【摘要】 专利先行实施权是指在专利申请日或优先权日之前,他人研发或者通过合法途径知悉该技术,善意的已经开始制造相同产品、使用相同方法,或者已经做好制造、使用的必要准备的,他人享有在原有范围内继续制造、使用该专利技术的权利,这一行为不视为侵犯专利权。专利先行实施权不仅能够维护先行实施人的利益,实现相对公平,而且能够保障投资、生产经营等经济活动的稳定性,防止投资的浪费,维护社会公共利益。同时,对于实行先申请原则的国家来说,在平衡先发明人与先申请人之间权利的问题上也具有重要的作用。虽然我国历史悠久且存在着大量的先进技术,但涉及专利先行实施权制度的法律规定尚不完善,导致出现了法律适用的诸多困难。本文主要采用了比较分析、文献研究和实证分析等研究方法,以利益平衡理念为出发点,阐释了专利先行实施权的相关基础理论,借鉴美、英、德等专利制度相对完善国家先行实施权制度的立法经验以及主要国际条约中的有关规定,针对我国专利先行实施权制度实践中存在的主要问题,提出完善我国专利先行实施权制度的具体建议。全文除引言和结论外,正文共分为四个部分。第一章介绍了专利权的概念和内容,并从专利权限制的概念和类型入手,阐述了专利权限制的基本理论,在总结专利先行实施权的概念、性质和内容的基础上,评述了专利先行实施权的制度价值。第二章分别对两大法系包括美、英、德、法、日等一些专利发展优势明显的国家和主要国际条约中有关专利先行实施权的规定进行论述,通过比较分析,提出满足我国司法实践需要可予以借鉴的相关规定,以期待为完善我国专利先行实施权制度起到积极的推动作用。第三章论述了我国先行实施权的国家和地方两个层级的相关立法,并对三个司法实践中的典型个案进行了介绍,总结性的提出了我国先行实施权制度实践中亟待解决的问题。第四章从我国制度实践现状出发,借鉴国外相关立法,提出应从引入特定情形下的权利取得时间、明确先行实施的技术来源、丰富专利先行实施权内容、增加权利人的标记义务等方面完善相关立法。
【Abstract】 Prior User Right is intended to mean that, prior to the application date or priority date, in the case that others get to know the technology by research or any other legal way, they have begun to manufacture the same products, use the same methodology, or have made the necessary preparations to manufacture or use the technology in good faith, in this case, others have to right to continue to manufacture, use the patent in the original scope, this activity is not seen as patent tort behavior. The use of Prior User Right not only protects the right of the Prior User Right owner, but also protects the investment and the stability of the production prevents the waste, maintains the public goods. In the mean time, for the countries which applies the Prior User Right, it also helps to the balance the right between the investor and patent applicant. Historically, China has large number of advanced technology, but the laws for the Prior User Right is not comprehensive, which leads to the difficulties of applying the law. This article use the methodology of comparison analysis, documentary research and empirical analysis, in pursuit of the balance principle, tells the key basic theories of the Prior User Right, in light of the experiences of US, UK and Germany, based on the main problems we encounted, the article offers the suggestions for implementing the Prior User Right.Except for the introduction and conclusion, there are four parts of the body.The first part introduces the concept and the content of the patent right, analyses the basic theory of the patent right constraint theory from the concepts and catergories. After analysing the concept, nature and context of the Prior User Right, the article assess the value of Prior User Right.The second part discusses the Prior User Right systems in other countries, after the comparison, offering the relevant regulations which could be used.The third part talks about the legislations in the central and municipal level, in the mean time, it introduces the typical cases and the problems need to be fixed.The fourth part starts from the current legal system, learns from the other countries’ legislation, suggests that China should make the law more comprehensive by introducing the time for getting Prior User Right, making sure the technology source of Prior User Right, making the content of Prior User Right more comprehensive and increasing the obligation for Prior User Right owner.
