2) Prior Invention 2 (Evidence A No. 4)

The main contents and drawings of the Japanese Patent Gazette published on March 1, 2016 are related to the "Engine control device for train train vehicles" published in No. 5872780, and the main contents and drawings thereof are as follows:

본문내 포함된 표 [가] 기술분야 본 발명은 디젤 기관 등의 엔진(내연 기관)을 주행용 구동원으로 하여 주행하는 기동차에 사용되는 기동차용 엔진 제어 장치에 관한 것이다(문단번호 [0001]). [나] 배경기술 및 해결하려는 과제 주행용 구동력은 엔진 출력 전체로부터, 보조기에 입력되어 보조기 구동원으로서 사용되는 구동력(이하 ‘보조기 구동력’)을 뺀 만큼이 된다는 점에서, 보조기의 동작 상태가 변동하는 것에 의해 보조기 구동력이 변동하면, 그것에 따라 주행용 구동력도 변동하게 된다. 이 때문에, 그 주행용 구동력의 변동 정도에 따라서는 그 주행용 구동력이 입력·전달되는 각종 기기에 악영향을 미치거나 승차감에 악영향을 미칠 우려가 있고, 안정적인 운전 취급의 실현이 곤란하였다(문단번호 [0008]). 본 발명은 상기 과제를 감안하여 이루어진 것으로, 보조기 동작 상태의 변동(보조기 구동력의 변동)에 관계없이 주행용 구동력의 변동을 억제하는 것이 가능한 기동차용 엔진 제어 장치를 제공하는 것을 목적으로 한다(문단번호 [0011]). [다] 주요 구성 도 1에 나타내는 바와 같이, 본 발명이 적용된 실시형태의 기동차(1)는 그 플로어 아래에 주행용 구동원인 엔진(2)이 배치되고, 플로어 아래에 있어서의 차량 양단 측에는 각각 대차(5, 6)가 배치되어 있다(문단번호 [0046]). 또 기동차(1)의 플로어 아래에는, 엔진(2)의 출력을 일방의 대차(5)의 차륜에 전달하기 위한, 변속기(3), 추진축(4), 종감속기(7, 8) 등으로 이루어지는 전달 기구가 배치되어 있다. 요컨대 엔진(2)의 출력은 변속기(3), 추진축(4), 각 종감속기(7, 8)에 의해 순차적으로 전달되고, 최종적으로 차축·차륜에 전달되어, 이에 의해 기동차(1)가 주행하게 된다. 이들 전달 기구의 구성은 잘 알려져 있기 때문에, 여기서는 그 설명은 생략한다. 또한 변속기(3)는 토크 컨버터를 구비한 주지의 액체 변속기이다(문단번호 [0049]). 또 엔진(2)의 출력은 상기와 같이 주행용 구동원으로서 사용될 뿐만 아니라, 각종 보조기의 구동원으로서도 사용된다. 즉, 엔진(2)의 출력은 보조기 구동축(11)을 통하여, 발전기(12)나 라디에이터(13) 등의 각종 보조기에도 전달되고, 이에 의해 이들 각종 보조기가 구동되게 된다. 이들 각종 보조기 중에는, 예를 들어 컴프레서(16)나 공조 장치(17) 등(후술하는 도 2 참조), 엔진(2)의 출력에 의해 직접 구동되는 것은 아니지만 발전기(12)의 발전 전력에 의해 동작하는 각종 전기 부하도 포함되어 있다(문단번호 [0050]). 각 대차(5, 6)에는 각각, 이른바 에어 서스펜션으로서 기능하는 주지의 공기 스프링이 장착되어 있다. 즉, 일방의 대차(5)에는 그 중앙부에 있어서의 차량 폭 방향의 양단부에 각각 공기 스프링(5a, 5b)이 장착되고, 타방의 대차(6)에도 그 중앙부에 있어서의 차량 폭 방향의 양단부에 각각 공기 스프링(6a, 6b)이 장착되어 있다(문단번호 [0051]). 그리고 일방의 대차(5)의 각 공기 스프링(5a, 5b)에는 각각 응하중 센서(30)(도 2 참조)가 장착되어 있다. 이 응하중 센서(30)는 기동차(1)의 중량(차량 중량)을 검출하기 위한 것으로, 직접적으로는 대응하는 공기 스프링의 내압을 검출하고, 그 검출 결과에 따른 응하중 신호를 출력한다(문단번호 [0052]). 기본 지령값(Vm)을 그대로 제어 지령값으로서 엔진(2)에 입력하도록 하면, 엔진(2)의 출력(엔진 출력)은 전체적으로 노치에 따른 소정값(소정 출력, 소정 토크)으로 제어되게 되기 때문에, 보조기의 동작 상태가 변동하면, 엔진 출력 중 보조기 구동용으로 사용되는[즉 보조기 구동축(11) 측에 출력되는] 만큼인 보조기 구동력이 변동하고, 이에 의해 엔진 출력 중 주행용으로 사용되는[즉 변속기(3) 측에 출력되는] 만큼인 주행용 구동력도 변동하게 된다. 또한 승무원·승객의 수에 따라 차량 중량이 변동하는 것에 의해, 차량의 주행 성능에 영향이 발생하게 된다(문단번호 [0058]). 그래서 본 실시형태에서는, 보조기의 동작 상태의 변화에 의해 보조기 구동력이 변동해도 주행용 구동력의 변동을 억제할 수 있도록, 또한 차량 중량이 변동해도 양호한 주행 성능을 안정적으로 유지시킬 수 있도록, 보조기 구동력 및 차량 중량에 따라 기본 지령값(Vm)을 보정하고, 보정 후의 값을 제어 지령값으로서 엔진(2)에 출력하도록 하고 있다. 그리고 그 보정을 실시하기 위해서, 엔진 제어부(21)에, 보조기 부하 보정값 연산부(24), 제1 보정 연산부(23), 차량 중량 보정값 연산부(26) 및 제2 보정 연산부(25)가 구비되어 있다(문단번호 [0059], [0060]). 차량 중량 보정값 연산부(26)는 각 대차(5, 6)에 각각 장착된 응하중 센서(30)로부터의 응하중 신호에 기초하여, 차량 중량이 커질수록 커지도록 차량 중량 보정값(Vβ)을 연산한다. 반대로 말하면, 차량 중량이 작아질수록 작아지도록 차량 중량 보정값(Vβ)을 연산한다(문단번호 [0068]). 제2 보정 연산부(25)는 제1 보정 연산부(23)로부터의 제1 보정값(Vm1)과 차량 중량 보정값 연산부(26)로부터의 차량 중량 보정값(Vβ)을 가산하는 보정 연산(본 발명의 제2 연산에 상당)을 실시함으로써, 제2 보정값(Vm2)(본 발명의 제2 보정값에 상당)을 산출하여 출력한다(문단번호 [0069]). 그리고 이 제2 보정 연산부(25)로부터의 제2 보정값(Vm2)이 제어 지령값으로서 엔진(2)에 입력된다. 이 때문에, 엔진(2)에 입력되는 제어 지령값은 기본 지령값(Vm)을 기본으로 하면서, 이 기본 지령값(Vm)을 보조기 부하가 클수록 커지도록, 또한 차량 중량이 클수록 커지도록 보정한 것이 된다. 이로 인해 엔진 출력은 기본 지령값(Vm)에 대응한 기준 엔진 출력에 보조기 부하분 및 차량 중량분이 추가된 것이 되고, 결과적으로 보조기 부하나 차량 중량이 변동해도 주행용 구동력[변속기(3)에 입력되는 토크, 마력]의 변동은 억제되게 된다(문단번호 [0070]). 이와 같이 주행용 구동력과 보조기 구동력을 종합한 엔진 출력 제어를 실시함으로써, 보조기(단 본 실시형태에서는 전기 부하만)의 동작 상태의 변동(보조기 부하의 변동)에 관계없이, 주행용 구동력의 변동을 억제하는 것이 가능해진다. 그리고 주행용 구동력의 변동을 억제할 수 있고, 변속기 입력 토크의 변동을 억제할 수 있다는 점에서, 안정적인 운전 취급을 실현할 수 있다. 또 변속기(3)의 설계 용량 가득 입력 토크를 제어함으로써, 엔진 출력·변속기(3)의 설계 최적화가 가능해진다(문단번호 [0090]). 또 보조기 구동력에 더하여 추가로 차량 중량도 고려하여 제어 지령값을 생성함으로써, 차량 중량에 관계없이 양호한 주행 성능을 안정적으로 유지시키는 것도 가능해진다. 또한 보조기 부하가 변동하는 경우에는 그것을 미리 알 수 있도록 하고, 실제로 변동하기 전에 미리 그 변동을 상정하여 엔진 출력을 제어하도록 하고 있다. 요컨대, 보조기 부하의 변동에 대한 엔진 출력의 응답 지연을 고려하여, 그 응답 지연에서 기인하는 주행용 구동력의 급증·급감 등의 방지책으로서, 보조기 부하가 실제로 변동하기 전에, 그 변동하는 만큼에 대응한 보조기 구동력 만큼 엔진 출력을 변동시키는 제어도 실시하도록 하고 있다. 이 때문에 보조기 부하의 변동에서 기인하는 주행용 구동력의 변동을 보다 효과적으로 억제할 수 있다(문단번호 [0093]).

3) Prior Invention 3 (A evidence 5)

With respect to the “vehicle control device” inserted in the Japanese Patent Gazette No. 2007-326427, which was published on December 20, 2007, and the main contents and drawings thereof are as follows:

본문내 포함된 표 [가] 기술분야 본 발명은 차량에 부여해야 하는 구동력 및 제동력을 제어하는 차량의 제어 장치에 관한 것이다(문단번호 [0001]). [나] 배경기술 및 해결하려는 과제 종래 차체 속도가 목표 속도로 유지되도록(즉 차량이 정속주행) 차량에 대해서 부여하는 구동력이나 제동력 등을 제어하는 자동 주행 제어 장치가 제안되어 있다(문단번호 [0002]). 내리막 구배에서 오르막 구배로 변화했을 때, 오르막 구배를 오르는 데에 충분한 구동력을 즉시 얻을 수 없어, 오르막 구배를 오르기 시작하기까지 시간이 걸리는 경우가 있었다. 따라서 상기한 자동 주행 제어 장치에서는, 내리막 구배에서 오르막 구배로 변화하는 노면에 있어서, 차체 속도를 목표 속도로 유지하는 것이 곤란하였다(문단번호 [0004]). 본 발명은 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 이루어진 것으로, 그 목적으로 하는 바는, 구동력을 유지하면서, 제동력에 의해 차체 속도를 제어함으로써, 적절히 오르막 구배를 오르게 하는 것이 가능한 차량의 제어 장치를 제공하는 것에 있다(문단번호 [0005]). [다] 주요 구성 차량(100)은 주로 엔진(내연 기관)(1)과, 차륜(2FR, 2FL, 2RR, 2RL)과, 차륜 속도 센서(3FR, 3FL, 3RR, 3RL)와, 브레이크 시스템(4)과, 유로(4a)와, 브레이크(5FR, 5FL, 5RR, 5RL)와, 가속도 센서(G센서)(7)와, ECU(Engine Control Unit)(10)를 구비한다. 또한 이하에서는 차륜(2FR, 2FL)을「전륜(2FR, 2FL)」이라고 부르고, 차륜(2RR, 2RL)을「후륜(2RR, 2RL)」이라고 부른다. 또 차륜(2FR, 2FL, 2RR, 2RL)에 있어서, 전후좌우 등의 구별을 하지 않는 경우에는, 간단히「차륜(2)」으로서 사용한다(문단번호 [0016]). 엔진(1)은 연소실 내의 혼합기를 폭발시켜, 동력을 발생하는 내연 기관이다. 엔진(1)에 의해 발생한 동력은 도시하지 않은 토크 컨버터나 트랜스미션이나 드라이브 샤프트 등을 통하여, 전륜(2FR, 2FL) 및 후륜(2RR, 2RL)의 적어도 어느 것에 전달된다. 엔진(1)은 후술하는 ECU(10)로부터 공급시키는 제어 신호에 의해 발생하는 구동력(이하 ‘구동 토크’라고도 부른다) 등이 제어된다(문단번호 [0017]). 차륜 속도 센서(3FR, 3FL, 3RR, 3RL)는 각각 차륜(2FR, 2FL, 2RR, 2RL)의 회전속도(이하 ‘차륜 속도’라고도 부른다)를 검출하는 센서이다. 차륜 속도 센서(3FR, 3FL, 3RR, 3RL)는 차륜 속도에 대응하는 검출 신호를 ECU(10)에 공급한다. 또 가속도 센서(7)는 차량(100)의 가속도를 검출함과 함께, 주행로의 언덕길 구배(언덕길의 경사)를 검출한다. 가속도 센서(7)는 검출한 값에 대응하는 검출 신호를 ECU(10)에 공급한다(문단번호 [0018]). 브레이크 시스템(4)은 ECU(10)로부터 공급되는 제어 신호에 의해 제어된다(문단번호 [0019]). ECU(10)는 상술한 차륜 속도 센서(3FR, 3FL, 3RR, 3RL)로부터 취득되는 차륜 속도에 기초하여 차량(100)의 속도(차체 속도)를 산출한다. 그리고 ECU(10)는 차체 속도나 목표 속도 등에 기초하여, 차량(100)에 대해 부여해야 하는 구동 토크 및 제동 토크의 제어를 실시한다(문단번호 [0020]). 본 실시형태에서는, 상기한 제어를 실행 중에 차체 속도가 목표 속도보다 상승한 경우에, 차량(100)에 부여하는 구동 토크를 소정값(이하 ‘소정 구동 토크’라고도 부른다) 이상으로 유지하는 제어 및 차체 속도를 목표 속도로 유지하기 위해서 차량(100)에 대해 제동 토크를 부여하는 제어를 실시한다. 즉, ECU(10)는 차체 속도가 목표 속도보다 상승한 경우에는, 구동 토크를 크게 감소시키는 제어를 실시하는 대신에, 구동 토크가 소정값 이하로 감소하지 않게 제어하면서, 제동 토크를 차량(100)에 대해 부여함으로써, 차체 속도를 목표 속도로까지 감소시켜 유지하는 제어를 실시한다(문단번호 [0023]). 이와 같은 제어를 실시함으로써, 예를 들어 내리막 구배를 빠져나와 오르막 구배를 주행하는 경우 등에 있어서, 구동 토크를 소정값 이상으로 확보해 둘 수 있기 때문에, 이 구동 토크를 사용하여, 오르막 구배를 적절히 오르는 것이 가능해진다. 즉, 내리막 구배 등의 노면을 다 내려온 후에 큰 실속 등을 일으키지 않고, 오르막 구배를 대체로 정속도로 부드럽게 주행할 수 있다(문단번호 [0024]).

Although registration fees for the preceding invention 1 were paid at the time of application for the patent application ( August 16, 2016) prior to the time of application for the patent application of this case (Article 15:40:54), the patent register for the preceding invention 1 shall not be deemed a prior art denying the inventiveness of the patent application of this case, since registration fees for the prior invention 1 were not publicly notified prior to the filing date of the patent application of this case (Article 17:05:51 on August 17, 2016).

2) The patent application invention of the instant Claim 1 is not denied by the remainder prior inventions 2 and 3.

3) Therefore, the instant trial decision, which concluded otherwise, should be revoked as it is unlawful.

B. Defendant’s assertion

1) The invention of this case is filed after the payment of patent fees (registration fees) for the prior invention reaches the Korean Intellectual Property Office. Since the patent fees for the prior invention were fully paid and thereafter the original patent register for the prior invention was created, ① the patent is created by registration of establishment [Article 87(1) of the former Patent Act (amended by Act No. 14035, Feb. 29, 2016; hereinafter the same shall apply]; a person intending to obtain registration of establishment of a patent shall pay patent fees for three years from the date when he/she intends to obtain registration of establishment (Article 79(1) of the former Patent Act); and the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall grant registration for establishment of the patent fees for the subsequent invention (Article 87(2)1 of the former Patent Act); the date when the original patent registration fees for the prior invention arrives after the date when the original patent is fully paid due to internal administrative procedures of the Korean Intellectual Property Office and the application for registration fees for the prior invention reaches the original patent registration date or the date when documents were received at least two years after the original registration date (2).

2) The nonobviousness of the instant Claim No. 1 is denied as the person with ordinary skills can easily make an invention by prior inventions 1 or by prior inventions 1 through 3.

3) Therefore, the instant trial decision, which concluded as above, is lawful.

3. Determination as to the illegality of the trial decision of this case

Article 27 (Method of Registration of Creation of Patent Right)

The following matters shall be recorded in the patent register when the establishment of a patent right is registered:

1. Patent number column: The patent number;

2. For the matters registered in the column of rights: The following matters:

(a) Date and number of the patent application;

(b) Date and publication number of the publication of registration.

(c) Date of the decision or trial decision on patent;

(d) The claim(s).

(e) Title of classification code and invention;

3. The term "registered matters" means the name and address of the patentee (if the patentee is a corporation, referring to its name and place of business);

2) Relevant legal principles

Article 29(1)1 of the former Patent Act provides that an invention shall not be patentable if it falls under an invention already known or worked publicly in the Republic of Korea prior to the filing of a patent application. The term "publically known" refers to a situation in which a large number of unspecified people can be recognized at least, even though it does not necessarily require recognition to many unspecified persons (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 2000Hu1238, Jun. 14, 2002). Meanwhile, the term "before the filing of a patent application" in this context refers to a natural Si which takes into account the time, division, and beginning of a patent application, which is not the concept on the filing date of a patent application.

3) Facts of recognition

In full view of the purport of the entire pleadings, the following facts can be acknowledged in the evidence Nos. 1, 2, and 1 and 2 of the evidence Nos. 1, 2.

① The Plaintiff filed an application for prior invention 1 on April 7, 2015 prior to the filing of the instant patent application, and paid registration fees with the serial number assigned by the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office after obtaining a decision to grant a patent from an examiner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office on July 11, 2016, and recorded the Plaintiff’s information on the receipt of registration fees for prior invention 1 in the file of the computerized information processing system of the Korean Intellectual Property Office on August 16, 2016.

② After that, the Plaintiff’s patent application invention was filed on August 16, 2016.

③ Meanwhile, on August 17, 2016, the Patent Register No. 17:05:51 on August 17, 2016, which is the date following the filing date of the instant patent application, was actually created. However, the Patent Register as to the Prior Invention No. 1 was written as “ August 16, 2016,” on which the patent registration date was paid.

4) Specific review

(A) Article 216(1) of the former Patent Act, which was in force at the time of the filing and registration of the instant patent application invention and prior invention 1, provides, “A person who needs certification of patent or trial, issuance of a certified copy or abstract of documents, and perusal or duplication of the Patent Register and documents, may file an application with the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office or the President of the Intellectual Property Tribunal.” Paragraph (2) of the same Article provides, “The Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office or the President of the Intellectual Property Tribunal may not grant permission if a request under paragraph (1) has been made but is not registered or published, as well as documents relating to a trial against a decision of refusal to grant a patent under Article 132-3 of the former Patent Act and public order or morality, or may harm public health, unless there is a separate provision that restricts the third party’s perusal or duplication of documents relating to a patent application whose registration has not been published, and only Article 120 of the Enforcement Rule provides for the procedure for an application for perusal of materials pursuant to Article 216 of the former Patent Act.

(B) Meanwhile, registration of establishment of a patent refers to the procedure to enter the matters prescribed in the patent register kept with the Korean Intellectual Property Office ex officio at the time of payment or exemption of patent fees after the examiner's decision to grant the patent.

However, when a person who wishes to register a patent has paid patent fees for the following reasons, the patent shall not be deemed to have been publicly notified on the ground that the patent was registered immediately regardless of whether the procedure for registering the establishment of the patent was implemented by the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual

(1) Article 87(2) of the former Patent Act provides that “When a person who intends to register a patent pays a patent fee under Article 79(1) of the former Patent Act, the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall register the establishment of the patent.” Article 14(1)1 of the former Decree on the Registration of Patent shall be ex officio the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall register the establishment of the patent.” Article 27 of the former Enforcement Rule on the Registration of Patent Right provides for the method of registering the establishment of a patent. Article 79(1) of the former Enforcement Rule on the Registration of Patent Right provides that where a person who intends to register the establishment of a patent pays a patent fee under Article 79(1) of the former Patent Act (including where a payment slip is received or a payment slip is recorded in the file of the Korean Intellectual Property Office’s computerized data processing system; hereinafter the same shall apply) regardless of whether the procedure for registering the establishment of a patent is fulfilled, the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall immediately grant the registration fee to the Korean Intellectual Property Office in order of registration No. 2.

(2) Article 81-2 (1) of the former Patent Act provides that "the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall order the supplement of patent fees if a person who intends to register the establishment of a patent right or a patentee fails to pay part of patent fees within the period specified in Article 79 (3) or 81 (1)." Article 81-2 (2) of the former Patent Act provides that "any person ordered to pay patent fees under paragraph (1) may pay patent fees within one month after receipt of such order." Article 87 (2) 3 of the former Patent Act provides that "the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office shall register the establishment of a patent if he/she supplements patent fees under Article 81-2 (2)" that "if a person who intends to register the establishment of a patent right pays patent fees after confirmation of whether the patent fees under the former Patent Act have been fully paid (the same shall apply where a person who intends to register the establishment of a patent has paid all patent fees under the former Patent Act), and if a person who intends to obtain partial supplement of patent fees under the former Patent Act fails to pay part of patent fees.

Therefore, the time when a person who wishes to register a patent has paid patent fees or when the information about the receipt of patent fees reaches the Korean Intellectual Property Office, and the time when a person who wishes to register a patent has finally confirmed that the payment of patent fees was made in full and the obligation to register a patent to the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office takes place, and there is no inevitable time interval between the time when the obligation to register a patent arises. Thus, no provision exists regarding the registration of a patent as soon as the registration of a patent was made immediately regardless of the implementation of the procedure for registering the establishment of the patent by the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office at the time when a person who wishes to register a patent, regardless of the implementation of the procedure for registering the establishment of the patent right, or as the

③ Moreover, even if a person seeking to register a patent has paid patent fees under Article 79(1) of the former Patent Act, the invention claimed in the patent application must not be disclosed until the establishment of the patent right is registered, and thus, the patent application invention should not be disclosed, and thus, the perusal, etc. is not allowed. As seen earlier, Article 216 of the former Patent Act explicitly provides that the time when the applicant is obliged to provide public access to the patent and the time when the application for perusal or reproduction is not permitted, and the time when the application for perusal

④ Meanwhile, the Defendant asserts to the effect that, where the creation of the patent register is delayed due to an administrative delay inside the Korean Intellectual Property Office, etc., the patent right should be deemed to be “date of registration of establishment” of the patent, as the patent right should be deemed to have been registered by the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office. However, Article 87(1) of the former Patent Act provides that “the term of patent right shall be 20 years after the date of registration of establishment of the patent right under Article 87(1) of the former Patent Act,” and Article 88(1) of the former Patent Act provides that “The term of patent right shall be 20 years after the date of registration of establishment of the patent right under Article 87(1) shall be 10 years after the date of registration of establishment of the patent right shall be 20 years after the date of registration of establishment of the patent right, regardless of the fact that the establishment of the patent right, which is a substantial requirement, shall be granted to the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office in consideration of the fact that the establishment registration of the patent right should be interpreted as part of the patent right protection right.

(C) Ultimately, the establishment of a patent right was registered upon the creation of the patent register at around 17:05:51 on August 17, 2016, by which the prior invention 1 had been registered. Unlike the registration fees, from August 16, 2016 to August 17, 17, 2016, when the patent registration register for the prior invention 1 was created, the prior invention 1 was registered by a third party’s perusal and reproduction of documents, etc. relating to the patent application for the prior invention 1 between August 17, 2016 and 17:05:51 on August 16, 2016, where the information received was delivered to the Korean Intellectual Property Office. Thus, it is difficult to view that the prior invention 1 was registered retroactively on August 16, 2016 as the filing date of the patent registration fee for the prior invention 1, and on August 16, 2016, which was recorded as the patent registration fee for the prior invention 1: the prior invention 16th.

Therefore, prior invention 1 is an invention publicly notified after the filing of the patent application of this case, and it cannot be a prior art that serves as the basis for determining the inventive step of the patent application of this case.

B. Whether the nonobviousness of the patent application No. 1 of the instant case is denied by prior inventions 2 and 3

1) The elements of the patent application invention of this case 4 are "a measuring unit consisting of strings to measure external strengths attached to presses through output axiss according to the main state of driving." The elements of the prior invention 2 are "each air sprinking (5a, 5b) of one bank (5)" of the prior invention 2, 30 (see also 20) in the response. At this response, 30 (30) in the response are designed to detect the weight (vehicle) of the train (1). A license (30) in the response are used to detect the pressure of the air sprinking (1) and to detect the pressure of the directly corresponding air sprinking, and output the signal from the response according to the detection result [052], but 4 elements correspond to the prior invention, while the measurement department is a string, while the response element of the prior invention is difference in the response element of the prior invention 2.

2) In addition, components 4 are controlled by control signals supplied from ECU (10). The ECU (10) shall be calculated by the speed (100) of vehicles (10) on the basis of the speed of the vehicle (100) acquired from ECU (3FR, 3FL, 3R, and 3RL). The ECU (10) shall also be in place of the old-dong soil and dynamics (100) on the basis of the speed, target speed, etc. of the vehicle (100), "The ECU shall carry out a control of the Gu-dong soil and dynamics (100) on the basis of the speed, target speed, etc. of the vehicle (A. 5, 019, 000). However, the ECU (10) on the basis of the measurement method of the preceding invention 3 has the difference between the location and 4 of the wheel.

3) Therefore, insofar as it is difficult to deem that the elements 4 differs from the corresponding elements of the prior invention 2 and 3, and thus, it is difficult to deem that the prior invention 2 and 3 had been initiated, the prior invention 2 and 3 cannot be easily derived by a person of ordinary skill with the exception of the prior invention 1. Thus, the nonobviousness of the instant Claim 1 invention is not denied by the prior invention 2 and 3 (e.g., there is no dispute between the parties concerned).

C. Sub-decision

In full view of the contents examined above, prior inventions 1 cannot be used as prior art denying the inventive step of the patent application invention since prior inventions 1 were not publicly known prior to the filing of the patent application invention, and the inventive step is not denied by prior inventions 2 and 3. Accordingly, the trial decision of this case holding that the inventive step of the patent application invention of this case should be denied by prior inventions 1 through 3 and accordingly, the registration of the patent application invention of this case should be rejected by prior inventions 1 through 3 is unlawful.

4. Conclusion

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

Judges Rohn-man (Presiding Judge) Kim Dong-dong

1) The prior invention of this case is identical to that of the prior invention 1.

2) The prior invention of this case is identical to that of the prior invention 2.

3) The prior invention of this case is identical to the prior invention 3.

4) The prior invention of this case is identical to that of the prior invention 1.

5) The prior invention of this case is identical to that of the prior invention 2.

6) The prior invention of this case is identical to that of the prior invention 3.

7) Also, the Patent and Utility Model Examination Guidelines (Protocol 201) of the Korean Intellectual Property Office explained, “If an application is registered without the publication of the registration, any person may peruse the application, and thus, may use it as prior art material under Article 29(1)1 of the Patent Act (see, e.g., Supreme Court Decision 3201.).”

8) On the other hand, the former Patent Act explicitly states that “the filing date of a patent shall be the date on which a patent application accompanied by the specification and necessary drawings reaches the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office” (Article 42-2(1)). Meanwhile, Article 79(1) of the former Patent Act states that “A person who intends to register a patent under Article 87(1) shall pay patent fees for three years from the date on which he/she wishes to register the establishment of the patent (hereinafter “the date of registration of the establishment”) and a patentee shall pay patent fees for one year from the following year’s filing date of registration of the establishment of the patent (Article 87(1) of the former Patent Act). However, as seen earlier, patent fees have the character of patent fees for grant of exclusive rights by the State (see, e.g., Constitutional Court en banc Decision 2001Hun-Ma200, Apr. 25, 2002).

9) Meanwhile, Article 216(1) of the former Patent Act prior to the amendment by Act No. 9381 of Jan. 30, 2009 provides, “Any person in need of the certification of a patent or trial, the copy or abstract of documents, the Patent Register and documents, may file an application with the Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office or the President of the Intellectual Property Tribunal for inspection or duplication of the Patent.” Article 216(2) of the former Patent Act provides, “The Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office or the President of the Intellectual Property Tribunal may not grant permission if the application under paragraph (1) might violate public order or good customs.”
