标准必要专利的全球许可费率管辖权争夺及其应对路径研究

Study on the Jurisdictional Contention of Global Licensing Rate for Standard Essential Patents and its Countermeasures

当前,在标准化工作不断推进和标准必要专利价值持续飙升的背景下,ICT标准必要专利纠纷频繁发生,成为国家竞逐战略高地、企业争夺技术主导权的重要战场。而英国最高法院于2020年8月26日就"Unwired Planet诉华为"案、"Conversant诉华为和中兴"案发布的判决,更是拉开了标准必要专利全球许可费率纠纷管辖权争夺的序幕,以致多国纷纷效仿并反制。这进一步加剧了"法院选择"和"管辖权争夺"现象,造成国际司法秩序的混乱与对抗。因此,为了维护国际司法的协调运行与创新产业的健康发展,实现技术开发和许可系统的可预测性并降低交易成本,应建立非政府组织性质的国际仲裁机构,以对标准必要专利的全球许可费率纠纷进行裁决,对国际专利执法进行有效整合。

At present,under the background of continuous development of standardization and the soaring value of standard essential patents,the disputes over standards essential patents for ICT occur frequently,which became an important battlefield for countries to compete for the strategic heights and for enterprises to compete for technological dominance.However,the rulings issued by the Supreme Court of the United Kingdom on August 26,2020 in the“Unwired v Huawei”and“Conversant v Huawei and ZTE”cases opened the prelude to the jurisdictional contention of the global licensing rate dispute of the standard essential patent.Many countries followed suit and prompted similar rulings.It further aggravates the problem of "court selection" and "jurisdictional scramble",resulting in chaos and confrontation of the international judicial order.Therefore,in order to maintain the coordination and operation of international justice and the healthy development of innovative industries,realize the predictability of technology development and licensing system and reduce transaction cost,an international arbitration body of non-governmental organizations should be established to adjudicate disputes over global licensing rates for standard essential patents,and effectively integrate international patent enforcement.
