公司治理與智慧財產權之間連結關係的初探

A Preliminary Study on the Connection Between Corporate Governance and Intellectual Property Rights

本研究以常見的營業秘密法、商標法及專利法之商業爭議為智慧財產權探討之主軸。近年商業網絡發展迅速及複雜化，公司治理連結至智慧財產權受其侵害時，所引發之企業責任，企業要採取預測及偵測智慧財產權不當行為或犯罪行為之遏止，合適的推動遵守法律之企業組織文化。對此，公司治理制度具有風險辨識、評估、監控的效能對於公司組織營運過程極為重要，亦企業各單位進行定期智財權自行評估（簡稱「智財權自評」）並對作業成效加以考核，但實務上有關智財權部門進行事後書面考核時，因欠缺與作業控制面的連結資訊，故較難察覺問題就智財權的防線角度，應主動發現並掌握業務單位的監督風險所在。若業務單位隱匿實情，監督責任部門並無從得知，使得智財權防線的風險監控及防禦功能受到限制。
智財權必須確實建立完善的企業經營風險評估機制，以主動發現智財權的風險，並發揮監控功能。為達成此目的，目前大多數公司僅利用過去業務單位以防堵方式為根基，結果造成爭議日益複雜難以釐清，即顯然不能有效幫助董監事進行經營風險評估之智財權，如何發展一套智財權系統能夠涵蓋風險辨識、評估、控制、衡量及監控等元素的主動式風險管理及監督架構，已為所有上市（櫃）及大型企業的當務之急。

The common commercial disputes of Trade secret law, Trademark law and Patent law as the main axis of commercial intellectual property rights are main points of the research. In recent years, business networks have been developed rapidly and more complex which have caused damage to the rights intellectual property of corporate government. Since corporate governance is linked to the corporate responsibility arising from intellectual property rights infringements. Companies must take measures to predict and detect intellectual property rights of misconduct or criminal behavior, and appropriately promote compliance with the law of corporate organizational culture. In this regard, the corporate governance system must has the functions of risk identification, assessment and monitoring, which is extremely important for the company’s organizational operation process. This system also allows each unit to conduct regular self-assessment of intellectual property rights (Referred to as ’’self-assessment of intellectual property rights’’) and evaluate the effectiveness of operations. in practice, when the relevant intellectual property rights department conducts a post-event written assessment, it is difficult to evaluate the intellectual property rights due to the lack of information with the operation control panel. From the perspective of the line of defense, we should actively discover and master the supervision risks of business units. If the business unit hides the truth, the responsible supervisory department has no way of knowing it, which limits the risk monitoring and defense functions of the intellectual property defense line.
Intellectual property rights must be set up so that the enterprise can play a role of monitoring and the risk assessment mechanism can proactively discover intellectual property rights risks. In order to achieve this goal, most companies currently only use the past ways to prevent blockages, resulting in increasingly complex disputes and difficult to clarify, intellectual property rights, which obviously cannot effectively help directors and supervisors to assess business risks, it is urgent to develop a set of intellectual property rights? A proactive risk management and supervisory structure that involve risk identification, assessment, control, measurement and monitoring in the treasury system has been a top priority for all listed OTC and large enterprises.
