中美贸易知识产权壁垒与应对“337调查”的制度路径

Sino-US Trade Barriers in Intellectual Property and the Institutional Path of Dealing with “337 Investigation”

美国基于“337条款”多次以保护美国知识产权为目的对中国企业进行调查并颁发临时性禁令,甚至波及整个行业的永久性禁令。337调查涉及诸多行业,并且越来越影响到高新技术企业海外发展策略。在具体的应对策略中,除了应当提高企业知识产权保护意识、增强企业自主创新能力、提高企业应诉水平等被动应对策略,中国还应该借鉴美国的337条款,完善中国知识产权制度,建立类似的知识产权保护模式及司法保护模式。

The United States has launched 337 investigations into China on several occasions,based on The U.S. Customs Act of 1930,article No. 337,to investigate and issue temporary bans on Chinese companies for the purpose of protecting U.S. intellectual property rights,even issue permanent bans on the entire industry. The 337 investigations cover a wide range of industries and increasingly affects the development strategies of High-tech enterprises abroad. In the specific coping strategies,in addition to improving the awareness of intellectual property protection,enhancing the independent innovation ability of enterprises,and improving the level of enterprise’s response,China should draw on the 337 articles of the United States to establish a perfect China’s intellectual property system and establish similar intellectual property protection model and judicial protection mode.
