摘要
若干发达国家于2010年10月正式公布了此前一直秘密谈判的《反假冒贸易协定》,旨在进一步加强知识产权的执法体系。于此同时,随着关税壁垒的大幅削减以及各国对国际货物贸易增长的进一步需求,贸易便利化成为各级贸易规则谈判的重要议题。在这样的背景下,贸易便利化与知识产权边境执法之间的相互关系和相互影响问题日渐凸显。本文尝试从贸易便利化的视角来考察知识产权边境执法体系,在概述了《反假冒贸易协定》的边境执法规则后,进一步分析了这套规则对贸易便利化的影响。在此基础上,本文着重讨论了中国应如何在促进贸易便利化和保护知识产权的双向维度下确立恰当的知识产权边境执法体系,并提出了具体的建议。
To further strengthen the enforcement system of intellectual property rights, several developed countries officially announced the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement(ACTA) in October 2010 that had been secretly negotiated between them. At the same time, since tariff barriers have been greatly slashed and the demand for international trade of goods further grows up, trade facilitation gradually becomes an important issue at each level of trade rules negotiation. In this context, the interrelationship and mutual influence between trade facilitation and intellectual property border enforcement is increasingly prominent. This paper attempts to examine the intellectual property border enforcement system from the perspective of trade facilitation. After makes an overview of the border enforcement rules under ACTA, this paper further analyses the influence of this set of rules on trade facilitation. On this basis, this paper focuses on how to establish an appropriate intellectual property border enforcement system under the two-way dimension of promotion trade facilitation and protection of intellectual property, and puts forward concrete proposals.
