专利产品的修理与再造的侵权问题研究
Study on the Infringement of Repair and Reconstruction of Patented Products

2006年日本再生墨盒案引起了关于专利产品修理与再造行为是否侵犯专利权的讨论。通说认为，根据权利用尽原则专利产品在专利权人许可的情况下一经销售，买方对专利商品的使用、转售行为不再被视为侵权，但买方制造专利商品的行为仍然构成侵权。当一个商品因被使用而发生损坏，对它进行充分的维修或维护，一般认为这是正常的，被视为“使用”行为。而当需要维修的内容过多时，这种维修行为是属于“使用”还是“制造”就存在争议。
The 2006 Japanese remanufactured ink cartridge case led to a discussion on whether the repair and remanufacturing of patented products infringed patent rights. It is commonly held that once a patented product is sold under the license of the patentee under the principle of exhaustion of rights, the buyer’s use and resale of the patented goods is no longer considered to be an infringement of the patent, but the buyer’s manufacture of the patented goods still constitutes an infringement of the patent. When a commodity is damaged by use, adequate repair or maintenance is generally considered normal and is regarded as “use” behavior. However, when too much repair is required, there is a dispute as to whether such repair is “use” or “manufacture”.
