[Abstract]:Intellectual Property Law and Competition Law have been intertwined from the very day of their emergence. They have both common objectives and conflicting and contradictory aspects. Competition is controlled and effective competition is maintained in the market to achieve the goal, because restriction of competition will damage the actual and potential competition; while intellectual property law encourages people to innovate in the field of knowledge economy by granting some form of restriction of competition, such as protection of exclusive rights and granting the obligee exclusive rights for a period of time. Intellectual property law protects the exclusive rights of the obligee, but there is no fundamental difference between intellectual property rights and general property rights in anti-monopoly law, because intellectual property rights also have the possibility of restricting competition and will inevitably be subject to anti-monopoly law. That is to say, on the one hand, the obligee has the right to be protected by intellectual property rights through his invention and creation. On the other hand, because the essence of market economy is competition, competition is also one of the ways to promote innovation, anti-monopoly law does not allow intellectual property owners to rely on their monopoly status to seriously hinder, restrict or distort market competition.
There are two opposing views on whether competition law should intervene in intellectual property rights. One is non-intervention, which holds that even if a particular intellectual property right does bring monopoly power to the obligee, the exclusive right should be protected from the review of competition law. The incentive mechanism of the intellectual property system has a negative impact. The likelihood of policymakers making mistakes in combating restrictive competition and the cost of all kinds of mistakes determine that the cost of condemning competitive behavior is higher than that of exempting restrictive competition. When Microsoft faces the danger of being sued for fragmentation, the American economists have reached an unprecedented tacit agreement to denounce the US antitrust law. The theory of complementarity holds that the fact that exclusive rights are granted by intellectual property law does not imply an inherent conflict between intellectual property rights and competition rules. In fact, both legal systems aim at promoting the effective distribution of consumer welfare and resources. Intellectual property promotes dynamic competition by encouraging firms to invest in new products and technologies, while competition law promotes innovation by imposing competitive pressures on firms. Therefore, both are necessary to promote innovation and competition. Competitive pressures. Without intellectual property protection, competitors can compete by imitation without having to invest in better new products; without competitive pressures, there is no guarantee that intellectual property owners will continue to invest and innovate after gaining monopoly profits. Especially in the fast-growing high-tech sector, where there are de facto or legal standards. It is easy for an intellectual property enterprise to own the whole market, and thereafter the intellectual property enterprise may eliminate the original competition in this market and start rent-seeking activities for the expansion of intellectual property rights. In this situation, a dominant firm does not need to continue to invest in future innovation to obtain monopoly profits. Therefore, the intervention theory based on complementarity theory advocates that competition law should intervene in the field of intellectual property when dynamic competition is restricted.
In recent years, multinational corporations have repeatedly abused their dominant position in the market because of their intellectual property rights, excluded competitors, endangered the development of China's national enterprises and damaged the welfare of consumers by means of intellectual property strategies such as refusing to license, overpricing, compulsory licensing package and setting up a "patent jungle". Theoretically speaking, the abuse of intellectual property rights is not only happened to transnational corporations, but also to domestic enterprises. However, at present, the domestic enterprises are still at a relative disadvantage in the aspect of intellectual property rights, and the transnational corporations are powerful, advanced in technology, and hold a lot of intellectual property rights, compared with them. Generally speaking, the abuse of intellectual property rights is more likely to occur in Chinese enterprises, and its impact is even greater. Therefore, the abuse of market dominance of intellectual property rights, which is often seen in newspapers, is mainly caused by multinational corporations.
In China, there is no real problem of abusing the dominant position of the intellectual property rights in the market, only because there are no corresponding legal norms in many cases, some acts are not subject to due sanctions. Excessive protection of the rights will inevitably lead to abuse of rights. Especially in China, the level of independent innovation is low, technology is relatively backward, and foreign intellectual property rights are powerful, intellectual property legislation has been in line with international standards, reducing the level of intellectual property protection is not feasible, therefore, we must strengthen the anti-monopoly regulation of intellectual property rights. Strong intellectual property protection and strong anti-monopoly laws and regulations are two sides of a coin, which are the two pillars of China's technological and economic development. How to find a balance between the protection of competition and the protection of intellectual property, that is, the incentive mechanism to protect intellectual property, so that it can give full play to the function of "adding oil to the fire of genius" in order to enrich public goods and improve consumer welfare, on the other hand, to maintain the balance? It is an urgent problem for China to protect the effective competition in the market, exclude the intellectual property field and limit the competition to the range necessary to stimulate innovation.
From the international experience, the primary objective of EU competition law is to establish a unified internal market and strictly regulate the use of intellectual property rights to restrict the free flow of goods and restrict free competition. Therefore, the European Court of Justice has created a series of principles and precedents to regulate the abuse of intellectual property rights. This is mainly achieved through competition law. Compared with the more relaxed attitude of the United States towards anti-competitive intellectual property rights, especially the abuse of market dominance, the EU experience is more suitable for China today.
As for the regulation of abusing the dominant position of the market, China's Anti-monopoly Law draws more lessons from the model of the EU Competition Law. The EU has accumulated a number of cases and administrative law enforcement experience in the abuse of market dominance over intellectual property rights. It has issued a law enforcement guide to Article 102 of the Operational Treaty of the EU (hereinafter referred to as Article 102 of the TFEU). The academic research results are also relatively rich. These are the legislation on abuse of market dominance in the field of intellectual property rights in China. In addition, the reform of the effect analysis method which the EU has been discussing has certain reference significance to the analysis method of the abuse of market dominance in the field of intellectual property rights in China. Next.
The first chapter starts with the relationship between intellectual property protection and competition law, analyzes this issue from the perspective of economics and competition law, compares the advantages and disadvantages of various theories, reviews the history of dealing with the relationship between the two in advanced countries and regions of competition law enforcement, such as Europe and the United States, and makes a basic Study on whether competition law can interfere in the field of intellectual property. Position.
Chapter 2 discusses the general methods of regulating the abuse of market dominance of intellectual property rights by EU competition law, expounds the traditional formalism analysis method in EU competition case law and the TFEU Article 102 effect analysis method which the European Commission has been calling for, and discusses whether the effect method can be applied to the abuse of intellectual property rights market. A comparative analysis of field dominance cases is made.
Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 respectively analyze the specific acts involved in the cases of abuse of market dominance in the field of intellectual property rights in the European Union, discuss the constitutive requirements and the criteria of judgment one by one, and point out the deficiencies in the handling of specific cases by the European Commission and the courts. Typical cases are IBM, Volvo and Renault, Magill, IMSHealth and Microsoft. The development of these cases has made the EU increasingly clear about the components of anti-competitive refusal to license, and new product rules. The abuse of patent application system is a new type of abuse of market dominance in the field of intellectual property rights. The European Commission's investigation report on the pharmaceutical industry and the latest cases have a positive regulatory attitude towards the abuse of market dominance. But there are still some problems left behind, and this is also discussed in this paper.
Finally, based on the current situation of China's intellectual property legislation, the international intellectual property protection level, the relationship between China's intellectual property protection and economic growth, the abuse of market dominance in the field of intellectual property in China and the current situation of China's intellectual property anti-monopoly legislation, we can draw on the experience of the European Union to improve the field of intellectual property in China. The regulation of abuse of market dominant position has put forward countermeasures and suggestions from the principle to the concrete analysis method, with a view to providing some useful reference for the formulation of the Guidelines on Anti-monopoly Law Enforcement in the Field of Intellectual Property Rights.
