我国立功减刑制度中发明创造与技术革新的认定研究

Study on Identifi cation of Inventions and Technological Innovation in China's Meritorious Commutation System

近年来,监狱服刑人员因发明创造与技术革新申请立功减刑的数量增多,但由于当前我国关于具体认定发明创造与技术革新构成立功的法律标准和司法解释匮乏,该类减刑认定在司法实践中存在诸多随意和不确定性。为此,就如何明确发明创造与重大技术革新法律内涵、如何评价发明创造与技术革新价值及对应的立功等级、如何辨析技术立功认定中的两个认识模糊问题展开研究,以期为完善我国立功减刑制度提供建议与参考。

In recent years, increasing prisoners apply for meritorious commutation based on the grounds of inventions and technological innovation. However, there exists arbitrariness and uncertainty in judicial practice of such identification, due to the fact that there is lack of specific identification legal standard and judicial interpretations in regards to the constitution of meritorious of inventions and technological innovation. Therefore, this article studies on several issues including the definition of legal connotation of inventions and important technological innovation, the evaluation of the value and the corresponding meritorious level of inventions and technological innovation, the distinction of two ambiguities in the identification of meritorious commutation based on the grounds of inventions and technological innovation, in order to provide suggestion and reference for perfecting meritorious commutation system in China.
