知识产权惩罚性赔偿制度司法适用现状审视与完善——基于672份裁判文书

Review and Improvement of the Judicial Application of Punitive Damages for Intellectual Property—Based on 672 Judgment Documents

知识产权惩罚性赔偿制度在司法适用中存在众多问题:适用对象泛化、适用条件弱化、侵权获利或者权利人受损巨大认定标准不一、公共利益内涵模糊。问题的解决需要严格把握惩罚性赔偿制度适用的构成要件,澄清主客观构成要件区分标准;明确惩罚性赔偿制度的功能与定位,将知识产权刑事案件立案追诉标准作为获利或受损巨大的标准之一;回归立法本意和立法原则,合理把握公共利益的内涵。

There are many problems in the judicial application of the punitive damages system of intellectual property rights: The generalization of the applicable object, the weakening of the applicable conditions, the different recognition standards for the infringement profit or the great damage to the obligee, and the vague connotation of public interest. To solve the problems, it is necessary to strictly grasp the constituent elements of the application of punitive damages system and clarify the distinction standards between subjective and objective constituent elements;clarify the function and orientation of the punitive damages system, and take the standards for filing and prosecuting intellectual property criminal cases as one of the standards for huge profits or losses;return to the original intention and principle of legislation, and reasonably grasp the connotation of public interest.
