摘要：

目前的学术研究过程中，通常并不将专利申请人引文与专利审查员引文区别开来，而是作为一个整体的统计数据。但最近的研究发现在专利审查过程中，专利审查员添加了大量的引文，这种现象可能会对传统专利引文的基本假设造成影响。本文解释专利审查员引用行为的特征、引用倾向等因素，结合目前国内外专利审查员引用行为研究进展进行评述，从而对审查员引文是否应作为“噪音”剔除出专利引文问题给出回答。

关键词: 专利审查员引文, 专利引文分析, 噪音

In the current research, patent citations include citations by patent inventor and patent examiner. They are usually analyzed together as the statistical data during patent citation analysis. But recent researches found that examiners played a significant role in identifying. This behavior may have great impact on the underlying assumptions of traditional patent citations. The paper analyzes the differences between citations by patent inventor and patent examiner and preferences of examiners’, and validates the importance and practicability of analysis of citations by patent examiners’ through related literatures at home and aboard, and finally gives an answer about whether the examiner’s citations sould be removed from the patent citations or not.

Key words: Examiner’s citations, Patent citation analysis, Noise
