【摘要】 337条款源于美国《1930年关税法》第337条,以后经过多次修改补充,形成系统的主要管制外国厂商侵犯美国知识产权的法律规则。美国国际贸易委员会(International Trade Commission, ITC)依据337条款对进口贸易中的不公平行为进行调查。根据337条款规定,进口贸易中侵害法律保护的知识产权以及其他形式的不公平竞争都被认为是非法的。本文对337调查制度进行了比较详细的分析,通过将337调查与联邦法院诉讼、“特别301条款”调查和反倾销调查进行了详细的比较,得出337调查的特征。本文还介绍了337调查的救济措施,重点探讨了普遍排除令这一强有力的救济措施。随着我国对美贸易顺差的不断扩大,我国企业不断遭到美国337条款的调查。因此有必要对美国337条款的法律内涵进行分析,以期得出有益于我国出口企业的合理建议。本文采用比较研究、概念分析和法条解释等研究方法,就337条款的法律适用、实施程序、制定法及判例法的最新发展进行探讨,并且通过美国针对中国的典型案例进行详细的研究,得出切实可行的对策。更多还原

【Abstract】 Section 337 initially refers to the section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930. Over the years, Section 337 has developed into one of the primary means for U.S. companies to protect their intellectual property rights.Under Section 337 of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C.§1337), the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) conducts investigations into allegations of certain unfair practices in import trade. Section 337 declares the infringement of certain statutory intellectual property rights and other forms of unfair competition in import trade to be unlawful practices.The paper gives a detailed analysis of the section 337 investigation mechanism. Based on the comparison of the 337 investigation mechanism with federation court litigation, special 301, and the antidumping, the paper summarizes the characteristics of the American section 337 investigation. This paper also introduces the remedies of 337 investigations, and makes a focus on the general exclusion order which is the most powerful remedy.As the foreign trade surplus from the United States is continuously extending, China’s ventures are now more and more often suffering investigation by the United States in accordance with the Article 337. Therefore it seems necessary to analyze the connotation of the Article 337 so as to conclude reasonable suggestions helpful to China’s export ventures.This essay discusses the legal application, execution procedures of Section 337 and its newly development on statute law and case law, and concluded feasible countermeasures on the detailed research from the cases.更多还原
