专利侵权诉讼中的权利滥用

Abuse of Rights in Patent Infringement Litigation

专利技术会给权利人及相关主体带来实际的或潜在的经济利益或竞争优势,因而成为市场主体争夺的目标。当今社会专利侵权诉讼频发,在诉讼过程中当事人为了追求其利益的最大化,不可避免地存在滥用其权利的可能性,既包括对专利侵权诉讼的滥用,也包括对诉讼中程序权利的滥用。无论是从完善专利制度的角度考虑,还是从促进经济发展的角度考虑,都不能轻视专利侵权诉讼中的权利滥用问题,应从法律上进行有效规制。

The patent technology may bring real and potential economic benefits to the obligee and the related people. That is why it becomes the aim that all participants in the market contest for. In the present age, the patent infringement litigations take place very frequently, which include the abuse of litigation and the abuse of specific procedural devices. The problem of rights abuse in the patent infringement litigations should not be neglected, whether to make the patent system perfect or to accelerate the development of the economy. We should take measures from both substantial law and procedural law to make effective restrictions on that kind of abuse.
