新中国《专利法》诞生后最早发明专利申请的认定研究

对我国《专利法》诞生后最早提出专利申请的中国发明专利文献进行了研究，结果表明：我国《专利法》实施日（1985年4月1日）申请的专利是新中国《专利法》诞生后的“首日专利申请”，而非“最早专利申请”。最早的发明专利申请，当是申请人在《专利法》实施日之前，以邮寄专利申请文件的方式提出的，共计6件。按申请人国籍区分，包括国内申请3件，国外申请3件，其中国内最早的专利申请是在1985年1月13日，国外最早的专利申请是在1985年1月10日。这一认定研究对于我国现当代专利史、科技史研究具有重要的参考价值。

Study on the affirmation of application for the earliest patent of invention after the birth of Patent Law of People＇ s Republic of China

The study analyzes the Chinese patent literatures on the patent application for the earliest patent of invention after the birth of Patent Law of People＇ s Republic of China. The result shows that the patents applied for on the day when Patent Law became effective （April 1, 1985） are the first applications on the first implementation day of the Patent Law, not ＂the earliest patent applications＂ after the birth of Patent Law. The earliest patent applications were presented by posting the patent application documents before the implementation day of Patent Law, including 6 pieces. Of the 6 applications, 3 were applied by domestic applicants, and 3 were applied by foreign applicants. The earliest domestic applications were made on January 13, 1985, and the earliest foreign applications were made on January 10, 1985. This affirmation is of great importance in the study of the history of patent and science in contemporary China.
