最高人民法院知识产权法庭年度报告（2019）(5)

　　Of the 142 administrative cases of second instance concluded by the IP Court, 126 cases were concluded with the decision of the first instance being upheld; 11 cases were concluded with the appeals being withdrawn; and 5 cases were concluded by reversal of decisions on appeal, with the reversal rate of 3.5%.

　　第一，涉发明专利、涉高新技术领域的案件多。三种专利类型中，最具技术含量的发明专利的案件数量，在无效宣告和驳回复审案件中均居于首位，体现了创新主体和相关公众对专利价值的重视。在技术领域方面，机械领域的案件总数最多，但在无效宣告案件中，电学领域与机械领域的案件数并列最多，其中不乏通信技术、计算机等高新技术领域的纠纷。化学领域的无效宣告案件虽总体数量不多，但普遍集中于医药、生物技术等重要产业领域。

　　(ii) There are many new issues with great difficulties. These issues include whether the arbitration clause in the agreement applies to the jurisdiction of monopoly agreement disputes; whether the place where a monopoly agreement is reached can be considered as the connection point for the jurisdiction of monopoly disputes; can the network platform provider be taken as the connection point for jurisdiction in cases where the vendor is not sued; whether the place where the act of infringement is committed claimed by the patent owner can be the connection point for jurisdiction in the disputes over confirmation of non-infringement, etc. These issues reflect that with the continuous development of technology, business models, and rights protection practices, the jurisdiction of technology-related IP cases has become increasingly complex and diverse.

　　法庭审理的管辖案件具有以下特点：

　　With judicial openness as the core, trial information is fully disclosed in accordance with the law. The IP Court utilizes four public platforms built by the Supreme People’s Court, i.e. the China Judicial Process Information Online, tingshen.court.gov.cn, China Judgments Online, and zxgk.court.gov.cn, to realize the full openness of the trial process. In terms of openness of court hearings, the IP Court adheres to the principles of openness and live broadcasting, and considers non-openness as an exception to the rule. Live court hearings can be viewed online in real time, and people can also log in to the tingshen.court.gov.cn website to view the court hearing videos after the court session. Major cases are tried with openness through whole process in order to promote justice with such openness. In terms of the openness of judgments, the IP Court promptly publishes judgments that should be disclosed according to law on China Judgments Online, and regularly counts and reports the status of documents that it has published online. As an effort to boost the public’s awareness of the IP Court’s adjudicative work, all of the adjudicative documents (either written judgments or decisions) as rendered by the IP Court contain the main points of such judgments or decisions, and concisely explain the legal issues involved in the case, plus the opinions and results of the adjudications, so that the relevant parties and the public can clearly understand the results and the basis of the judgments. By doing so, the IP Court gives a clear and rational interpretation of the law, enabling justice to be seen and explained clearly, and highlights judicial civilization and justice.

知识产权法庭年度报告

　　探索涉及同一专利民事与行政案件的协同审理机制。我国专利制度采用民事侵权程序与行政无效程序的二元分立体制，该体制在实践中产生的问题是：一方面，专利民事侵权程序往往受到行政无效程序的影响和制约，程序交叠造成维权周期延长和维权结果反复；另一方面，专利权人可能利用分立程序做出不同的权利要求解释，在无效程序中以限缩的保护范围争取获得确权，而在民事侵权诉讼中以扩大的保护范围获得侵权认定中的优势，从而“两头获利”。法庭充分利用审理权限集中的优势，在北京知识产权法院与其他地方法院的支持配合下，建立涉及同一专利民事与行政案件审理工作协同推进机制，实现权利效力判断与侵权判断两大诉讼程序和裁判标准的对接，从机制层面解决专利诉讼周期长、权利人就同一专利在不同案件中对权利要求解释不一致的问题。具体做法是，法庭汇总涉及相同专利的民事、行政案件信息，转递至专门受理专利行政诉讼的北京知识产权法院，协调案件审理进程、统一案件裁判标准。对于已进入二审阶段的此类案件，法庭在“前端梳理”识别的基础上，积极探索在现行法律框架下破解“二元分立”问题的审理机制。如乐金电子（天津）电器有限公司与厦门实正电子科技有限公司专利权无效行政纠纷、侵权纠纷两案，涉及同一专利，法庭组成相同合议庭，指派相同技术调查官，合并召开庭前会议，聚焦审理共同涉及的权利要求解释问题，并记载在裁判文书中，架起了专利行政确权诉讼与民事侵权诉讼之间的沟通桥梁，是实现专利侵权民事诉讼与确权行政诉讼裁判标准对接的一次有益探索。

　　(vi) The direction for increasing the judicial protection is clear. A good-faith litigation mechanism is adopted and in the event of refusal to perform an order on presenting documents, intentional damage to the product in preservation, etc., a presumption of fact against the actor is taken. Among the cases concluded, cases supporting the obligee’s claims according to law, account for 61.2%.

　　第三，司法态度较宽容。法庭审结446件管辖权异议二审案件，以撤改方式结案的仅为21件，占比4.7%。出于保护权利人依法行使诉讼权利，以及适度促进司法竞争的考虑，法庭对权利人选择案件管辖连结点持较为宽容的司法态度，尊重权利人对纠纷管辖法院的选择权。

　　（二）加强信息化建设，推动智能办案

　　(ii) The identification of technical facts is more difficult, and it is especially difficult to determine the “identity.”

　　第一，加强政治建设，提升队伍凝聚力。法庭坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，增强“四个意识”、坚定“四个自信”、做到“两个维护”，坚持党对人民法院工作的绝对领导，确保党中央决策部署在法庭得到不折不扣的贯彻落实，确保知识产权审判工作正确政治方向。落实新时代党的建设总要求，全面提升队伍素质能力，树立正确选人用人导向，弘扬正气，创先争优，充分调动各位干警的积极性、主动性和创造性，激励法庭干警在新时代新环境有新担当新作为。
