第84回 拒絶理由通知書から抜粋
2025/11/17
「引用文献1-3に記載された発明において、引用文献4に開示されている技術事項に基づいて、係止部を側壁に設けるようにすることは、当業者が適宜選択しうる設計的事項にすぎず、これによる格別な効果を奏するものとは認められない。」
翻訳例
In the inventions described in References 1 to 3, providing a locking portion in a side wall based on the technical feature disclosed in Reference 4 is merely a matter of design choice for a person skilled in the art, and it is not deemed that a remarkable effect is brought about thereby.
解説
The verb “奏する” can be translated in a number of ways, including “exhibit,” “demonstrate,” and other. However, with reference to effects in the context of the patent field, “bring about” and the other various forms thereof is a common translation which appropriately expresses the intent of the Examiner in a way which can be easily understood by native English speakers.
