侵犯植物新品种权入刑的理论证成与立法构想
Theoretical Justification and Legislative Design of Criminalizing the Infringement of Plant Variety Rights
摘要
Abstract
The criminal law protection of plant variety rights can improve the protection level of intellectual property rights in seed industry,stimulate original innovation,and create a favorable legal environment for the revitalization of seed industry,but the current criminal law does not stipulate criminal liability for the infringement of plant variety rights.Severe infringements of plant variety rights not only damage the private interests,but also damages the economic order of variety rights management.Given the insufficient deterrence and punishment of civil and administrative measures against such infringements,coupled with the increasing calls for improving the protection of intellectual property rights in the seed industry,it is reasonable and necessary to criminalize the infringement of plant variety rights.To maintain consistency with existing intellectual property crimes,the act of infringing variety rights could be designated as the"crime of plant variety right infringement".In terms of the standards for criminalization,the objective requirement is that the act must be criminally illegal and of severe circumstances,while the subjective requirement is intent,without requiring a profit motive.To prevent the"chilling effect"on innovation,the criminalization of plant variety rights infringement should adhere to the principle of moderation and be implemented in specific legal provisions.Penalties should include imprisonment and fines,with two tiers based on"severe circumstances"and"especially severe circumstances."At the same time,a reasonable decriminalization mechanism should be established through application of the proviso in Article 13 of the Criminal Law,as well as non-prosecution by public security organs,and non-indictment by procuratorial authorities.关键词
