Abstract:
Since the promulgation of the Criminal Law in 1997, the number ofconvictions and sentences for this crime has been completely disproportionateto the number of rapidly developing patent applications. The revision of thePatent Law in 2008 changed the concept of “counterfeiting others’ patents” to“counterfeiting patents”, resulting in a change in the concept of “precursor tothe Criminal Law”, resulting in “jurisdictional conflicts”, which in turn madethe judicial application of the crime of counterfeiting patents more ambiguous,which will seriously hinder the development of China’s patent system and thusaffect the economic development of the entire society. Based on the “security ofthe patent marking system”, this paper explains the “counterfeiting” behavior inthe crime of patent counterfeiting, and puts forward meaningful suggestions forthe application of this crime in practice.
假冒专利罪自1997年《刑法》颁行生效以来,该罪名的定罪量刑数量相较于飞速发展的专利申请数量完全不成比例。2008年《专利法》的修改将“假冒他人专利”修改为“假冒专利”使得作为《刑法》前置法的概念发生了变化,导致了“法域的冲突”进而使得假冒专利罪的司法适用变得更加模糊,这将严重阻碍我国专利制度的发展进而影响到整个社会的经济发展。本文以“专利标示制度安全”作为基础,将假冒专利罪中的“假冒”行为进行解释,为实务中该罪的适用提出有意义的建议。
