所謂專利侵害之均等論,係指比對被控侵權物與訟爭專利請求項,兩者在技術手段、功能及結果三者是否實質相同。所謂實質相同,乃侵害物所採取之替代手段,對所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者於閱讀說明書後,基於一般性之專業知識及職業經驗,易於思及所能輕易置換者。

擬答(得分目標70%):
The doctrine of equivalents in patent infringement refers to a comparison of claims between accused product and disputed patent, focusing on whether they are substantially the same in terms of technical means, function, and result. 'Substantially the same' means that the alternative means adopted by the infringing product can be easily conceived and readily substitutable by a person having ordinary skill in the relevant technical field, based on vocational knowledge and professional experience after reading the specification.
