Abstract:
Parallel import of patented products means that an importer imports
the patented products which are put into one country by the patentee to
another country, and such import is not authorized by the patentee. With the
development of trade globalization and the strengthening of IP protection,
the issue of parallel import of patented products has become increasingly
prominent. Patent parallel import embodies complex interests, including the
relationship between patentee’s monopoly right and public interest, between
developed and developing countries, between intellectual property protection
and free trade. This kind of complex interests makes patent parallel import
become one of the most controversial issues in the international trade field. This
article will carry on the analysis to the patent product parallel import question.
The first chapter will define the concept of patent product parallel import, the
second chapter will discuss the basic theory of parallel import, the third chapter
will sort out the relevant provisions in the international conventions, and the
fourth chapter will trace back the relevant judicial practice in the United States.
专利产品平行进口是指进口商将权利人投放到其他国家的专利产品进口到另一个国家,并且该进口行为未经权利人的许可。随着贸易全球化的发展和知识产权保护的加强, 专利平行进口问题日益突出。专利平行进口中体现了复杂利益关系, 包括专利权人的垄断权和公共利益的关系、发达国家和发展中国家的关系、知识产权保护与自由贸易的关系等。这种复杂的利益关系使得专利平行进口成为国际贸易领域最受争议的问题之一。本文将对专利产品平行进口问题进行浅析。第一章将对专利产品平行进口的概念进行界定;第二章将对平行进口的基
础理论进行探讨;第三章将梳理国际公约中的相关规定;第四章将对美国的相关司法实践进行回溯。
