行業慣例與不正當競爭

Trade Practice and Unfair Competition

反不正當競爭法一般條款具體化的決定標準是利益平衡。良好的行業慣例是利益平衡的評價依據。爬蟲協議目前雖然是行業公認慣例，但不能協調搜尋引擎服務中的利益衝突，因而並不是良好的行業慣例。為了保護作者、搜索引擎服務產業及公眾利益，作品傳播者不能依爬蟲協議阻止他人搜索。不過，搜索必須遵循一定的限度。在百度與360之間的訴訟中，雙方都實施了不正當競爭行為。

The decisive criterion for specification of general clause in Anti Unfair Competition Law is the balance of interests. Favorable trade practice can be used as the basis to evaluate the interests balance. The robots exclusion protocol, though acknowledged as current trade practice, fails to coordinate the interest conflicts in search engine industry. Thus it can not be accepted as a favorable trade practice. In order to protect the interests of authors, search engine industry as well as the public, it is suggested that work communicators can not prevent others from searching based on the robot exclusion protocol. However, this kind of searching must be limited to a certain degree. In the lawsuits between Baidu and 360, both sides have conducted unfair competition.
