产业集群视野下石油化工行业知识产权诉讼问题研究

On Intellectual Property Litigation in the Petrochemical Industry From the Perspective of Industry Cluster

我国石油化工行业以专利申报为主要保护技术的时候,国外石油大公司已调整科技战略,利用知识产权诉讼规则,限制甚至扼杀竞争对手,抢占国际市场优势。我国石油化工企业,不熟悉国际诉讼规则,尤其是在利用和防御知识产权诉讼方面,缺少群体诉讼合力,没有形成产业集群的诉讼策略,致使许多企业被逐出市场,失去了发展空间。认识发挥石油化工产业集群合力意义,分析我国石油化工产业知识产权诉讼中,涉外被控侵权案件多、诉讼费用大、专业性强、集群诉讼少的特点,提出我国石油化工产业集群知识产权的积极诉讼策略、防御诉讼策略及借鉴与保护诉讼策略。
