日本技术事实查明机制对我国的启示——基于日本《民事诉讼法》第92条的改正

Enlightenment of Japan’s Technical Fact Finding Mechanism to China: Based on the Amendment of Article 92 of Japan’s Civil Procedure Law

为了响应日本在进入平成时代提出的知识财产立国战略,并回应产业界进一步对知识产权法律体系进行改革的强烈呼吁,日本司法制度改革委员会对相关法律进行了大幅的调整。在这一改革中,日本充分在已有的法律工作机制基础之上结合各知识产权先进国的制度,建立了基于法院调查官为内部人力基础,专门委员、鉴定制度为外部智力辅助,以技术说明会作为法庭调查程序的技术事实查明机制,并通过《民事诉讼法》第92条第2、3、4款及相关法律进行了明确。研究这一机制逐步构建的过程,对于我国技术事实查明相关机制的参与人员体系的性质构成、法院技术事实调查程序的确立以及提高知识产权审判效率及水平、更好地保护当事人权利,具有极大意义。

In response to Japan's strategy in the era of Hiwa to found an intellectual property country,and the strong appeal of the Japanese industry to further reform the intellectual property legal system,the Judicial Reform Commission of Japan had made substantial adjustments to relevant Japanese laws.In this reform,on the basis of the existing legal mechanism,Japan fully combined the systems of the advanced countries in intellectual property rights’protection.It established the internal human resources groundwork on the basis of court investigators,built the specialized members and appraisal system as the external intelligence assistance,adopted the technical explanation meeting as the technical fact finding mechanism of the court investigation procedure,and specified the related rules through the paragraph 2,3,4,Article 92 of the Civil Procedure Law and other relevant laws.By studying the process of building this mechanism step by step,it is of great significance for our country to refine the system of ascertaining technical facts,the nature and composition of the participant system,as well as the establishment of the court's procedure of investigating technical facts,improve the efficiency and level of intellectual property trial,and better the rights’protection of the parties concerned.
