Analysis on the Basic Problems of Indirect Patent Infringement

专利间接侵权的基本问题探析

At present, disputes over patents and related research are frequently emerging in both the judicial practice and academic circles. However, the content of patent infringement mainly focuses on typical direct infringement, while the application and research on patent indirect infringement are not very clear. In the context of increasingly diverse forms of patent infringement, it is necessary to clarify the relevant content of patent indirect infringement. This paper mainly adopts the case analysis method to aim to define the concept of patent indirect infringement whether the infringement act is completed when it reaches the hands of non-profit users (terminal consumers) for use, and to clarify the types, constituent elements and liability issues of patent indirect infringement.

当前有关专利的纠纷案件及相关研究在司法实务界和学术界频出涌现，而有关专利侵权的内容以典型的直接侵权为主，对于专利间接侵权的适用及研究不甚明晰。在专利侵权形式越来越多样化的情况下，有必要明确专利间接侵权的相关内容。主要采用案例分析法，通过研究对专利间接侵权的概念探索式地以是否到达不以营利为目的的使用者（终端消费者）手中使用即告完成侵权为条件进行定义，并明确专利间接侵权的类型、构成要件及责任承担问题。
