专利侵权民事诉讼程序的中止——坦萨中国公司与泰安现代公司等侵害发明专利权案

On the Procedure Suspension in the Civil Litigation of Patent Infringement

专利侵权民事诉讼因专利无效宣告行政决定及其后续司法审查而中止审理程序,以避免司法权和行政权的冲突,但严重影响审判效率。为此慎裁中止诉讼,建立了"先行裁驳、另行起诉"制度,但都不能从根本上解决问题,必须从相关程序衔接上寻求突破。

In order to avoid the conflict between judicial power and administrative power,the administrative decision of patent invalidation and its follow-up judicial review suspend the trial procedure in civil litigation of patent infringement,but it seriously affects the effi ciency of the trial.For this reason,we should cautiously adjudicate the suspension of litigation and establish the system of"fi rst dismiss the lawsuit,then bring it about",but we can not solve the problem fundamentally.We must seek breakthroughs from the connection of relevant procedures.
