中国特色知识产权案例指导制度中的核心争议探讨

An Exploration of the Major Disputes in the IP Case Guiding System with Chinese Characteristics

案例指导制度不仅是司法改革的重要举措,而且上升为了党"支持司法"的指导方针,在知识产权审判领域体现得更为明显。各界对建立知识产权案例指导制度已有共识,但在一些核心问题上仍然存在着争议,有必要予以厘清。知识产权案例指导制度的价值不仅在于追求法律适用标准的统一,更应当注重对法官主体性地位的尊重和司法治理能力的提升。知识产权案例指导制度不是"司法判例制度"。应当允许最高人民法院以外的其他法院发布指导性案例。案例的指导作用应当明确,对"拘束力"应当作出更准确的解释,对于有指导作用的"案例"不宜划分效力等级。

Case guiding system is not only important to the judicial reform,but also considered the guideline for the Party to promote the judicature,especially in the trial of IP-related cases.Albeit there is already consensus on establishing the IP case guiding system,the disputes over some key issues still wait to be clarified.The value of IP case guiding system not only lies in the pursuit of unified application of law,but also in respecting the judge’s subjective status and promoting judicial governance capacity.IP case guiding system is not the“judicial precedent system”.Other courts beyond the Supreme Court should also be allowed to issue guiding cases.The guiding role of the cases shall be specific,the“binding force”shall be articulated more precisely,and there should not be hierarchical division of the guiding cases in respect to their guiding effect.
