专利侵权中销售者合法来源抗辩研究

Research on Legal Source Defense of Seller in Patent Infringement

我国《专利法》虽然对权利人的权利进行了限制,但该限制的适用也存在限制,侵权抗辩的主体只能是使用者、许诺销售者、销售者,侵权主体主观上必须是善意的以及善意的侵权主体要承担侵权产品合法来源的举证责任。在实务中由于缺乏法律解释,专利侵权的抗辩法条存在适用困境,主要是销售者身份的证明责任、善意的证明责任、合法来源的证明责任的有无及责任方的确定。为解决上述问题,笔者将从相关案例的分析入手,以专利侵权抗辩的构成要件为落脚点,研究2020修订的《专利法》第七十七条中销售者相关证明责任的有无及所承担证明责任的内容。Although the Patent Law of our country restricts the right holder’s power, there are also limitations in the application of this limitation. The subject of infringement defense can only be the user, the promised seller, the seller, the infringing subject must be subjectively good faith, and the infringing subject should bear the burden of proof of the legal source of the infringing product. In practice, due to the lack of legal interpretation, there are difficulties in the application of the defense law of patent infringement, mainly the responsibility of the seller’s identity, good faith, legal source of the burden of proof and the responsible party. In order to solve the above problems, the author will start from the analysis of relevant cases, take the components of patent infringement defense as a starting point, and study whether the seller’s relevant burden of proof in Article 77 of the Patent Law revised in 2020 is not the content of the burden of proof.
