警告函引發的確認不侵權糾紛及其損害賠償初探

Tentative Study on Dispute over Determination of Non-infringement Arising from Warning Letter and Damages Involved Thereof

双环股份公司与本田株式会社的专利纠纷案件被评为最高人民法院2015年十大民事行政纠纷案件之一。（2014）民三终字第7号民事判决书对判断知识产权权利人发送侵权警告的行为是正当维权行为还是不正当竞争行为，以及权利入承担发送警告函导致的损害後果的标准等问题进行了明确，该案对於统一该领域的裁判尺度具有标杆意义。笔者以该案为例，对确认不侵权及其引发的损害赔偿进行初步探讨。

Shuanghuan Co. Ltd. v. Honda Corporation has been selected as one of top ten civil administrative disputes of 2015 by the Supreme People＇s Court. The Civil Judgment No. Minsanzhongzi 7/2014 clarifies the issues as to whether the sending of warning letters of infringement by IPR hold- ers is a proper exercise of right or an unfair competition act, and the standards of damages for which the IPR holders shall be liable as a result of the sending of warning letters. That case serves as a landmark for the unification of the judging criteria in the said field involved. By taking that case as an example, the writer will conduct a tentative study on determination of non-infringement and resulting damages thus caused.
