【摘要】：公司的专利侵权行为往往是公司董事、高级管理人员直接参与实施或命令下属实施的。倘若公司董事、高级管理人员的行为构成专利侵权且系非职务行为,按照中国、美国的法律都应对被侵权人承担个人责任。倘若公司董事、高级管理人员的行为属于职务行为,如果属于滥用公司人格导致刺破公司面纱的,美国法院会让其对公司专利侵权行为承担直接侵权责任;如果公司董事、高级管理人员指示、命令、授权下属实施专利侵权行为的,美国法院可让其承担引诱侵权或辅助侵权责任。我国当前应实行强化公司董事、高级管理人员责任的政策,在构成刺破公司面纱时,董事、高级管理人员为公司专利侵权行为承担个人责任;董事、高级管理人员知道被侵权专利的存在、知道公司行为会侵犯专利权而故意指示、授权下属实施专利侵权行为的,应依据共同侵权制度与公司承担连带责任。
[Abstract]:The patent infringement of a company is often committed by a director of the company, a senior manager, who is directly involved in the execution or order of a subordinate. If the act of the director of the company, the senior manager, constitutes patent infringement and is a non-official act, according to China, The laws of the United States shall bear personal responsibility for the infringed person. If the acts of directors and senior managers of a company belong to an act of duty, if the act of abuse of corporate personality results in the piercing of the corporate veil, A US court will hold it liable for direct infringement of a company's patent; if the company's directors and senior management direct, order, and authorize its subordinates to commit patent infringement, The United States courts may make them liable for inducement or auxiliary tort. At present, our country should implement the policy of strengthening the liability of directors and senior managers of companies, so that when the company veil is pierced, the directors, The senior management shall bear personal liability for the patent infringement of the company; if the directors or senior managers know the existence of the infringed patent and know that the company acts will infringe upon the patent right, they deliberately instruct and authorize their subordinates to carry out the patent infringement, Joint liability shall be assumed with the company in accordance with the joint tort system.
