侵犯植物新品种权犯罪的法律适用探析——以一起“侵犯植物新品种权刑事案”为例

Exploration and Analysis on Law Application for Crime of Offending the Right of New Plant Variety,Taking a Criminal Case of Offending the Right of New Varieties of Plant for Example

《植物新品种保护条例》第40条规定"假冒授权品种,情节严重,构成犯罪的,依法追究刑事责任",但关于侵犯植物新品种犯罪在《刑法》中却找不到与植物新品种权有关的定罪与量刑的依据。这使《植物新品种保护条例》所代表的植物新品种保护制度无法对侵犯植物新品种权犯罪进行有效的预防和严厉的惩罚。同时,也给司法实践中侵犯植物新品种犯罪的法律适用带来诸多困难。文章从一起侵犯植物新品种权刑事案出发,在剖析侵犯植物新品种权犯罪构成的基础上,探讨了侵犯植物新品种权犯罪的法律适用。

Although Item 40 of New Plant Variety Protection Ordinances regulates that ＂if counterfeiting authorized plant varieties, and the circumstances are serious enough to constitute a crime, that person will be prosecuted for criminal responsibility according to law＂, yet no consistent rules about the conviction and punishment to crime of offending the right of new varieties of plant can be found in Criminal Law. This makes the New Plant Variety Protection Ordinances malfunctionable in preventing and punishing crime of offending the right of new plant vari- ety. Meanwhile, it also brings a lot of trouble in the law application in judicial practice. So starting from a criminal case of offending the right of new varieties of plant, the law application in the crime of offending the right of new varieties of plant based on the analysis of the crime constitution of offending the right of new varieties of plant was explored in the paper.
