【摘要】 竞业禁止是世界各国普遍使用的,用以协调、平衡市场主体之间各自权益、遏制无序竞争的一项非常重要的法律制度。竞业禁止可分为广义的竞业禁止和狭义的竞业禁止,本文主要是对狭义的竞业禁止进行相关研究,即对具有竞争关系的特定人的特定行为的禁止的研究,从实质上来看,竞业禁止所要限制的行为,其实是一种广义上的不正当竞争行为。竞业禁止是市场经济发展到一定阶段的产物,确立和完善竞业禁止制度是市场经济健康发展的必然要求。随着市场竞争的日益激烈,竞业禁止的适用范围也在不断地扩大。目前,该项制度已经成为各主要发达国家以立法形式来保护其商业秘密的一种非常重要的手段,同时该项制度也被大多数企业用来保护其商业秘密,成为了企业保护商业秘密的一项非常有效的法律保护措施。而由于该制度在我国起步较晚,加之我国立法对此规定尚不完善,随着我国社会主义市场经济体制的不断发展与完善,民事主体出现空前的自由,各类市场活动主体相互之间的竞争也越来越激烈,因而在实践中出现了大量有关竞业禁止问题方面的纠纷。正因为如此,理论界也对此进行着激烈的讨论,主要集中在,我国是否应当设立该项制度,该制度合法性如何以及应该怎样对其实行合理的限制等。因此,笔者认为,在当前市场经济飞速发展的今天,为了保障我国社会主义市场经济的健康运行,有必要对我国竞业禁止协议问题进行相关理论研究和探讨并在此基础上完善我国的竞业禁止协议法律制度。本文从竞业禁止协议的基础理论出发,考察并借鉴了国外关于竞业禁止协议制度的相关规定,对竞业禁止协议的效力及法律救济进行相关解析,着重分析了我国现有法律制度中的相关规定及其存在的问题,并在此基础上提出了为完善我国竞业禁止协议法律制度所作得一些设想和建议,借以希望这些建议能为我国竞业禁止协议制度在实践中的运用提供有益借鉴。本文共分为六个部分。第一部分主要介绍了竞业禁止协议的一般基础理论,涵盖的内容包括竞业禁止协议的法律界定、历史沿革、基本原则以及关于竞业禁止协议的国内外研究现状。第二部分的主要内容是竞业禁止协议制度的国际考察与借鉴,分别介绍了英美法系和大陆法系关于竞业禁止协议制度的相关法律规定以及这些国家的规定对我国法律的借鉴意义。第三部分主要解析竞业禁止协议的效力认定,论述了竞业禁止协议效力的一般理论、竞业禁止协议的的合法性判断标准以及对竞业禁止协议的合理性限制。第四部分主要介绍了违反竞业禁止协议的法律救济问题,分析了违反竞业禁止协议的判断、违反竞业禁止协议的责任构成以及违反竞业禁止协议的责任承担方式。第五部分主要介绍我国竞业禁止协议的立法现状,并分析了我国竞业禁止协议制度存在的问题。第六部分为完善我国竞业禁止协议制度的建议,笔者认为,为完善我国竞业禁止协议制度,应着重从如下几个方面入手:完善立法,明确竞业禁止协议的合法地位;适当扩大竞业禁止协议的保护范围;明确竞业补偿费用的标准及计算和支付方式以及完善违反竞业禁止协议的责任承担方式等。
