《TRIPS协定》对知识产权行政保护的规定及其启示

Study on the Provisions of the Administrative Protection System for Intellectual Property in TRIPS Agreement and the Enlightenment to China

《专利法》第四次修改草案突出强化专利行政保护力度,引发了学界对历来存在"去留之争"的知识产权行政保护制度的关注。反对者的一个重要理由就是《TRIPS协定》对知识产权行政保护的规定与态度不明确。经研究发现:《TRIPS协定》对该制度在整体上持积极肯定的"扬弃"态度;我国取消或者削弱知识产权行政保护制度应当受到《TRIPS协定》"不得减损已有知识产权保护水平"原则的制约;行政查处可成为目前我国知识产权行政保护制度的重心;《专利法》第四次修改草案增加行政裁决侵权赔偿纠纷的职能欠妥当。

The fourth draft of Patent Law strengthened the administrative protection system for patent, which cause intellectual property circle pays close attention to the administration protection system for intellectual property which has been a controversial issue from its beginning to now. One of the important reasons against this system is that it can＇t be surely found in TRIPS agreement. Based on the study on TRIPS, some conclusions can be discovered. They are as follows： the basic attitude of TRIPS towards the administrative protection system for IP is sublation; the cancellation or weakness of the administrative protection system for IP in China should be restricted by TRIPS; the administrative sanction ought to be the focus of the administrative protection system for IP in China at present; it is unreasonable for the administrative adjudication in compensation dispute to be provided in the fourth draft of Patent Law.
