令和６年（行ケ）第１００２３号「情報処理端末」

11/2/2025

令和６年（行ケ）第１００２３号審決取消請求事件は、特許出願（特願２０２１－８０１７６号、請求項の数８）の拒絶査定に対する不服審判請求（不服２０２３－１１６６６号）を不成立とした審決の取消訴訟で、争点は、①本件補正の可否、②本願発明の進歩性及び③手続違背の有無です。
特許庁は、本件補正は「決済に関する情報の入力の有無に関係なく」との記載を削除するものであり、特許請求の範囲を減縮するものではないため、補正要件を満たさないと判断しましたが、知財高裁は、本件補正は特許請求の範囲を減縮するものであると認定し、特許庁が本件補正を却下した審決は誤りであるとしました。
この判決をFelo AIにアップし、「要約してください。」「特許庁の判断と裁判所の判断の違いを詳しく説明してください。」「特許庁はなぜ間違った判断をしたのでしょうか？」「一般的に裁判所の方が特許庁よりプロパテントであると言われています。その影響はあるでしょうか？」と質問して回答を得ました。Felo AIでは、有料ユーザーはLLM（大規模言語モデル）を切り替えて使うことができます。今回は、OpenAI o3-mini (high)、Gemini 2.0 Flash、Claude 3.5 Sonnetで回答を得ました。また、ChatGPT 4o(Felo AI経由せず直接使用)の回答も添付しました。
回答の内容については、各自判断してください。

Reiwa 6 (Administrative Case) No. 10023 "Information Processing Terminal"

The lawsuit for the revocation of the decision in Reiwa 6 (Administrative Case) No. 10023 concerns a rejection appeal trial (Appeal No. 2023-11666) filed against the decision of rejection of a patent application (Application No. 2021-80176, with eight claims). The main issues in dispute are:
① The admissibility of the amendment in question,
② The inventive step of the present invention, and
③ The presence or absence of procedural violations.
The Japan Patent Office (JPO) determined that the amendment in question, which involved deleting the phrase “regardless of whether payment-related information is entered,” did not reduce the scope of the claims and thus did not meet the requirements for an amendment. However, the Intellectual Property High Court found that the amendment did indeed reduce the scope of the claims and ruled that the JPO’s decision to reject the amendment was incorrect.
The judgment was uploaded to Felo AI, and the following questions were posed to obtain responses:

“Summarize this case.”
“Explain in detail the difference between the JPO's decision and the court's decision.”
“Why did the JPO make an incorrect judgment?”
“It is often said that courts are generally more pro-patent than the JPO. Could this have influenced the outcome?”

Felo AI allows paid users to switch between different LLMs (large language models). In this case, responses were obtained from OpenAI o3-mini (high), Gemini 2.0 Flash, and Claude 3.5 Sonnet. Additionally, responses from ChatGPT-4o (used directly without Felo AI) were also included.
Please evaluate the responses at your own discretion.
