Claim Chart是什么东西

Claim Chart的中文翻译一般是指权利要求对照表或者侵权对照表，就是将授权专利的权利要求特征与涉案产品的技术特征进行比对。

Claim Chart的结构形式

Claim Chart有多种形式，普遍采用的是左右对照式的Excel表格形式，即一侧为授权专利的权利要求特征，另一侧为涉案产品的技术特征。

授权专利权利要求	涉案产品技术特征
权利要求1，包括特征A	特征A’
特征B	特征B’
权利要求2，包括特征C	特征C’
权利要求3，包括特征D	特征D’

如果授权专利的权利要求1中的全部特征在涉案产品的技术特征中可以全部找到，那么涉案产品即构成侵权。即使涉案产品包含技术特征E’,其未在授权专利的权利要求中予以保护，那么也构成侵权。

典型的Claim Chart

苹果公司起诉HTC的Claim Chart:

Claims	Accused HTC Android Products
1. A computer-based system for detecting structures in data and performing actions based on detected structures, comprising:an input device for receiving data;	The Accused HTC Android Products contain a computer-based system for detecting structures in data and performing actions based on detecting structures, and comprises an input device for receiving data. For instance, the HTC Nexus One contains a 3.7 inch AMOLED touchscreen. (Ex. 26-A, Nexus One User Manual at 327.) The Nexus One thus includes an input device to receive computer data, from which it will detect structures, such as phone numbers and email addresses, in data such as email and SMS messages. (Ex. 26-A, Nexus One User Manual at 208.) By way of example, the functionality within the Nexus One includes Android’s “Linkify” functionality, which “take[s] a piece of text and a regular expression and turns all of the regex matches in the text into clickable links. This is particularly useful for matching things like email addresses, web urls, etc. and making them actionable.” (Ex. 26-B, Android Developer Site at Linkify.java) In particular, the matching functionality within Android’s “Linkify” engine searches text strings for structures representative of Web URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, and map addresses. (Id.)
an output device for presenting the data;	The Accused HTC Android Products contain an output device for presenting the data. For instance, the HTC Nexus One contains a 3.7 inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen that serves as an output device. (Ex. 26-A, Nexus One User Manual at 327.)
a memory storing information including program routines including	The Accused HTC Android Products contain a memory storing information including program routines. For instance, the HTC Nexus One contains 512MB of Flash memory, which stores program routines, including the phone’s Android operating system and applications on the phone. (Ex 26-A” Nexus One User Manual at 327; see also id. at 318.)
an analyzer server for detecting structures in the data and for linking actions to the detected structures;	The Accused HTC Android Products contain at least one analyzer server for detecting structures in the data and for linking actions to the detected structures. For example, the Nexus One includes an analyzer server that detects structures, such as phone numbers and email addresses, in data such as email and SMS messages. (Ex. 26-A, Nexus One User Manual at 208.) By way of example, the analyzer server within the Nexus One includes Android’s “Linkify” functionality, which “take[s] a piece of text and a regular expression and turns all of the regex matches in the text into clickable links. This is particularly useful for matching things like email addresses, web urls, etc. and making them actionable.” (Ex. 26-B, Android Developer Site at Linkify.java.) In particular, the matching functionality within Android’s “Linkify” engine searches text strings for structures representative of Web URLs, phone numbers, email addresses, and map addresses. (Id.)
a user interface enabling the selection of a detected structure and a linked action; and	The Accused HTC Android products contain a user interface enabling the selection of a detected structure and a linked action. For example, the Nexus One contains applications for browsing the Internet and for viewing email messages or conversation histories. These applications provide a user interface that allows the user to select a detected structure and a linked action. For instance, the Nexus One’s “Browser” application will cause all phone numbers found in a web page to be “linkable” to the user - that is, they will be highlighted and underlined. The user may then select a phone number by tapping on it, which will cause a linked action, such as sending the number to the Phone application, to occur. (See Ex 26-A, Nexus One User Manual, page 208.)
an action processor for performing the selected action linked to the selected structure; and	The Accused HTC Android products contain an action processor for performing the selected action linked to the selected structure.
For example, when a user clicks on a linked a phone number in the Nexus One’s “Browser” application, the Nexus One will launch the “Phone” application and import the selected phone number into the Phone application. (Ex. 26-A” Nexus One User Manual at 78; see also id. at 208.)
a processing unit coupled to the input device, the output device, and the memory for controlling the execution of the program routines.	The Accused HTC Android products contain a processing unit coupled to the input device, the output device, and the memory for controlling the execution of the program routines. For example, the Nexus One contains a Qualcomm QSD 8250 “Snapdragon” 1 GHz processor that controls the execution of the program routines. (Ex. 26-A, Nexus One User Manual at 327.)

Claim Chart的意义

Claim Chart在专利侵权诉讼与专利许可中意义重大，特别是在欧美地区，侵权诉讼需要提供Claim Chart。而在专利许可当中，Claim Chart由专利持有公司编写，其可以直观的看出许可专利（即授权专利）与被许可公司产品（即涉案产品）之间的关系。但通常在专利许可当中Claim Chart属于保密信息，很少有许可方愿意在没有签署NDA（non-disclosure agreement，保密协议）的情况愿意提供Claim Chart，所以在网络上一般很少能看到许可中用到的Claim Chart。对于许可方来说，Claim Chart写得好至关重要，Claim Chart也是双方谈判的基础。
