| 摘要: |
| 在促进我国台湾地区知识产权法进步一事上，其司法仍可大有作为。智慧财产法院整体而言，欠缺考虑台湾地区所处发展阶段的需要 (例如汽车零件市场欠缺竞争与设计专利的强制许可，以及名牌商品二手市场迟迟无法建立仿冒品认定机制)，对于方兴未艾的营业秘密保护议题的掌握有诸多令人担忧之处。展望未来，智慧财产法院应做大幅度改革，宜只专门审理专利及其他技术案件（例如植物新品种），应转型为二级法院，应为法官建立定期轮调制度。可惜，台湾地区“司法院”并未认知到前述问题，反而将智慧财产法院改组为“智慧财产及商业法院”，将法官人数9人、高等法院层级、管辖重大商业民事的商业法院并到智慧财产法院，但是就智慧财产法院的组成、职掌以及案件的审理并未做任何改变。 |

| Abstract: |
| The judiciary in Taiwan could have done much more to progress intellectual property laws in Taiwan. Generally speaking, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Court lacks the consideration for the needs of local industrial development (e.g. lack of competition and compulsory license in the automobile spare parts industry and the second hand market for branded goods hampered by the lack of credible third party verification mechanism for counterfeit), and its handling of trade secret protection worries the IP community. In the future, the Taiwan Intellectual Property Court needs to undertake a reform that would limit its jurisdiction to second instance hearing of only technical cases (invention patents, plant varieties, etc.). In addition, judges sitting on Taiwan Intellectual Property Court should rotate periodically to other courts. Unfortunately, the Judiciary Yuan is merging the to be established Commercial Court (9 judges dealing with grave commercial cases as the second instance court) with Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, without any reform of the latter in mind. |
