论涉外侵犯知识产权法律适用中的意思自治原则

Party Autonomy in the Intellectual Property Infringement

《中华人民共和国涉外民事关系法律适用法》第50条之规定,一定程度上允许了侵犯知识产权领域的意思自治原则,而我国司法实践的做法并不符合现行立法的规定。随着知识产权私权属性的增加,意思自治原则在侵犯知识产权领域的扩张符合法律的发展规律,有助于法律的可预期性以及效率价值。但立法在扩张意思自治原则的同时,应当引入防止第三人利益影响和弱者保护原则的限制规定。我国司法实践目前应当遵守现行立法的规定,适用意思自治原则时不应将"侵权责任"代替侵犯知识产权的所有事项。

Article 50 of The Law of the Application of Law for Foreign-related Civil Relations of the People＇s Republic of China provides a limited party autonomy in the area of intellectual property i-ffringement, but the judicial practice is inconsistent with the statute. As the private nature of intel- lectual property increases, party autonomy in IP infringement has tendency of expansion, which con- tributes to the foreseeability and efficiency value of law. The legislation should also adopt third party effect and protection of weaker party mechanism to limit party autonomy. The judicial authority shouht comply with the eurrent statute, and awfid replacing all the issues with＂ liability＂ in IP infringement.
