论专利侵权赔偿损失的归责原则

专利授权公告不应具有使公众应知的法律效力。专利侵权赔偿适用一般过错推定说对行为人显失公平,专利侵权纠纷中也不存在特殊过错推定说的法定事由。因此,过错推定责任原则不能作为专利侵权赔偿损失的一般归责原则。专利侵权属于一种特殊侵权,在归责上不应适用过错责任原则。我国应基于无过错责任原则的宗旨、专利权的排他权性及专利侵权判定的复杂性,并借鉴国际公约和国外立法例,区分专利侵权产品首次销售前后的不同侵权行为,分别适用无过错责任原则或过错推定责任原则。

A Discussion on the Doctrine of Liability Fixation in Patent Infringement

The patent authorization proclamation is not supposed to carry the legal effect of informing the public.Applying the presumption of general fault doctrine to the compensation for patent infringement is quite unfair to the actors.In addition,there are no statutory causes for the presumption of particular fault doctrine in the patent infringement disputes.Therefore,the presumption of fault doctrine cannot be the general principle of compensation for patent infringement.Moreover,patent infringement is a special infringement,so no-fault liability principle and fault presumption liability are supposed to be applied to patent infringement in our country.China should base on the aim of no-fault liability principle,the characteristic of exclusion of patent right and the complexity of patent infringement judgment,borrow international treaties and foreign legislations,and distinguish infringing acts before and after the initial sale of patent-infringing products.
