当今囿于美国“长臂管辖”的《TRIPS协定》改革研究

The Reform of TRIPS Agreement Limited by the Current“Long-Arm Jurisdiction”of the United States

《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》(简称《TRIPS协定》)主要是WTO成员用以推动知识产权保护的国际多边机制,但实质上也是美国利用"长臂管辖"强化其知识产权保护和实施的政策工具。与知识产权有关的争端解决也是《TRIPS协定》改革的棘手问题。世易时移,《TRIPS协定》改革应摆脱"美国优先"所造成的进退两难的困境,把握国际社会对《TRIPS协定》"均衡性与灵活性"的改革关切,提高与知识产权有关的交叉报复机制的可操作性,遵循发展原则来实施知识产权强保护机制,从而为WTO规则体系的发展、完善及确保WTO活力提供一个可资借鉴的样板。

The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights(the TRIPS Agreement)is an international multilateral mechanism used by WTO members to promote intellectual property protection,but it is also essentially a policy tool for the United States to use“long-arm jurisdiction”to strengthen its intellectual property protection and enforcement.Dispute settlement related to intellectual property is also intractable for the reform of the TRIPS Agreement.Circumstances change with the passage of time anyway.The reform of the TRIPS Agreement should get rid of the dilemma caused by“America First”,grasp the international concern about the“balance and flexibility”of the TRIPS Agreement,improve the operability of the cross-retaliation mechanism related to intellectual property,and follow the development principles to implement the strong intellectual property protection mechanism,so as to provide a model for the development and improvement of WTO rule system and ensuring the vitality of WTO.
