知识产权确认不侵权之诉受理制度研究——从一条司法解释说开去

A Study of the Prosecution System of the Non-infringement Action of Intellectual Property——A Discussion from a Judicial Interpretation

从制度价值上说,知识产权确认不侵权之诉为知识产权义务主体提供了一种有效限制知识产权滥用的自我救济方式;传统的民事案件受理条件已经不能适应确认不侵权诉讼案件,而司法解释所界定的案件受理条件又过于苛刻,且存在明显漏洞;在制度应用中,以确认之诉性质明确案由,以原告就被告原则确定地域管辖,以效率原则改进反诉制度,以诉权平等原则对待侵权之诉与不侵权之诉的合并。

The non-infringement action of intellectual property provides obligor with a self-relief method which can effectively limit the abuse of intellectual property rights.The traditional prosecution conditions in civil cases can not be applied to non-infringement litigation.On the other hand,the judicial interpretations which define the prosecution conditions are too rigid for a plaintiff.Besides,there are obviously loopholes.In the application system,we should determine the cause of action under the nature of the case,determine the terrestrial jurisdiction in accordance with the principle of the domicile of the defendant,improve the counterclaim system according to the principle of efficiency,and deal with the merger of tort and non-infringement litigation under the principle of equality.
