贸易战背景下赴美技术并购的制度风险应对

Institutional Risk Response to Technology Mergers and Acquisitions in the US under the Background of Trade War

知识产权逐渐成为公司提升竞争力、国家提高综合国力的关键要素,跨国技术并购作为企业加快技术进步的方式之一备受青睐。中美贸易战下,美国政府指责中国强制技术转让、盗窃知识产权,并利用国家安全审查、301调查等制度加大阻碍我国在美技术并购,制度成为美国政府制约中国赴美技术并购的有力武器。降低中国企业赴美技术并购过程中涉及的国家安全审查、301调查、反垄断审查、知识产权、公司证券监管等制度的制度风险至关重要。从法理上看,各国政府有权在其属地管辖和属人管辖范围内制定本国法律,面对美国的制度风险,我国企业和政府需了解相关法律制度,依据不同的制度规范做好相应的风险防范。此外,跨国技术并购属于国际法问题,企业亦可以考虑利用国际司法维护权利。

Intellectual property rights has gradually become a key element for companies to improve their competitiveness and the country’s overall national strength.Transnational technology mergers and acquisitions are increasingly favored as one of the ways for companies to accelerate technological progress.Under the background of Trade War,the US government accused China of compelling technology transfer and stealing intellectual property rights,and used national security reviews and 301 investigations to increase obstacles to China’s technology mergers and acquisitions in the United States.The system became a powerful weapon for the US government to restrict China’s technology mergers and acquisitions in the United States.It is important to reduce the institutional risks of the national security review,301 investigation,antitrust review,intellectual property rights,and company securities supervision and other systems involved in the process of technology mergers and acquisitions of Chinese companies in the United States.From a legal point of view,governments of all countries have the right to formulate national laws within their territorial jurisdiction and personal jurisdiction.In the face of the institutional risks of the United States,Chinese enterprises and governments need to understand the relevant legal systems and do the corresponding risk prevention according to different institutional norms.In addition,cross-border technology mergers and acquisitions are also issues of international law,and enterprises can also consider using international justice to protect their rights.
