【摘要】 在专利侵权领域,专利间接侵权行为是一种新兴的、特殊的侵权行为,是指行为人的行为本身不构成专利直接侵权,但其促成或帮助他人直接侵犯了专利权。比如行为人的行为并不完全实现权利要求中所限定的每一项技术特征,而只是实现权利要求中的关键技术特征或分别实现权利要求中的技术特征;或者行为人为了获得高额的经济利润,不惜在明知他人准备实施专利直接侵权行为的情况下为他人提供设备或技术上的支持,甚至诱导、怂恿、唆使他人直接侵犯专利权。目前,我国在理论和立法中鲜有对它的研究和规定,且仅有的研究还产生了较大的争论。而美国,欧盟,日本,德国等许多国家和组织都在其专利法中对专利间接侵权做了规定。我国从1984年开始实施《专利法》,随着专利制度的发展,我国司法实践中已经出现了一些专利间接侵权案件纠纷。由于现行法律没有规定,在认定专利间接侵权行为及追究行为人民事责任时,遭遇到法律尴尬,不利于对专利权人实施充分有效的保护。所以,基于我国专利法的发展及现实需要,对专利间接侵权行为进行研究和规制,保护专利权人的利益、实现利益平衡,意义重大。本文用四个部分力图对专利间接侵权制度进行系统的研究,希望对我国建立专利间接侵权制度有所助益。文章第一部分从考察专利间接侵权制度的起源入手,进而界定其概念,概括专利间接侵权的特征,探讨了其与共同侵权理论的关系,并从多方面论证专利间接侵权的独立性;文章第二部分主要从行为要件,损害要件,主观要件和因果关系要件四个方面研究了专利间接侵权行为的构成,以阐述如何认定专利间接侵权行为,并分析了专利间接侵权的多种表现形式,以求对此种行为有更清晰的认识;文章第三部分探讨了司法实践在专利间接侵权民事责任承担方面适用的合理、合法并具可操作性的形式,并对专利间接侵权民事责任的抗辩进行了思考;文章第四部分对我国专利间接侵权的相关法律文件进行了检讨,并在此基础上分析了我国建立专利间接侵权制度的必要性,最后,通过与国外先进立法的比较对完善我国专利间接侵权制度提出自己的几点浅薄之见。更多还原

【Abstract】 Indirect patent infringement action is a kind of burgeoning and special patent infringement, means that the infringer himself doesn’t perform direct patent infringement, but his actions are likely to secure or help other people to perform direct patent infringement. Such as some infringers adopt very cunning and covert mathods to escape the punishment of law. Their products don’t contain all the technical features required by the patent claims, but contains all the key features or realize all the features respectively. For high economic returns, some infringers provide others with equipments or technical supports even though they know that direct patent infringement will occcur with their help.There are even some infringers lure, incite, suborn other people to perform direct patent infringement. In China, there are few researches and stipulations on indirect infringement action of patents both in academic and legislative levels, and these few researches and stipulations are still with big dispute. Many countries and international organizations like the United States, European Union, Japan, and Germany all have made similar stipulations in their patent laws. In China, it is still a short time since The Patent Law was implemented in China in 1984. However, with the development of China’s patent system, some indirect patent infringements have already occurred in Chinese judicature practices. Since there are no stipulation on patent contributory infringement in the patent law, the Chinese administrations and the courts met great difficulties when they deal with these cases, which is not helpful to protect the patentee’s legal rights. At present, the practice has already developed quicker than the legislation does. Aware of the needs of China’s Patent Law development and the patent protection reality, I believe that it is very important to research and stipulate on patent contributory infringement, which will surely benefit the patentees and help achieve balance of advantages.The article tries to research on the indirect infringement of patents systematically in four chapters, hope to help to perfect the protection of the patent rights in our country. The chapter one begins with the origin of the indirect patent infringement institution, then determines its definition,summarize its characters, discusses the relations between the common patent infringement and the indirect patent infringement, argues the independency of the indirect patent infingement versatilely; The chapter two mainly discusses the constitutes of the indirect patent infingement on the aspects of the bebaviour,demage,subective side, and the causality, in order to expound how to affirm the indirect patent infringement act, then analyzes the versatile forms of the indirect patent infringement, aims to get a clear recognition on it; The chapter three discusses the legality and feasibility of the existence of indirect patent infringement civil responsibility bearing in Chinese judicature practices, probes the pleas of the indirect patent infringement civil responsibility;The last chapter self-criticismes the present laws relationed to the indirect patent ingringement, points out the necessity of establishing a sound indirect patent infringement system on the basis of the above, at last puts forward some suggestions on how to improve the current indirect patent infringement system in China through the comparison with the foreign countries’ laws.更多还原
