摘要
专利年费作为一种以平衡公共利益和专利权人利益的立法技术手段,是维持专利权效力的要件之一,而不是法定义务。缴纳专利年费的行为或者不缴纳专利年费的行为的性质都是法律事实,而不是履行或者违反法定义务的行为。缴纳专利年费的行为或不缴纳专利年费的行为都是法律事实中的事实行为。
As a means of balancing the benefit between the public and the patent holder, patent annual fee is one of the necessary parts to keep patent effective, rather than a legal obligation. Paying or not paying patent annual fee is in nature a kind of legal fact, rather than fulfilling or offending demeanours of legal obligation. Paying or not paying patent annual fee is an actual demeanour of all legal facts.
