中国《反垄断法》第55条的解释与适用

中国《反垄断法》第55条乃协调知识产权法与反垄断法间冲突之外部体系的核心。第55条虽具除外条款之外观,但不应被解释为限制性法条;而应被解释为说明性法条,是关于不违反反垄断法之知识产权行使与违反反垄断法之知识产权行使的类型描述。第55条并无构成要件;处理个案的实体性问题时,不应直接适用第55条,而是应适用反垄断法的其他规定认定某知识产权行使的违法性。第55条明确了衡平两法的理念,并将此衡平任务授权给反垄断执行机构。

On the Interpretation and Implementation of Article 55 of China AML

Article 55 of China Antimonopoly Law is the core of external system which deals with the conflict between IPR and AML.Although Article 55 looks like the exceptional act,it should not be interpreted as the restricted act,but the explanatory act which underlies the IPR practice should be divided as the legal one and illegal one from the perspective of AML.Article 55 contents no constitutive?requirements,and it can not be applied directly to make the judgment on the lawfulness of one specific IPR practice,which should be judged directly by the general acts of AML.Article 55 underlies the ideal of equity related to the conflict between IPR and AML,and claims that the AML agency should assume the duty on the implementation of such equity.
