标准必要专利许可引发垄断纠纷的可仲裁性

On the Arbitrability of Monopoly Disputes Caused by the Licensing of Standard Essential Patents

标准必要专利许可合同引发的垄断纠纷较为复杂,是否具有可仲裁性也存在较大争议,主要体现为以下几个方面:首先,标准必要专利是私权,却具有社会公共属性;其次,标准必要专利权人合法拥有垄断力量,却不必然构成市场支配地位;最后,在标准必要专利许可合同中,许可费确认错综复杂。然而,随着可仲裁范围呈扩大趋势,通过仲裁手段解决的争议越来越多,标准必要专利许可引发的垄断纠纷应当具有可仲裁性。对仲裁裁决结果进行司法审查具有必要性,但在实行实质性审查的同时,也要坚持谦抑性原则。

The monopoly disputes arising from standard-essential patent licensing contracts are complex,and whether they are arbitrable is also controversial,mainly in the following aspects:firstly,a standard-essential patent is a private right but has social public attributes;secondly,a standard-essential patent owner legally possesses monopoly power but does not necessarily constitute a dominant position in the market;finally,in a standard-essential patent licensing contract,the licence fee is confirmed Lastly,the recognition of licence fees in standard-essential patent licensing contracts is complex.However,as the scope of arbitrability tends to expand and more and more disputes are resolved through arbitration,monopoly disputes arising from standard-essential patent licensing should be arbitrable.Judicial review of the outcome of arbitral awards is necessary,but the principle of modesty should be upheld while applying substantive review.
