摘要
种子是农业的芯片,植物新品种权是保护育种创新的一项重要知识产权,而非法代繁侵权行为是侵害植物新品种权的一种典型行为.对最高人民法院发布的种业知识产权典型案例之一——(2020)最高法知民终428号案件分析发现,我国司法实践过程中仍然存在侵权主体混杂、行为隐蔽、取证困难和赔偿数额认定难等复杂问题.因此,需通过行政和司法合力保护、科学分配举证责任、法定赔偿和惩罚性赔偿相结合的完善对策来纾解困境.
Abstract
Seeds are the chips of agriculture.The plant variety right is an important intellectual property right for the protection of breeding innovation,while illegal breeding is a typical behavior of infringing the right.Through an analysis of Judgment No.428 (2020),one of the typical cases of intellectual property rights in the seed industry issued by the Supreme People's Court,it is found that in the course of China's judicial practice,there are still some complex problems such as mixed subjects of infringement,hidden behaviors,difficulties in obtaining evidence and difficulties in determining the amount of compensation.Therefore,it is necessary to tackle these problems through the countermeasures such as administrative and judicial protection,appropriate allocation of the burden of proof,and the combination of statutory and punitive damages.
