摘要
等同原则旨在保障专利人权益,避免他人对专利要求中技术手段的非实质性改变,轻易规避专利侵权的法律责任。因其突破传统文义解释边界,削弱了专利权项的公示性与确定性,如何调适两者关系,是各法域专利法中争议话题之一。就等同原则与全面覆盖原则的适用关系上,一直存在不同观点,即有学者主张应采德国法下的等同原则,摒弃全面覆盖原则,采用整体技术方案比对;也有学者主张遵循美国法下的等同原则判定路径,严格坚持全面覆盖原则,即坚持单一特征比对。目前也有针对其他国家以及地区司法实务的研究,各学说在学界和实务界产生较大分歧,观点亦针锋相对,对权利人援用等同原则获得法律保护的影响较大。
The principle of equivalence aims to prevent the rights and interests of the patentee from being easily insubstantial changes in the technical means in the patent requirements by others,and to easily evade the legal liability for patent infringement.Because it breaks the boundaries of traditional literal interpretation and weakens the publicity and certainty of patent rights,how to adjust the relationship between the two is one of the controversial topics in the patent law of various jurisdictions.Regarding the application relationship of the principle of equivalence and the principle of comprehensive coverage,there have always been varied views.That is,some scholars advocate that the principle of equivalence under German law should be adopted,the principle of comprehensive coverage should be discarded,and the overall technical solution comparison should be adopted.there are also scholars who advocate following the principles of American law,strictly adhere to the principle of comprehensive coverage,that is,stick to the comparison of single characteristics.There are also studies on judicial practices in other countries and Taiwan.The various theories have caused great divergence in the academic and practical circles,and their views are also tit-for-tat,which exerts a greater impact on the right holders to obtain legal protection by invoking the principle of equivalence.
