摘要:

近年NPE专利诉讼数量增长迅猛,九成以上专利诉讼在美国发起。作为NPE的发源地,美国一直在规范NPE专利运营的最前沿,对其他国家相关制度的构建具有重要指导意义。从美国NPE相关司法典型案例角度进行深入分析,明确美国从指导专利权人和实施者的许可行为、细化专利客体判定标准、缩减诉讼地选择权、优化知识产权诉讼程序等方面规范NPE的活动,为我国企业应对NPE知识产权风险提供重要参考。

Abstract:

In recent years, the number of NPE patent litigation has increased rapidly, with more than 90% of patent litigation initiated in the United States. As the birthplace of NPEs, the United States has always fought at the forefront of regulating NPE patent operations and has important guiding significance for the construction of relevant systems in other countries. This paper analyzes the progress of relevant judicial typical cases in the United States. It clarifies that the United States regulates NPE activities from the aspects of regulating the licensing behavior of patentees and implementers, clarifying the standards for determining patent objects, reducing the choice of litigation venues, and optimizing intellectual property litigation procedures, which provides important reference for Chinese enterprises to respond to NPE intellectual property risks.

Key words: non-practicing entities, patent infringement litigation, judicial regulation, patent operation
