由于本次调查处于新型冠状病毒疫情防控期间,海口知识产权法庭按照中央、省委、市委、上级法院关于疫情防控工作的部署和省高院党组书记、院长陈凤超提出的法院工作与防控工作“两手抓、两不误”的要求,创新工作方式方法,将原定的走访调研方式变更为通过微信小程序和电子邮件向企业发放调查问卷的方式开展调查。截至2020年2月25日,共发出问卷105份,回收有效问卷88份。

通过对调查结果的分析,发现被调查企业普遍存在知识产权持有率较低、知识产权保护意识不强、知识产权专业人才缺乏、知识产权维权困难等问题。多数被调查企业希望法院能够定期向企业提供专业指导、在诉讼中提高审理效率、降低维权成本、加大侵权惩治力度。立足于本次调查所反映出来的企业在知识产权保护方面的司法需求,海口知识产权法庭拟在下一步的工作中采取以下措施:

(一)加强知识产权保护宣传,提升知识产权保护意识。通过组织“4.26”知识产权日普法宣传、典型案例通报宣传、示范庭审在线直播、定期送法下企业等活动,采取现场宣传、网络宣传、报刊宣传等多种方式,向社会公众展示知识产权审判的工作成果、引导社会公众自觉保护知识产权。

(二)建立定期工作联系机制,开展知识产权专业培训。一是鼓励有条件的企业成立专门的知识产权管理机构、配备专业化的管理人员;二是联合行政执法机关,与企业或行业协会建立定期工作联系机制,及时沟通解决企业知识产权保护中遇到的问题;三是在知识产权保护需求较高的创新型、高新技术型产业园区设立知识产权司法保护联系点,定期开展知识产权专业培训,主动帮助企业提高知识产权保护能力,提升企业核心竞争力。

(三)贯彻和谐司法审判理念,建立多元化纠纷解决机制。遵循“调解优先、调判结合”的原则,在知识产权案件审理过程中,针对知识产权案件专业性强、当事人多处于异地的特点,通过聘请相关技术专家担任调解员、开展在线调解、佐以同类案例检索等多种方式开展调解工作,为当事人争取变侵权为合作的机会,促成纠纷的彻底解决,促进知识产权的合法利用和传播。

(四)适度加大侵权赔偿力度,降低企业维权成本。一方面,对于创新程度高的知识产权侵权案件,适度加大裁判力度,激励企业通过司法手段维护自身知识产权;另一方面,通过实行网上庭审、探索采信可信时间戳等电子证据效力、提升审判质效等方式,降低企业诉讼的经济、举证和时间成本。

(五)深入开展调查研究,着力解决新情况新问题。密切关注和准确把握新形势下知识产权纠纷发展的新趋势,加强对新情况、新问题、重点难点问题的调查研究,加强对典型案例的分析研判和归类总结,以过硬的专业素质指导企业的知识产权保护工作,为建设海南自由贸易港提供强有力的司法保障。
