论微信朋友圈发布的内容是否构成专利法意义上的公开
On Whether the Content Published in WeChat Moments Constituting Public Disclosure in the Sense of Patent Law

微信软件自推出之日进入公众生活已经超过十年，其朋友圈功能更是成为人们日常使用的重要社交平台，除了分享日常见闻等个人生活内容，越来越多人们借助微信朋友圈平台的特殊属性来展示商品或者服务，而对于发布与微信朋友圈的内容能否构成专利法意义上的公开，目前并无具体的法律和司法解释规定，实践中不同法院、专利行政部门之间观点不一，学界也对此存在分歧。本文通过对实践中不同观点进行梳理分析，结合《专利审查指南》中的相关规定，从专利制度的核心目的出发，提出朋友圈浏览限制情况、获取对象保密义务、发布者主观目的和朋友圈性质以及第三人知悉情况这四项判断要素，并按照此顺序应用于实务判断，期望为相关判断标准的明确提供有益参考。
In addition to sharing personal life content such as daily news, more and more people use the special attributes of the WeChat Moments platform to display goods or services. And there is no specific law or judicial interpretation on whether the content published with WeChat Moments can constitute disclosure in the sense of the Patent Law. And there are different views between different courts and patent administrative departments in practice. There is also disagreement in the academic community. Based on the analysis of different perspectives in practice, combined with the relevant provisions in the Patent Examination Guidelines, and starting from the core purpose of the patent system, this paper proposes four judgment elements, namely, the restriction on browsing on the Moments, the confidentiality obligation of the acquisition object, the subjective purpose of the publisher and the nature of the Moments, and the knowledge of the third party, and applies them to the practical judgment in this order, hoping to provide a useful reference for the clarification of the relevant judgment standards.
