技术标准化中知识产权披露机制研究——以3G产业为背景

A Study on the IPR Disclosure Mechanism in Technical Standardization—Using 3G Industry as Background

披露机制,对于确保以移动通信技术标准为平台的利益参与机制的良性运转,至关重要。对于后续的许可谈判和标准实施的顺利进行,披露机制起着前提性的关键作用。如果披露机制缺位,将导致标准的实施陷入资源利用效率低下的反公有状态。对于标准制定过程,披露机制的缺位会导致失去采用较低成本的可替代方案的机会,使标准的总实施成本上升,并会导致标准运营在专利埋伏面前束手就擒。为进一步促进我国通信产业的发展,避免出现ICT技术标准实施过程中反公有的困境和专利埋伏,中国应该建立健全知识产权披露机制及相关法律制度。

IPR Disclosure mechanism is critical to the balance of conflicting interests in the mobile communication technical standards.To the subsequent licensing negotiations and successful implementation of standards,the disclosure mechanism also plays a key role.Lack of disclosure mechanism might cause the implementation of standards to be bogged down into the inefficient resource usage of anti-commons state.For the standard setting process,lack of disclosure mechanism will result in the lost of opportunities to find alternative and low-cost solutions in place of patented ones,i.e.,elevated total implementation cost and leave the adoption of standards vulnerable to patent ambushes.To further promote the fast and efficient development of China's communication industry and avoid anti-commons predicament and patent ambushes,China should establish effective IPR disclosure mechanism in SSOs and related legal rules.
