中国视角下对TPP/CPTPP知识产权边境保护条款的考量及相应建议

The Consideration of TPP/CPTPP IPR Border Protection Provisions and The Corresponding Suggestions from China's Perspective

TPP/CPTPP知识产权边境保护条款已发展为知识产权边境保护的国际性新标准。该标准中关于侵权行为的种类、边境保护所适用的通关程序范围等规则会对我国货物出口贸易产生一定的障碍,而我国避免此类标准所造成的壁垒的根本方法在于依照当前的国内知识产权边境保护立法进行严格执法,根治假货出口问题。同时,经比较可知,我国知识产权边境保护水平总体已与TPP/CPTPP标准相类,而远高于《TRIPS协议》的要求。因此,我国可以更开放积极的心态来看待TPP/CPTPP所体现高标准国际趋势,并选择体现了国际发展趋势并有利于我国知识产权强国战略的"高标准"边境保护国际规则进行国内化,对我国知识产权边境保护制度进行精确微调,并且借鉴TPP/CPTPP标准,形成我国对外谈判的知识产权边境保护标准条款,形成我国在此领域中的话语体系。

The IPR border protection provisions stipulated in the TPP/CPTPP(hereinafter referred to as“the TPP/CPTPP IPR border protection provisions”)have developed as a new set of international standards related to the IPR border protection which can result in the obstacles to China’s exportation since the TPP/CPTPP IPR border protection provisions expand the scope of the infringement and the customs clearance procedures subjected to the border enforcement.The fundamental methods to overcome the barriers caused by the TPP/CPTPP IPR border protection provisions are to strictly implement the current IPR border protection rules of China and thoroughly address the issue of counterfeit goods exportation.Meanwhile,though the comparison of the TPP/CPTPP provisions and China’s rules related to the IPR border protection,it is found that China’s general border protection level is consistent to the one embodied in the TPP/CPTPP provisions and surpasses the one contained in TRIPS.Hence,China can hold a more open,confident and inclusive attitude to the so called“high standards”,can choose and indigenize some TPP/CPTPP IPR border protection provisions which represent the international trend and will benefit the realization of the China’s IPR development policy.Additionally,China can make reference to the TPP/CPTPP provisions to draft and form China’s own standard terms of IPR border protection,which could become the corresponding system of China’s voice after certain period of evolution and internationalization,for the negotiation of the relevant treaties and agreements.
