WTO中的知识产权协议与中国专利法的修改

WTO中的知识产权协议对中国专利立法和执法都产生了重大的影响,我国于2000年8月25日通过的经第二次修改后的专利法,吸纳和借鉴了WTO中的知识产权协议的有关规定,增加了对专利权人的许诺销售权;对专利的确权实行司法审查;引入了"即发侵权"理论;对"善意使用原则"作了修订,完善了对专利权的保护;明确了专利行政机关的地位,加强了执法力度;对侵犯专利权的赔偿数额做出了较详细的规定,便于司法审判机关实际操作;为及时有效地保护权利人利益,规定了临时保护措施.这些变化,都说明了中国的专利制度已经和国际专利制度基本趋同.

Trip Agreements of WTO and the Modification of China's Patent Law

Trip Agreements have a deep influence on the legislation as well as the execution of China's Patent Law. The second edition of China's Law, passed on August 25,2000, absorbs the relevant provisions of trip agreements, increases the patentee's "offering for sale", establishes the system of judicial review on patent granting,introduces the theory of "about to happen infringement", modifies the "using in due course" principle, perfects the protection on patent rights, clarifies the position of patent administrative organs, strengthens the forces of patent law execution, specifies the sum of indemnity on patent infringement so as to provide judicial organs with convenience, stipulates "provisional measures" in order to protect the interests of patentees timely and effectively. All these changes have shown that China's patent legal system has almost come into line with international patent legal systems.
