从后共享单车时代看共享出行领域的知识产权保护

Study at the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in the Platform Economy from the Post-Share Bicycle Era

共享单车产业从2016年开始快速发展,2017年达到巅峰,随后进入调整期,研究全生命周期中共享单车产业与专利之间的关系,对于共享出行发展过程中的知识产权创造、保护和运用具有重要借鉴意义。本文尝试通过梳理共享单车行业融资企业的专利申请、许可、转让和诉讼,分析共享单车产业各阶段知识产权的特点,剖析知识产权创造、保护和运用过程中的问题,为共享出行领域的知识产权保护提供参考。研究结果表明,共享单车领域专利权的许可、转让相对较少,但是专利诉讼从“量”和“质”的角度来看呈快速增长态势。随着行业集中度的提高,诉讼标的和诉讼程序将会延长,对专利权的稳定性和保护范围将提出更高的要求。

The shared bicycle industry has entered a period of rapid development since 2016,reaching its peak in 2017,and then entering the adjustment period.Analyzing the relationship between the shared bicycle industry and patents in the whole life cycle,has important implications to create,apply and protect intellectual property rights in the process of researching platform economic development.This paper attempts to sort out the patent application,license,transfer and litigation of the financing industry of the shared bicycle industry,find out the characteristics of intellectual property at all stages of the shared bicycle industry,analyze the problems in the process of intellectual property creation and protection,and provide intellectual property protection reference for the shared travel field.The research results show that the license and transfer of patents in the field of shared bicycles are rare,but the patent litigation shows a rapid growth from the perspective of"quantity"and"quality".As the concentration of the industry increases,the subject matter of litigation and litigation procedures will be extended,and higher requirements will be imposed on the stability and scope of protection of patent rights.
