摘要
专利许可费是专利权人因为其发明创造而应该得到的充分补偿,但是该补偿应该且仅应该限于覆盖专利发明本身的价值,不能扩展到采用了该专利技术的标准、其他标准或者该专利产品特征之外的其它特征所产生的价值。通过美国法院近年审理的几起涉及FRAND承诺的案例,着重关注美国法院是如何通过确定FRAND承诺下标准必要专利许可费费率来解决许可费的争议问题。这些案例中涉及的几项重要指导原则和方法对于法官、律师和专利许可谈判方今后就确定FRAND许可费及其费率基准具有重要的借鉴和参考价值。这些原则包括但不限于:反对专利劫持和许可费堆叠原则、合理的许可费分析原则、基于比例分配原则以及整体市场价值规则。
The patentee should be fully compensated for its invention and innovation. However, the compensation should be limited to the value of the patent invention itself, and cannot be extended to the value of the standard incorporating such patent, other standards, or other characteristics outside the patent product. This article provides an overview of several classical U.S. cases that have examined the FRAND commitments, with particular emphasis on how those courts have approached the issue of determining a FRAND royalty rate. Several key guidelines have be summarized from these eases, which is very helpful in aiding judges, litigators, and negotiators in assessing FRAND royalties in the future. These guidelines include but not limited to the following： hold-up and royalty stacking, requiring changes to the traditional reasonable royalty analysis, quantitative formula for determining FRAND rates based on proportionality principles, apportionment, and royalty base and the entire market value rule.
