Summary/Abstract: With this development, attention is paid to the patent claims, which for the first time were submitted within the scope of Bulgarian legislation with the introduced legal regulation in Art. 17 of the Patents’ Act in 1993. Attention is drawn to the term “sign equivalence”. The difference between the two systems of interpretation of the claims is indicated – restrictive and expansive in relation to the legal function of the claims. The current case-law of the Sofia City Court is cited, which stated the main situations in a dispute over patent infringements.
