【摘要】：美国的专利蟑螂问题非常严峻。美国认为专利蟑螂对其创新与经济造成的损失远大于给发明人的回报。滥行诉讼是对专利蟑螂的主要诟病。2014年以来,美国法院适用了较宽松的费用移转标准,国会努力修改费用移转规则,一些州实施了保证金及惩罚性赔偿规则。美国实践反映其转向主、客观独立标准,严惩恶意诉讼以及努力恢复使用者与专利权人利益平衡。专利蟑螂在我国爆发的风险不断增大。但是,我国《专利法》仅赋予专利权人合理开支求偿权,对滥诉者无赔偿规定。司法实践存在依据不足、标准不一及标准过严问题。我国宜适当吸取美国经验教训,合理设置恶意诉讼的赔偿及保证金规则,防治专利蟑螂滥用诉权,促使专利运营良性发展。
[Abstract]:The problem of patented cockroaches in the United States is serious.The United States believes that patented cockroaches are far more costly to innovation and the economy than they are to inventors.Indiscriminate litigation is a major criticism of patented cockroaches. Since 2014, U.S. courts have applied looser fee transfer standards, Congress has sought to revise fee transfer rules, and some states have imposed margin and punitive damages.American practice reflects its shift to subjectivity, objective and independent standards, severe punishment of malicious litigation and efforts to restore the balance of interests between users and patentees.The risk of a patent cockroach outbreak in China is increasing.However, the Patent Law of our country only grants the patentee the right to claim reasonable expenses, and there is no provision for compensation to the patentee.There is insufficient basis, different standards and too strict standards in judicial practice.In our country, we should draw lessons from American experience, set up the rules of compensation and deposit of malicious lawsuit reasonably, prevent patent cockroaches from abusing their right of action, and promote the benign development of patent operation.
