專利權排除侵害之相對性與衡平法理──以智慧財產法院一○○年度民專上字第五七號判決為例

Relative Prevention of Patent Infringement and Equitable Jurisprudence- In terms of Zhi Hui Cai Chan Fa Yuan 100 Nian Du Min Zhuan Shang Zi Di 57 Hao Pan Jue

本文是以智慧財產法院一○○年度民專上字第五七號判決為例，闡述專利法第九六條第一項之侵害除去請求權與侵害防止請求權等救濟之准許與否，除以專利侵權是否成立為判斷因素外，尚須考慮衡平之因素，確定該等請求的必要，始能強化排除侵害的正當性。否則，機械且概念的解釋第九六條之救濟請求，將可能創造專利權人過度補償的危險，更有可能無形中排擠其他技術的貢獻，甚至影響專利技術的再創新與改良。

Based upon the decision of Taiwan IP Court, Zhi Hui Cai Chan Fa Yuan 100 Nian Du Min Zhuan Shang Zi Di 57 Hao Pan Jue, this article argued that besides the factor of the risk for patent infringement, in order to determine if the permanent injunction is granted, the equitable factors should be considered to justify the injunction under Paragraph 1 of Article 96 of Taiwan Patent Act. Otherwise, the mechanic interpretation of Paragraph 1 of Article 96 will produce the risk of overcompensation for the patentee under patent law, and even squeeze the opportunities to have the improvement or follow-on innovation on the patented technologies.
