標準必要專利禁令救濟規則研究

Studies on Injunctive Relief for SEP

禁令是專利權人維護其合法權益的重要救濟措施,一旦法院認定專利侵權成立,原則上就應給予禁令救濟。然而,標準必要專利(Standard Essential Patent,以下簡稱“SEP”),權利人申請禁令救濟可能是以合法形式掩蓋非法目的,產生“專利劫持”現象。禁令威協型劫持的風險在權利密集的信息時代更加突出。

Injunction is a crucial remedy for patent holders to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.Injunctive relief shall in principle be granted once the court decides patent infringement has occurred.However,where a standardessential patent(SEP)holder applies for injunctive relief,it is likely that its illegal purpose may be disguised in a legal form,leading to"patent hold-up",2 The risks of hold-up under the threat of injunction are more prominent in the rightintensive information era.
