time as stipulated in the enforcement Decree, or by amending the law by specifically explaining the criteria for determining the

B. Whether the instant medicine constitutes a provision of the Enforcement Decree of the instant case

1) The active ingredients of the instant medicine, 9-Simnocuic cid, are in a relationship between the elderly people who are the active ingredients of the medicine already approved, the elderly people of letititititis (Evidence No. 14), the elderly of letitititis (Evidence No. 14) and the nature body of the gememesis (Titrus, gemere omomer, gemere 10) of the instant medicine.

Note 10)

The active ingredients of the instant medicine may be assessed to vary between the active ingredients of the medicine for which marketing approval is granted and the three-dimensional structure of the medicine.

On the other hand, hythrative body has different three-dimensional structure and has a significant difference in physical and chemical properties such as ionization or biological activity.

A person shall be appointed.

2) Furthermore, unlike the combination of Leti No. 9-Sim Leti No. 9-Sim Industries (hereinafter referred to as Eti No. 9-Sim r. 11) by Letis ratians only into RAR among the accommodations, the combination of RAR as well as RAR not only a week but also a week 12) LXR. In addition, Letisan has a chronic hiver treatment effect without Letis latians (Evidence No. 5, No. 14, No. 16, and No. 17). The difference between these treatment effects seems to arise from the difference before the operation.

3) Therefore, even though 9-Sim Hatysan and Leti Seniors have common character combining the RAR, and where the medicine of this case is administered to the human body, it is reasonable to deem the medicine of this case as the first product license, since the chemical structure of the part having the above treatment effect is manufactured with new material as an active ingredient, compared with the existing permitted medicine, in light of the general nature of the Hati Seniors and the differences in the effect of each active ingredient, as seen earlier, in light of the general nature of the trathic body and the differences in the effect of each active ingredient, it is reasonable to deem the medicine of this case as the first product license.

C. General: Whether the trial decision of this case is unlawful

Therefore, the patented invention subject to extension of this case constitutes an invention prescribed by the Enforcement Decree of this case, which requires a long period of time to undergo the activity, safety, etc. test necessary to obtain permission under the former Pharmaceutical Affairs Act to implement the patented invention, but the defendant's refusal to file an application for extension of this case on the ground that the drug of this case does not constitute a new drug is illegal.

4. Conclusion

Therefore, the plaintiff's claim of this case seeking the revocation of the trial decision of this case is justified and it is so decided as per Disposition.
