Abstract:Blood pressure measurement is the basic method for diagnosis of hypertension diseases, so it is particularly important to find a simple and correct blood pressure measurement method for clinical work. In this paper, whether blood pressure measurement methods can be granted patents was discussed. The standards and medical diagnosis practices of Guidelines for Patent Examination 2010 and practical patent application cases were used in this paper for the discussion. Blood pressure measurement methods are thought to be methods for measurement of physiological parameters of human body, which is not a sufficient condition for the diagnosis of hypertension or to be judged as diagnosis method. However, the blood pressure measurement method cannot be directly equivalent to the diagnosis of diseases. Therefore, it is reasonable to grant patent to blood pressure measurement methods.
