【摘要】 知识产权执法,是知识产权执法保护的简称,通常指知识产权保护的执法制度和执法程序,也称知识产权的执法机制。随着科学技术的不断进步,跨国技术交流日益频繁,大量国际知识产权条约推动了各国知识产权实体保护标准的趋同,与此同时,知识产权执法的重要性开始凸显,逐步纳入国际条约的关注视野。对国际多边条约知识产权执法的研究不仅具有重要的理论意义,也具有重要的实践的意义。其理论意义在于:首先,剖析了知识产权的权利属性,深入分析了知识产权与人权、知识产权与公共利益的关系,进而从知识产权正义论的角度,对国际多边条约调整知识产权执法事项的合理性和必要性进行考察。其次,扩展了传统国际条约义务的内涵和外延。第三,深化了国家执法主权的自我限制和外部监督。最后,提出了国际多边条约对知识产权执法问题进行规定时,应当遵守的“均衡保护”、“执法与实体”保护相协调的理念。而其实践意义在于:此命题直接关系到我国的知识产权执法机制的建构以及今后在WTO争端解决机制下相关知识产权执法争端的预防和应对,具有很强的实践性和可操作性:一方面,对现有多边条约中的知识产权执法条款的发展脉络的分析和梳理,有利于正确把握国际条约规定知识产权执法事项的发展方向和趋势,从而为将来多边知识产权条约的发展做出准确预测;另一方面,对现有多边条约中的知识产权执法执法条款具体内容的释义性分析,有利于学习和借鉴其中的科学规定,警惕其不良倾向,为合理构建我国的知识产权执法机制提供有益借鉴。事实上,国内对国际知识产权条约中的执法条款进行解释性研究的并不鲜见,但从理论层面对其合理性进行解释,并在此基础上对国际条约对知识产权执法调整的合理范围进行探讨的却不多。而本文的一个核心问题就在于对国际多边条约规定知识产权执法标准的合理性论证,并在此基础上对国际条约涉入国内执法事项的正当程度和范围进行界定。这不仅是本文的理论根基,也直接决定了对现有知识产权条约中的执法性规定的义务性质和义务范围的认定,从而决定了我国应对此类条约义务的科学态度。而这也恰是本文的难点所在。传统国际法理论认为,知识产权执法属于严格国内事项,直接关系到国家执法主权,如何在国家主权与国际条约义务约束之间寻求一种“微妙的”平衡,这本身就需要深厚的理论基础和宏观的全局思想;同时,知识产权是兼具私权属性与公共利益功能的特殊垄断性权利,知识产权执法和救济必然涉及国家公权力介入,也必然要对知识产权权利的私人激励性与公共福利性进行适当的平衡,特别是当这种平衡还必须接受来自本国之外的国际因素影响时,如何在尽量坚持本国知识产权政策价值取向的同时,规避相关的条约责任,这无论是在立法态度上还是立法技术上都需要相当的圆通性和灵活度。本文从知识产权执法的概念、特征和功能入手,以知识产权执法标准的国际多边条约调整为主线。首先从理论上探讨其对国际法传统理论和国际条约法基本认识的突破及其历史必然性,同时结合知识产权本身所兼具的私权激励性与公共福利性的双重属性,分析其与传统意义上的“人权保护”的差异及由此所决定的国际保护手段的特殊性,并对其涉入一国国内执法主权的程度、范围和方式所应当遵守的基本原则和必要限制进行了探讨,着重解决应然领域的“是否应当”以及“如何”将知识产权执法在国际多边条约中作出规定;接着,以历史和实证的眼光,考察目前已有的识产权国际条约中规定国内执法义务的历史背景和利益需求,并对所涉条款,特别是TRIPS第三部分执法条款的目的、宗旨、内容进行全面考察,结合国际条约解释的一般规则,从迄今为止WTO争端解决机制下涉及TRIPS执法条款的所有案例中总结出争端解决机构的基本态度,辅助理解相关执法条款的准确含义,并具体分析此类争议在WTO争端解决机制下的具体运作程序和解决途径。最后,对照我国现有知识产权执法机制的优势和不足,确立我国面临此类条约的科学态度,完善我国的立法、司法、行政及海关程序,并为我国在WTO争端解决机制下应对此类争议做好充分的法律和技术准备。本文共五章,约十八万字,前三章偏重理论,后两章偏重实践,第三章既是前两章理论分析的结论和落脚点,也是后两章实践考察的前提和标尺,起到承上启下的重要作用。各章的主要内容分别为:第一章为知识产权执法及其国际条约保护概述。主要介绍了知识产权执法的概念、特征、功能,并简单介绍了国际多边条约以《TRIPS协定》为分界点,对知识产权执法标准从基本不作规定到疏密有致的体系化安排,而后在发达国家和发展中国家的利益博弈中逐步分化为两种不同发展趋势的基本脉络。第二章为知识产权执法国际多边条约调整的理论依据。从知识产权本身的特殊权利属性、程序正义的应有之意、全球化背景下国际法人本化发展趋势的必然结果、条约必须遵守原则的内在要求四个方面论证了知识产权执法事项通过国际多边条约予以规定的合理性。第三章为国际多边条约中的知识产权执法规定对传统国际法理论的挑战及合理构建。主要分析了国际多边条约规定知识产权执法标准对国家执法主权的限制的深入和对传统国际条约义务内涵和外延的扩展,以此为基础,归纳出国际多边条约中的知识产权执法性规定应当遵循的尊重差异、均衡保护、整体机制可行以及程序正义等基本原则,以及与知识产权实体权利规定协调配合,确立合理的解释权限和规则等必要限制。第四章为各主要多边条约知识产权执法条款解析。分阶段对《TRIPS协定》之前的知识产权多边条约《、TRIPS协定》本身以及以ACTA为代表的TRIPS-plus条约中有关知识产权执法的规定,结合经典案例进行了解析和评价。其中,对《TRIPS协定》执法条款的分析是本章的重点内容,除了介绍《TRIPS协定》执法条款的基本框架和具体要求外,还分析了《TRIPS协定》执法条款与《TRIPS协定》其它条款、与WTO其他基本原则和机制的关系,并通过具体案例探析了WTO争端解决专家小组和上诉机构对执法条款的态度。第五章为国际多边条约知识产权执法标准对我国的影响及对策。主要介绍了我国知识产权执法的现状及特征,分析了现有国际多边条约中的知识产权执法性规定,即《TRIPS协定》执法条款、发达国家推动的TRIPS-plus执法以及发展中国家倡导知识产权保护多元化目标体系对我国的不同影响。结合我国的国内外实际,从对内与对外两个方面为我国合理应对知识产权执法国际标准,科学构建符合我国国情的知识产权执法体制提出了建议。

【Abstract】 Enforcement of intellectual property rights, abbreviation for the protection of theenforcement of IPRs, usually refers to the enforcement systems, procedures andremedies for the protection of IPRs, also known as the enforcement mechanism ofIPRs.With the development of science and technology, transnational technologicalexchanges happen frequently. A large number of international treaties lay down theminimum standards of IPRs protection. At the same time, the enforcement of IPRsshows an increasingly significance in the protection of IPRs, and gradually attracts theattention of many international treaties. This thesis starts from the concept, featuresand functions of the enforcement of IPRs, closely focus on the regulations andstandards of enforcement set by international multilateral treaties. On the theoreticalprospective, the thesis anlylizes the rationality of taking the subject of enforcementinto the international multilateral treaties, reveals the potential challenges that it maybring to the traditional international law theory, and then draws to the conclusion thatsome fundamental principles and essential restrictions should be conformed by themultilateral treaties when regulating the subject of IP enforcement. This part resolvesthe problems of “whether” and “how” should IP enforcement be regulated byinternational treaties; while on a practical prospective, the thesis chooses some typicalmultilateral intellectual property treaties as the starting point, interprets and evaluates their certain provisions of IP enforcement, and briefly introduces the existingcondition of IP enforcement in China and brings up some countermeasures andsuggestions.The studies on the Enforcement of Intellectual Property Rights in MultilateralTreaties have great value in both theorial and practical fields. This thesis has about180,000Chinese characters including the introduction and five chapters. The specificcontents are as follows:Chapter Ⅰ make a general statement of the enforcement of IPRs: firstly,introduces the concept, features and functions of enforcement of IPRs; secondly,traces the developmental history of the international multilateral treaties, whichindicates that TRIPS represents the landmark in that it firstly establish a completeenforcement minimum standards in the history of multilateral treaties. Before TRIPS,few multilateral treaties made explicit provisions for it, while after TRIPS,enforcement standards in multilateral treaties become increasingly common anddetailed.Chapter Ⅱ expounds the Theoretical basis to take IP enforcement intomultilateral treaties, which is demonstrated from four aspects: it’s the essentialrequirement of the special characteristics of IPRs, it’s the logical result ofprocedural justice, it’s an inevitable choose in the trend of globalization ofinternational law, and it’s the direct effect of the fundamental principle of “pactasunt servanda”.Chapter Ⅲ reveals the challenge that the IP enforcement provisions may bring tothe traditional theory of international law: it restricts the sovereignty of anindependent state more stringently, and it expands the legal connotation anddenotation of the international obligation from the multilateral treaties. As a result,some fundamental principles and essential restrictions should be conformed by themultilateral treaties when regulating the subject of IP enforcement.Chapter Ⅳ interprets and evaluates the certain enforcement provisions of sometypical multilateral IP treaties, including some international treaties concluded beforeTRIPS, TRIPS and TRIPs-plus treaties represented by ACTA. Chaper Ⅴ briefly introduces the existing condition of IP enforcement in China,discusses the influence from TRIPS, TRIPs-plus enforcement treaties and the effortmade by the developing countries against IPR hegemonism, and then brings up somecountermeasures and suggestions to improve our IP enforcement system.
