知识产权惩罚性赔偿与法定赔偿的协调适用

Coordinated Application of Punitive Damages for Intellectual Property Infringement and Legal Compensation

知识产权惩罚性赔偿与法定赔偿原本各司其职,前者侧重惩罚侵权、预防再犯,后者意在填平损失、兜底救济。然而实践中,法定赔偿适用泛化使得数量计算规则适用较难,间接影响惩罚性赔偿获取计算基数。为解决这一问题,可以适当划分惩罚性赔偿与法定赔偿的适用领域,合理限制法定赔偿的适用空间并剔除其间掺杂的惩罚性因素。与此同时,还可适度降低数量计算规则中的高精度期待,变通实际损失、侵权获利、许可费倍数的适用顺序要求,灵活叠加数量计算规则与法定赔偿所得结果作为总判赔额。由此,促成惩罚性赔偿有效落实、法定赔偿规范适用。

Intellectual property punitive damages and legal compensation originally performed their own duties.The former focuses on punishing infringements and preventing recidivism,while the latter is intended to fill losses and provide relief.However,in practice,the generalization of the application of Legal Compensationmakes it difficult to apply the quantity calculation rules,which indirectly affects the calculation base of punitive damages.In order to solve this problem,the applicable fields of punitive damages and legal compensation can be divided appropriately,and the applicable space of statutory damages can be reasonably limited and the punitive factors mixed in legal compensation can be removed.At the same time,it can also moderately reduce the high-precision expectation in the quantity calculation rules,change the application order of actual losses,infringement profits,and license fee multiples,and flexibly add the result of the quantity calculation rules and legal compensation as the total award.Finally,the effective application of punitive damages and statutory damages can be promoted.
