在许可执行者协会近期举办的网络研讨会上,美国专利商标局代理局长科克·摩根·斯图尔特回应了外界关于特朗普政府可能推出基于专利价值收费的猜测。据悉,该提案正由商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克审议,可能要求专利持有人按专利价值的1%至5%缴费,预计将产生数百亿美元的收入。
尽管斯图尔特并未证实该计划,但她承认卢特尼克公开表达了对专利获取成本低廉(通常约2000美元)与专利对企业潜在巨大价值之间存在差距的担忧。卢特尼克认为这种脱节现象值得重新评估现行收费结构。
尽管存在种种猜测,斯图尔特仍敦促利益相关方不要过度关注近期关于具体收费模式的报道。她强调卢特尼克致力于与知识产权界开展合作,共同探索现代化和强化美国专利体系的途径。据斯图尔特介绍,卢特尼克的目标是建立一个可靠且具有前瞻性的知识产权框架,以体现创新的真实价值。
[卢特尼克]认为,为一项可能为公司带来数亿美元甚至数十亿美元价值的发明,却要向美国政府支付2000美元,这种情况存在脱节。
