论知识产权侵权诉讼中合法来源抗辩的构成要件

On the Constructive Requirement of the Legitimate Source Defense in IP Litigation

作为《著作权法》《商标法》《专利法》等都予规定的不侵权抗辩手段,合法来源抗辩被广泛适用于上述知识产权侵权诉讼中。但是,其法律适用却呈现出严重不统一现象。建议以民法典知识产权编的论证与编纂为契机,将三大知识产权法中的合法来源抗辩条款予以提炼,统一规定于民法典知识产权编,将其构成要件统一为"侵权者系主观善意、侵权产品系合法取得、说明提供者信息",并对"不知道""合法取得""说明提供者信息"等术语作出解释,以统一法律适用,维护司法权威。

As non-infringement defense means stipulated by IP laws including Copyright Law, Trademark Law and Patent Law, legitimate source defense is widely applied in IP infringement disputes. However, the legal application of legitimate sources is far from unifi ed. The paper suggests that on the occasion of codifying the Civil Law Intellectual Property volume, a common legitimate sources defence clause from the three major IP laws should be generalized and stipulated in the Civil Law Intellectual Property volume. The unifi ed constructive requirements would be ＂the infringer is of good faith, the infringed products is legally acquired, and the information of providers is explained＂, meanwhile, interpreting the terminology such as ＂not know＂, ＂legally acquired＂, ＂the information of providers is explained＂, etc. Thus, the legal application is unifi ed and the judicial authority is maintained.
