开放式创新视域下限制停止侵害请求权合理性的政策考量——以PAE的应对为中心

On Policy Considerations Concerning the Rationality in Restricting Claim for Cessation of Infringement from the Perspective of Open Innovation: Focusing on the Responses to PAE

开放式创新打破了封闭式创新的组织边界,是一种新的创新趋势和政策选择。从区分事前交易与事后交易的角度看,PAE的寻租活动是事后交易的产物,不伴随技术转移,对开放式创新无益。现行专利制度下停止侵害请求权的当然适用,助长了PAE的专利劫持行为,扭曲了技术市场中的竞争。从修复专利市场功能的角度出发,若对一部分事后交易限制停止侵害请求权的适用,要从政策层面回应四方面顾虑:是否会导致创新激励的低下;是否会助长搭便车行为;政府的介入是否会影响到市场的效率;以及是否会影响到我国企业的国际竞争力。

Open innovation breaks the organizational boundaries of close innovation, becoming a new innovation trend and policy choice. From the perspective of distinguishing between ex ante transactions and ex post transactions, the rent-seeking activities of PAE are the results of ex post transactions, which are not accompanied by technology transfer and therefore are not benefi cial to open innovation. The automatic application of the injunction to stop infringement under the current patent system has deepened PAE’s patent hijacking and distorted competition in technology market. From the perspective of repairing the function of patent market, four policy-making concerns should be considered, provided some ex post transactions are restricted to claim for cessation of infringement, namely, whether it will lead to low innovation incentives;whether it will encourage free-riding behavior;whether the government intervention will affect market effi ciency;and whether it will affect the international competitiveness of Chinese companies.
