“337条款”得名于美国的《1930年关税法》的第337节(美国法典为第1337节)。它历经了数次修订,其实施机制亦随之逐渐发展成为一种非常强有力的海关知识产权保护机制,主要用以保护美国的有效和可执行的专利权免遭进口产品的不法侵害。经过近八十年的动态发展演进,该制度体系已经由其自身的演化逻辑而形成了一定的路径依赖,并在一定程度上产生了制度上的锁定(Lock-in)效应。因此,可以判断以知识产权边境保护为己任的美国337条款实施机制将会继续存在和发展,甚至还有获得进一步加强的可能性。
Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930, which is named after the U.S. Customs Act, Section 337 (U.S. Code, Section 1337). It has undergone several amendments and its implementing mechanism has gradually evolved into a very powerful mechanism for the protection of customs intellectual property. The mechanism is mainly used to protect the effective and enforceable patent rights of the United States from the unlawful infringement of imported products. After nearly 80 years of dynamic development and evolution, the system has formed a certain path dependence by its own evolutionary logic, and to a certain extent, it has produced a system-based lock-in effect. Therefore, it can be judged that the implementation mechanism of the U.S. Section 337 on the protection of the border with intellectual property rights will continue to exist and develop, and even the possibility of further strengthening will be achieved.
