美国联邦巡回上诉法院的运作及对我国的启示

The Operation of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and Its Enlightenment to Chin

在20世纪80年代,美国就建立了知识产权专门法院——美国联邦巡回上诉法院,其以专业的法官和专门的事实查明机制审理知识产权民事和行政上诉案件。时至我国建立和完善知识产权专门审判体系之际,对美国联邦巡回上诉法院的设立背景、法官配置、技术事实查明机制及案件管辖等内容的考察,能够为我国进一步完善技术事实查明机制提供经验借鉴,为在知识产权法院中实行民事和行政案件“二合一”审判模式提供域外启示,为我国完善知识产权专门法院体系提供有益参考。

In the 1980s,the United States established a special intellectual property court—the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit,which uses professional judges and specialized fact-finding mechanisms to hear intellectual property civil and administrative appeals.When our country establishes and perfects the special intellectual property trial system,studying the background of the establishment of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Cir⁃cuit,the allocation of judges,the technical fact-finding mechanism and the jurisdiction of case,can provide experience for China to further improve the technical fact-finding mechanism,provide extra-territorial inspiration for the imple⁃mentation of the“Two-in-one”trial mode of civil and administrative cases in intellectual property courts,and provide a useful reference for China to improve the special intellectual property court system.
