我国商标侵权惩罚性赔偿的适用问题研究

On the Application of Punitive Compensation For Trademark Infringement in China

惩罚性赔偿制度因其独特的功能在我国商标侵权案件中发挥着重要作用,然而司法实践中却较少适用,代之以大量法定赔偿。其主要原因在于:立法上构成要件模糊、基数幅度难以确定,司法上商标权利人举证困难和损失难以计算等。可以从明确构成要件、处理好法定赔偿与惩罚性赔偿关系、明确计算基础关系等方面完善商标侵权惩罚性赔偿制度。

The punitive compensation system plays an important role in trademark infringement cases in China due to its unique function,but it is rarely applied in judicial practice and replaced by a large amount of statutory compensation.The main reasons for this are:the legislative requirements are vague,the base range is difficult to determine,and the judicial burden of proof and loss calculation for trademark rights holders are difficult.The punitive compensation system for trademark infringement can be improved by clarifying the constituent elements,handling the relationship between statutory compensation and punitive compensation,and clarifying the calculation basis.
