本来专利侵权诉讼的中心问题是专利的有效性,美国专利行使权的不公平行为抗辩则把焦点转向了专利发明人或者申请人专利的申请阶段。在向专利商标局专利申请期间,权利人违反了信息披露的诚信义务,专利在后来的侵权诉讼中实际上得不到保护。现行司法实践中有关此类诚信义务认定的标准还不统一,导致了不公平行为专利侵权抗辩案件判决的混乱。可以通过立法来统一法院和专利局判断不公平行为的标准,修改有关不公平行为主观要件的证明标准,细化对不公平行为的救济。
Originally, the central issue of patent infringement litigation was the validity of the patent. The unfair defense of US patent right to exercise shifted the focus to the patent application stage of the inventor or applicant. During the patent application to the Patent and Trademark Office, the obligee violated the obligation of good faith in information disclosure and the patent was virtually unprotected in subsequent infringement proceedings. The current judicial practice in recognition of such obligations of the standard is not uniform, leading to unfair acts of patent infringement cases of confusion judgments. Legislation can be used to unify the standards of courts and patent offices in judging unfair behavior, to revise the standards of proof on the subjective elements of injustice and to refine relief for unfair behavior.
