Article 1:
Nature and Scope of Obligations

第一条
义务的性质和范围

1. Members shall give effect to the provisions of this Agreement. Members may, but shall not be obliged to, implement in their law more extensive protection than is required by this Agreement, provided that such protection does not contravene the provisions of this Agreement. Members shall be free to determine the appropriate method of implementing the provisions of this Agreement within their own legal system and practice.  一、各成员应实施本协定的规定。各成员可以,但并无义务,在其法律中实施比本协定要求更广泛的保护,只要此种保护不违反本协定的规定。各成员有权在其各自的法律制度和实践中确定实施本协定规定的适当方法。
2. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "intellectual property" refers to all categories of intellectual property that are the subject of Sections 1 through 7 of Part II.  二、就本协定而言,“知识产权”一词指作为第二部分第一节至第七节主题的所有类别的知识产权。
3. Members shall accord the treatment provided for in this Agreement to the nationals of other Members. In respect of the relevant intellectual property right, the nationals of other Members shall be understood as those natural or legal persons that would meet the criteria for eligibility for protection provided for in the Paris Convention (1967), the Berne Convention (1971), the Rome Convention and the Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respect of Integrated Circuits, were all Members of the WTO members of those conventions. Any Member availing itself of the possibilities provided in paragraph 3 of Article 5 or paragraph 2 of Article 6 of the Rome Convention shall make a notification as foreseen in those provisions to the Council for Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (the "Council for TRIPS").  三、各成员应对其他成员的国民给予本协定规定的待遇。就有关的知识产权而言,其他成员的国民应理解为符合《巴黎公约》(1967)、《伯尔尼公约》(1971)、《罗马公约》和《关于集成电路的知识产权条约》规定的保护资格标准的自然人或法人,假设所有WTO成员均为这些公约的成员。任何利用《罗马公约》第五条第三款或第六条第二款中规定的可能性的成员,均应按这些条款中所预想的那样,向与贸易有关的知识产权理事会(TRIPS理事会)作出通知。

Article 2:
Intellectual Property Conventions

第二条
知识产权公约

1. In respect of Parts II, III and IV of this Agreement, Members shall comply with Articles 1 through 12, and Article 19, of the Paris Convention (1967).  一、就本协定的第二部分、第三部分和第四部分而言,各成员应遵守《巴黎公约》(1967)第一条至第十二条和第十九条。
2. Nothing in Parts I to IV of this Agreement shall derogate from existing obligations that Members may have to each other under the Paris Convention, the Berne Convention, the Rome Convention and the Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respect of Integrated Circuits.  二、本协定第一部分至第四部分的任何规定不得背离各成员可能在《巴黎公约》、《伯尔尼公约》、《罗马公约》和《关于集成电路的知识产权条约》项下相互承担的现有义务。

Article 3:
National Treatment

第三条
知识产权公约

1. Each Member shall accord to the nationals of other Members treatment no less favourable than that it accords to its own nationals with regard to the protection of intellectual property, subject to the exceptions already provided in, respectively, the Paris Convention (1967), the Berne Convention (1971), the Rome Convention or the Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respect of Integrated Circuits. In respect of performers, producers of phonograms and broadcasting organizations, this obligation only applies in respect of the rights provided under this Agreement. Any Member availing itself of the possibilities provided in Article 6 of the Berne Convention (1971) or paragraph 1(b) of Article 16 of the Rome Convention shall make a notification as foreseen in those provisions to the Council for TRIPS.  一、在知识产权保护方面,在遵守《巴黎公约》(1967)、《伯尔尼公约》(1971)、《罗马公约》或《关于集成电路的知识产权条约》中各自规定的例外的前提下,每一成员给予其他成员国民的待遇不得低于给予本国国民的待遇。就表演者、录音制品制作者和广播组织而言,此义务仅适用于本协定规定的权利。任何利用《伯尔尼公约》第六条或《罗马公约》第十六条第一款(二)项规定的可能性的成员,均应按这些条款中所预想的那样,向TRIPS理事会作出通知。
2. Members may avail themselves of the exceptions permitted under paragraph 1 in relation to judicial and administrative procedures, including the designation of an address for service or the appointment of an agent within the jurisdiction of a Member, only where such exceptions are necessary to secure compliance with laws and regulations which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement and where such practices are not applied in a manner which would constitute a disguised restriction on trade.  二、各成员可利用第一款下允许的在司法和行政程序方面的例外,包括在一成员管辖范围内指定送达地址或委派代理人,但是这些例外应为保证遵守与本协定规定发生不相抵触的法律和法规所必需,且这种做法的实施不会对贸易构成变相限制。

Article 4:
Most-Favoured-Nation Treatment

第四条
最惠国待遇

   With regard to the protection of intellectual property, any advantage, favour, privilege or immunity granted by a Member to the nationals of any other country shall be accorded immediately and unconditionally to the nationals of all other Members.

(d) deriving from international agreements related to the protection of intellectual property which entered into force prior to the entry into force of the WTO Agreement, provided that such agreements are notified to the Council for TRIPS and do not constitute an arbitrary or unjustifiable discrimination against nationals of other Members.  (四)自《WTO协定》生效之前已生效的有关知识产权保护的国际协定所派生,只要此类协定向TRIPS理事会作出通知,并对其他成员的国民不构成任意的或不合理的歧视。

Article 5:
Multilateral Agreements on Acquisition or Maintenance of Protection

第五条

However, Members shall not have rights or obligations under this Agreement in respect of the rights conferred under Article 6bis of that Convention or of the rights derived therefrom.  一、各成员应遵守《伯尔尼公约》(1971)第一条至第二十一条及其附录的规定。但是,对于该公约第六条之二授予或派生的权利,各成员在本协定项下不享有权利或义务。

Such protection, which shall not extend to the data or material itself, shall be without prejudice to any copyright subsisting in the data or material itself.  二、数据汇编或其他资料,无论机器可读还是其他形式,只要由于对其内容的选取或编排而构成智力创作,即应作为智力创作加以保护。该保护不得延伸至数据或资料本身,并不得损害存在于数据或资料本身的任何版权。

Article 11:
Rental Rights

第十一条
出租权

   In respect of at least computer programs and cinematographic works, a Member shall provide authors and their successors in title the right to authorize or to prohibit the commercial rental to the public of originals or copies of their copyright works. A Member shall be excepted from this obligation in respect of cinematographic works unless such rental has led to widespread copying of such works which is materially impairing the exclusive right of reproduction conferred in that Member on authors and their successors in title. In respect of computer programs, this obligation does not apply to rentals where the program itself is not the essential object of the rental.  至少就计算机程序和电影作品而言,一成员应给予作者及其合法继承人准许或禁止向公众商业性出租其有版权作品的原件或复制品的权利。一成员对电影作品可不承担此义务,除非此种出租已导致对该作品的广泛复制,从而实质性减损该成员授予作者及其合法继承人的专有复制权。就计算机程序而言,如该程序本身不是出租的主要标的,则此义务不适用于出租。

Article 12:
Term of Protection

第十二条
保护期限

   Whenever the term of protection of a work, other than a photographic work or a work of applied art, is calculated on a basis other than the life of a natural person, such term shall be no less than 50 years from the end of the calendar year of authorized publication, or, failing such authorized publication within 50 years from the making of the work, 50 years from the end of the calendar year of making.  除摄影作品或实用艺术作品外,只要一作品的保护期限不以自然人的生命为基础计算,则该期限自作品经授权出版的日历年年底计算即不得少于五十年,或如果该作品在创作后五十年内未经授权出版,则为自作品完成的日历年年底起计算的五十年。

Article 14:
Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms (Sound Recordings) and Broadcasting Organizations

第十四条
对表演者、录音制品(唱片)制作者和广播组织的保护

1. In respect of a fixation of their performance on a phonogram, performers shall have the possibility of preventing the following acts when undertaken without their authorization: the fixation of their unfixed performance and the reproduction of such fixation. Performers shall also have the possibility of preventing the following acts when undertaken without their authorization: the broadcasting by wireless means and the communication to the public of their live performance.  一、就将其表演固定在录音制品上而言,表演者应有可能防止下列未经其授权的行为:固定其未曾固定的表演和复制该录制品。表演者还应有可能阻止下列未经其授权的行为:以无线广播方式播出和向大众传播其现场表演。
2. Producers of phonograms shall enjoy the right to authorize or prohibit the direct or indirect reproduction of their phonograms.  二、录音制品制作者应享有准许或禁止直接或间接复制其录音制品的权利。
3. Broadcasting organizations shall have the right to prohibit the following acts when undertaken without their authorization: the fixation, the reproduction of fixations, and the rebroadcasting by wireless means of broadcasts, as well as the communication to the public of television broadcasts of the same. Where Members do not grant such rights to broadcasting organizations, they shall provide owners of copyright in the subject matter of broadcasts with the possibility of preventing the above acts, subject to the provisions of the Berne Convention (1971).  三、广播组织有权禁止下列未经其授权的行为:录制、复制录制品、以无线广播方式转播以及将其电视广播向公众传播。如各成员未授予广播组织此类权利,则在遵守《伯尔尼公约》(1971)规定的前提下,应给予广播的客体的版权所有权人阻止上述行为的可能性。
4. The provisions of Article 11 in respect of computer programs shall apply mutatis mutandis to producers of phonograms and any other right holders in phonograms as determined in a Member's law. If on 15 April 1994 a Member has in force a system of equitable remuneration of right holders in respect of the rental of phonograms, it may maintain such system provided that the commercial rental of phonograms is not giving rise to the material impairment of the exclusive rights of reproduction of right holders.  四、第十一条关于计算机程序的规定在细节上作必要修改后应适用于录音制品制作者和按一成员法律确定的录音制品的任何其他权利持有人。如在1994年4月15日,一成员在录音制品的出租方面已实施向权利持有人公平付酬的制度,则可维持该制度,只要录音制品的商业性出租不对权利持有人的专有复制权造成实质性减损。
5. The term of the protection available under this Agreement to performers and producers of phonograms shall last at least until the end of a period of 50 years computed from the end of the calendar year in which the fixation was made or the performance took place. The term of protection granted pursuant to paragraph 3 shall last for at least 20 years from the end of the calendar year in which the broadcast took place.  五、本协定项下表演者和录音制品制作者可获得的保护期限,自该固定或表演完成的日历年年底计算,应至少持续至五十年年末。按照第三款给予的保护期限,自广播播出的日历年年底计算,应至少持续二十年。
6.  Any Member may, in relation to the rights conferred under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3, provide for conditions, limitations, exceptions and reservations to the extent permitted by the Rome Convention. However, the provisions of Article 18 of the Berne Convention (1971) shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the rights of performers and producers of phonograms in phonograms.  六、任何成员可就第一款、第二款和第三款授予的权利,在《罗马公约》允许的限度内,规定条件、限制、例外和保留。但是,《伯尔尼公约》(1971)第十八条的规定在细节上作必要修改后也应适用于表演者和录音制品制作者对录音制品享有的权利。

SECTION 2:
TRADEMARKS

第二节
商标

Article 15:
Protectable Subject Matter

第十五条
可保护客体

1. Any sign, or any combination of signs, capable of distinguishing the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings, shall be capable of constituting a trademark. Such signs, in particular words including personal names, letters, numerals, figurative elements and combinations of colours as well as any combination of such signs, shall be eligible for registration as trademarks. Where signs are not inherently capable of distinguishing the relevant goods or services, Members may make registrability depend on distinctiveness acquired through use. Members may require, as a condition of registration, that signs be visually perceptible.  一、任何标记或标记的组合,只要能够将一企业的货物和服务区别于其他企业的货物或服务,即能够构成商标。此类标记,特别是单词,包括人名、字母、数字、图案的成分和颜色的组合以及任何此类标记的组合,均应符合注册为商标的条件。如标记无固有的区别有关货物或服务的特征,则各成员可以由通过使用而获得的显著性作为注册的条件。各成员可要求,作为注册的条件,这些标记应为视觉上可感知的。
2. Paragraph 1 shall not be understood to prevent a Member from denying registration of a trademark on other grounds, provided that they do not derogate from the provisions of the Paris Convention (1967).  二、第一款不得理解为阻止一成员以其他理由拒绝商标的注册,只要这些理由不背离《巴黎公约》(1967)的规定。
3. Members may make registrability depend on use. However, actual use of a trademark shall not be a condition for filing an application for registration. An application shall not be refused solely on the ground that intended use has not taken place before the expiry of a period of three years from the date of application.  三、各成员可以将使用作为注册条件。但是,一商标的实际使用不得作为接受申请的一项条件。不得仅以自申请日起三年期满后商标未按原意使用为由拒绝该申请。
4. The nature of the goods or services to which a trademark is to be applied shall in no case form an obstacle to registration of the trademark.  四、商标所适用的货物或服务的性质在任何情况下不得形成对商标注册的障碍。
5. Members shall publish each trademark either before it is registered or promptly after it is registered and shall afford a reasonable opportunity for petitions to cancel the registration. In addition, Members may afford an opportunity for the registration of a trademark to be opposed.  五、各成员应在商标注册前或在注册后迅速公布每一商标,并应对注销注册的请求给予合理的机会。此外,各成员可提供机会以便对商标的注册提出异议。

Article 16:
Rights Conferred

第十六条
授予的权利

1. The owner of a registered trademark shall have the exclusive right to prevent all third parties not having the owner’s consent from using in the course of trade identical or similar signs for goods or services which are identical or similar to those in respect of which the trademark is registered where such use would result in a likelihood of confusion. In case of the use of an identical sign for identical goods or services, a likelihood of confusion shall be presumed. The rights described above shall not prejudice any existing prior rights, nor shall they affect the possibility of Members making rights available on the basis of use.   一、注册商标的所有权人享有专有权,以阻止所有第三方未经该所有权人同意在贸易过程中对与已注册商标的货物或服务的相同或类似货物或服务使用相同或类似标记,如此类使用会导致混淆的可能性。在对相同货物或服务使用相同标记的情况下,应推定存在混淆的可能性。上述权利不得损害任何现有的优先权,也不得影响各成员以使用为基础提供权利的可能性。
2. Article 6bis of the Paris Convention (1967) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to services. In determining whether a trademark is well-known, Members shall take account of the knowledge of the trademark in the relevant sector of the public, including knowledge in the Member concerned which has been obtained as a result of the promotion of the trademark.  二、《巴黎公约》(1967)第六条之二在细节上作必要修改后应适用于服务。在确定一商标是否驰名时,各成员应考虑相关部门公众对该商标的了解程度,包括在该成员中因促销该商标而获得的了解程度。
3. Article 6bis of the Paris Convention (1967) shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to goods or services which are not similar to those in respect of which a trademark is registered, provided that use of that trademark in relation to those goods or services would indicate a connection between those goods or services and the owner of the registered trademark and provided that the interests of the owner of the registered trademark are likely to be damaged by such use.  三、《巴黎公约》(1967)第六条之二在细节上作必要修改后应适用于与已注册商标的货物或服务不相类似的货物或服务,只要该商标在对那些货物或服务的使用方面可表明这些货物或服务与该注册商标所有权人之间存在联系,且此类使用有可能损害该注册商标所有权人的利益。

Article 17:
Exceptions

第十七条
例外

   Members may provide limited exceptions to the rights conferred by a trademark, such as fair use of descriptive terms, provided that such exceptions take account of the legitimate interests of the owner of the trademark and of third parties.  各成员可对商标所授予的权利规定有限的例外,如合理使用描述性词语,只要此类例外考虑到商标所有权人和第三方的合法权益。

Article 18:
Term of Protection

第十八条
保护期限

   Initial registration, and each renewal of registration, of a trademark shall be for a term of no less than seven years. The registration of a trademark shall be renewable indefinitely.  商标的首次注册及每次续展的期限均不得少于七年。商标的注册应可以无限续展。

Article 19:
Requirement of Use

第十九条
关于使用的要求

1. If use is required to maintain a registration, the registration may be cancelled only after an uninterrupted period of at least three years of non-use, unless valid reasons based on the existence of obstacles to such use are shown by the trademark owner. Circumstances arising independently of the will of the owner of the trademark which constitute an obstacle to the use of the trademark, such as import restrictions on or other government requirements for goods or services protected by the trademark, shall be recognized as valid reasons for non-use.  一、如维持注册需要使用商标,则只有在至少连续三年不使用后方可注销注册,除非商标所有权人根据对商标使用存在的障碍说明正当理由。出现商标人意志以外的情况而构成对商标使用的障碍,例如对受商标保护的货物或服务实施进口限制或其他政府要求,此类情况应被视为不使用商标的正当理由。
2. When subject to the control of its owner, use of a trademark by another person shall be recognized as use of the trademark for the purpose of maintaining the registration.  二、在受所有权人控制的前提下,另一人使用一商标应被视为为维持注册而使用该商标。

Article 20:
Other Requirements

第二十条
其他要求

   The use of a trademark in the course of trade shall not be unjustifiably encumbered by special requirements, such as use with another trademark, use in a special form or use in a manner detrimental to its capability to distinguish the goods or services of one undertaking from those of other undertakings. This will not preclude a requirement prescribing the use of the trademark identifying the undertaking producing the goods or services along with, but without linking it to, the trademark distinguishing the specific goods or services in question of that undertaking.  在贸易过程中使用商标不得受特殊要求的无理妨碍,例如要求与另一商标一起使用,以特殊形式使用或要求以损害其将一企业的货物或服务区别于另一企业的货物或服务能力的方式使用。此点不排除要求将识别生产该货物或服务的企业的商标与区别该企业的所涉具体货物或服务的商标一起使用,但不将两者联系起来。

Article 21:
Licensing and Assignment

第二十一条
许可和转让

   Members may determine conditions on the licensing and assignment of trademarks, it being understood that the compulsory licensing of trademarks shall not be permitted and that the owner of a registered trademark shall have the right to assign the trademark with or without the transfer of the business to which the trademark belongs.  各成员可对商标的许可和转让确定条件,与此相关的理解是,不允许商标的强制许可,且注册商标的所有权人有权将商标与该商标所属业务同时或不同时转让。

SECTION 3:
GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS

第三节
地理标识

Article 22:
Protection of Geographical Indications

第二十二条
地理标识的保护

1. Geographical indications are, for the purposes of this Agreement, indications which identify a good as originating in the territory of a Member, or a region or locality in that territory, where a given quality, reputation or other characteristic of the good is essentially attributable to its geographical origin.  一、就本协定而言,“地理标识”指识别一货物来源于一成员领土或该领土内一地区或地方的标识,该货物的特定质量、声誉或其他特性主要归因于其地理来源。
2. In respect of geographical indications, Members shall provide the legal means for interested parties to prevent:  二、就地理标识而言,各成员应向利害关系方提供法律手段以防止:
(a) the use of any means in the designation or presentation of a good that indicates or suggests that the good in question originates in a geographical area other than the true place of origin in a manner which misleads the public as to the geographical origin of the good;  (一)在一货物的标志或说明中使用任何手段标明或暗示所涉货物来源于真实原产地之外的一地理区域,从而在该货物的地理来源方面使公众产生误解;
(b) any use which constitutes an act of unfair competition within the meaning of Article 10bis of the Paris Convention (1967).  (二)构成属《巴黎公约》(1967)第十条之二范围内的不公平竞争行为的任何使用。
3. A Member shall, ex officio if its legislation so permits or at the request of an interested party, refuse or invalidate the registration of a trademark which contains or consists of a geographical indication with respect to goods not originating in the territory indicated, if use of the indication in the trademark for such goods in that Member is of such a nature as to mislead the public as to the true place of origin.  三、如一商标包含的或构成该商标的地理标识中所标明的领土并非货物的来源地,且如果在该成员中在此类货物的商标中使用该标识会使公众对其真实原产地产生误解,则该成员在其立法允许的情况下可依职权或在一利害关系方请求下,拒绝该商标注册或宣布注册无效。
4. The protection under paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 shall be applicable against a geographical indication which, although literally true as to the territory, region or locality in which the goods originate, falsely represents to the public that the goods originate in another territory.  四、根据第一款、第二款和第三款给予的保护可适用于虽在文字上表明货物来源的真实领土、地区或地方,但却虚假地向公众表明该货物来源于另一领土的地理标识。

Article 23:
Additional Protection for Geographical Indications for Wines and Spirits

第二十三条

Nothing in this Section shall require a Member to apply its provisions in respect of a geographical indication of any other Member with respect to products of the vine for which the relevant indication is identical with the customary name of a grape variety existing in the territory of that Member as of the date of entry into force of the WTO Agreement.  六、如任何其他成员关于货物或服务的地理标识与一成员以通用语文的惯用术语作为其领土内此类货物或服务的普通名称相同,则本节的任何规定不得要求该成员对其他成员的相关标识适用本节的规定。如任何其他成员用于葡萄酒产品的地理标识与在《WTO协定》生效之日一成员领土内已存在的葡萄品种的惯用名称相同,则本节的任何规定不得要求该成员对其他成员的相关标识适用本节的规定。
7. A Member may provide that any request made under this Section in connection with the use or registration of a trademark must be presented within five years after the adverse use of the protected indication has become generally known in that Member or after the date of registration of the trademark in that Member provided that the trademark has been published by that date, if such date is earlier than the date on which the adverse use became generally known in that Member, provided that the geographical indication is not used or registered in bad faith.  七、一成员可规定,根据本节提出的关于一商标的使用或注册的任何请求必须在对该受保护标识的非法使用已在该成员中广为人知后五年内提出,或如果商标在一成员中的注册日期早于上述非法使用在该成员中广为人知的日期,只要该商标在其注册之日前已公布,则该请求必须在该商标在该成员中注册之日起五年内提出,只要该地理标识未被恶意使用或注册。
8. The provisions of this Section shall in no way prejudice the right of any person to use, in the course of trade, that person’s name or the name of that person’s predecessor in business, except where such name is used in such a manner as to mislead the public.  八、本节的规定决不能损害任何人在贸易过程中使用其姓名或其业务前任的姓名的权利,除非该姓名使用的方式会使公众产生误解。

In situations of national emergency or other circumstances of extreme urgency, the right holder shall, nevertheless, be notified as soon as reasonably practicable. In the case of public non-commercial use, where the government or contractor, without making a patent search, knows or has demonstrable grounds to know that a valid patent is or will be used by or for the government, the right holder shall be informed promptly;  (二)只有在拟使用者在此种使用之前已经按合理商业条款和条件努力从权利持有人处获得授权,但此类努力在合理时间内未获得成功,方可允许此类使用。在全国处于紧急状态或在其他极端紧急的情况下,或在公共非商业性使用的情况下,一成员可豁免此要求。尽管如此,在全国处于紧急状态或在其他极端紧急的情况下,应尽快通知权利持有人。在公共非商业性使用的情况下,如政府或合同方未作专利检索即知道或有显而易见的理由知道一有效专利正在或将要被政府使用或为政府而使用,则应迅速告知权利持有人;

(j) any decision relating to the remuneration provided in respect of such use shall be subject to judicial review or other independent review by a distinct higher authority in that Member;  (十)任何与就此种使用提供的报酬有关的决定应经过司法审查或该成员中上一级主管机关的独立审查;
(k) Members are not obliged to apply the conditions set forth in subparagraphs (b) and (f) where such use is permitted to remedy a practice determined after judicial or administrative process to be anti-competitive. The need to correct anti-competitive practices may be taken into account in determining the amount of remuneration in such cases. Competent authorities shall have the authority to refuse termination of authorization if and when the conditions which led to such authorization are likely to recur;  (十一)如允许此类使用以补救经司法或行政程序确定为限制竞争的行为,则各成员无义务适用(二)项和(六)项所列条件。在确定此类情况下的报酬数额时,可考虑纠正限制竞争行为的需要。如导致授权的条件可能再次出现,则主管机关有权拒绝终止授权;
(l) where such use is authorized to permit the exploitation of a patent ("the second patent") which cannot be exploited without infringing another patent ("the first patent"), the following additional conditions shall apply:  (十二)如授权此项使用以允许利用一专利(“第二专利”),而该专利在不侵害另一专利(“第一专利”)的情况下不能被利用,则应适用下列附加条件:
(i) the invention claimed in the second patent shall involve an important technical advance of considerable economic significance in relation to the invention claimed in the first patent;  (1)与第一专利中要求的发明相比,第二专利中要求的发明应包含重要的、具有巨大经济意义的技术进步;
(ii) the owner of the first patent shall be entitled to a cross-licence on reasonable terms to use the invention claimed in the second patent; and  (2)第一专利的所有权人有权以合理的条件通过交叉许可使用第二专利具有的发明;以及

Therefore, Members shall provide, in at least one of the following circumstances, that any identical product when produced without the consent of the patent owner shall, in the absence of proof to the contrary, be deemed to have been obtained by the patented process:  一、就第二十八条第一款(二)项所指的侵害所有权人权利的民事诉讼而言,如一专利的客体是获得一产品的方法,则司法机关有权责令被告方证明其获得相同产品的方法不同于已获专利的方法。因此,各成员应规定至少在下列一种情况下,任何未经专利所有权人同意而生产的相同产品,如无相反的证明,则应被视为是通过该已获专利方法所获得的:
(a) if the product obtained by the patented process is new;  (一)如通过该已获专利方法获得的产品是新的;
(b) if there is a substantial likelihood that the identical product was made by the process and the owner of the patent has been unable through reasonable efforts to determine the process actually used.  (二)如存在实质性的可能性表明该相同产品是由该方法生产的,而专利所有权人经过合理努力不能确定事实上使用了该方法。
2. Any Member shall be free to provide that the burden of proof indicated in paragraph 1 shall be on the alleged infringer only if the condition referred to in subparagraph (a) is fulfilled or only if the condition referred to in subparagraph (b) is fulfilled.  二、只有满足(一)项所指条件或只有满足(二)项所指条件,任何成员方有权规定第一款所指的举证责任在于被指控的侵权人。

1. Members agree that some licensing practices or conditions pertaining to intellectual property rights which restrain competition may have adverse effects on trade and may impede the transfer and dissemination of technology.  一、各成员同意,一些限制竞争的有关知识产权的许可活动或条件可对贸易产生不利影响,并会妨碍技术的转让和传播。
2. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent Members from specifying in their legislation licensing practices or conditions that may in particular cases constitute an abuse of intellectual property rights having an adverse effect on competition in the relevant market. As provided above, a Member may adopt, consistently with the other provisions of this Agreement, appropriate measures to prevent or control such practices, which may include for example exclusive grantback conditions, conditions preventing challenges to validity and coercive package licensing, in the light of the relevant laws and regulations of that Member.  二、本协定的任何规定均不得阻止各成员在其立法中明确规定在特定情况下可构成对知识产权的滥用并对相关市场中的竞争产生不利影响的许可活动或条件。如以上所规定的,一成员在与本协定其他规定相一致的条件下,可按照该成员的有关法律法规,采取适当的措施以防止或控制此类活动,包括诸如排他性返授条件、阻止对许可效力提出质疑的条件和强制性一揽子许可等。
3. Each Member shall enter, upon request, into consultations with any other Member which has cause to believe that an intellectual property right owner that is a national or domiciliary of the Member to which the request for consultations has been addressed is undertaking practices in violation of the requesting Member's laws and regulations on the subject matter of this Section, and which wishes to secure compliance with such legislation, without prejudice to any action under the law and to the full freedom of an ultimate decision of either Member. The Member addressed shall accord full and sympathetic consideration to, and shall afford adequate opportunity for, consultations with the requesting Member, and shall cooperate through supply of publicly available non-confidential information of relevance to the matter in question and of other information available to the Member, subject to domestic law and to the conclusion of mutually satisfactory agreements concerning the safeguarding of its confidentiality by the requesting Member.  三、应请求,每一成员应与任一其他成员进行磋商,只要该成员有理由认为被请求进行磋商成员的国民或居民的知识产权所有权人正在采取的做法违反请求进行磋商成员关于本节主题的法律法规,并希望在不妨害根据法律采取任何行动及不损害两成员中任一成员作出最终决定的充分自由的情况下,使该立法得到遵守。被请求的成员应对与提出请求成员的磋商给予充分和积极的考虑,并提供充分的机会,并在受国内法约束和就提出请求的成员保障其机密性达成相互满意的协议的前提下,通过提供与所涉事项有关的、可公开获得的非机密信息和该成员可获得的其他信息进行合作。
4. A Member whose nationals or domiciliaries are subject to proceedings in another Member concerning alleged violation of that other Member's laws and regulations on the subject matter of this Section shall, upon request, be granted an opportunity for consultations by the other Member under the same conditions as those foreseen in paragraph 3.  四、如一成员的国民或居民在另一成员领土内因被指控违反该另一成员有关本节主题的法律法规而被起诉,则该另一成员应按与第三款预想的条件相同的条件给予该成员磋商的机会。

PART III:
ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

第三部分
知识产权的实施

SECTION 1:
GENERAL OBLIGATIONS

第一节
一般义务

Article 41

第四十一条

1. Members shall ensure that enforcement procedures as specified in this Part are available under their law so as to permit effective action against any act of infringement of intellectual property rights covered by this Agreement, including expeditious remedies to prevent infringements and remedies which constitute a deterrent to further infringements. These procedures shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of barriers to legitimate trade and to provide for safeguards against their abuse.  一、各成员应保证其国内法中包括关于本部分规定的实施程序,以便对任何侵犯本协定所涵盖知识产权的行为采取有效行动,包括防止侵权的迅速救济措施和制止进一步侵权的救济措施。这些程序的实施应避免对合法贸易造成障碍并为防止这些程序被滥用提供保障。
2. Procedures concerning the enforcement of intellectual property rights shall be fair and equitable. They shall not be unnecessarily complicated or costly, or entail unreasonable time-limits or unwarranted delays.  二、有关知识产权的实施程序应公平和公正。这些程序不应不必要的复杂和费用高昂,也不应限定不合理的时限或造成无理的迟延。
3. Decisions on the merits of a case shall preferably be in writing and reasoned. They shall be made available at least to the parties to the proceeding without undue delay. Decisions on the merits of a case shall be based only on evidence in respect of which parties were offered the opportunity to be heard.  三、对一案件是非曲直的裁决,最好采取书面形式并说明理由。至少应使诉讼当事方可获得,而不造成不正当的迟延。对一案件是非曲直的裁决只能根据已向各方提供听证机会的证据作出。
4. Parties to a proceeding shall have an opportunity for review by a judicial authority of final administrative decisions and, subject to jurisdictional provisions in a Member's law concerning the importance of a case, of at least the legal aspects of initial judicial decisions on the merits of a case. However, there shall be no obligation to provide an opportunity for review of acquittals in criminal cases.  四、诉讼当事方应有机会要求司法机关对最终行政裁定进行审查,并在遵守一成员法律中有关案件重要性的司法管辖权规定的前提下,至少对案件是非的初步司法裁决的法律方面进行审查。但是,对刑事案件中的无罪判决无义务提供审查机会。
5. It is understood that this Part does not create any obligation to put in place a judicial system for the enforcement of intellectual property rights distinct from that for the enforcement of law in general, nor does it affect the capacity of Members to enforce their law in general. Nothing in this Part creates any obligation with respect to the distribution of resources as between enforcement of intellectual property rights and the enforcement of law in general.  五、各方理解,本部分并不产生任何建立与一般法律实施制度不同的知识产权实施制度的义务,也不影响各成员实施一般法律的能力。本部分的任何规定在实施知识产权与实施一般法律的资源分配方面,也不产生任何义务。

SECTION 2:
CIVIL AND ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES AND REMEDIES

第二节
民事和行政程序及救济

Article 42:
Fair and Equitable Procedures

第四十二条
公平和公正的程序

   Members shall make available to right holders civil judicial procedures concerning the enforcement of any intellectual property right covered by this Agreement. Defendants shall have the right to written notice which is timely and contains sufficient detail, including the basis of the claims. Parties shall be allowed to be represented by independent legal counsel, and procedures shall not impose overly burdensome requirements concerning mandatory personal appearances. All parties to such procedures shall be duly entitled to substantiate their claims and to present all relevant evidence. The procedure shall provide a means to identify and protect confidential information, unless this would be contrary to existing constitutional requirements.  各成员应使权利持有人可获得有关实施本协定涵盖的任何知识产权的民事司法程序。被告有权获得及时的和包含足够细节的书面通知,包括权利请求的依据。应允许当事方由独立的法律顾问代表出庭,且程序不应制定强制本人出庭的过重要求。此类程序的所有当事方均有权证明其权利请求并提供所有相关证据。该程序应规定一种确认和保护机密信息的方法,除非此点会违背现有的宪法规定的必要条件。

Article 43:
Evidence

第四十三条
证据

1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority, where a party has presented reasonably available evidence sufficient to support its claims and has specified evidence relevant to substantiation of its claims which lies in the control of the opposing party, to order that this evidence be produced by the opposing party, subject in appropriate cases to conditions which ensure the protection of confidential information.  一、如一当事方已出示可合理获得的足以证明其权利请求的证据,并指明在对方控制之下的与证实其权利请求有关的证据,则司法机关在遵守在适当的情况下可保证保护机密信息条件的前提下,有权命令对方提供此证据。
2. In cases in which a party to a proceeding voluntarily and without good reason refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide necessary information within a reasonable period, or significantly impedes a procedure relating to an enforcement action, a Member may accord judicial authorities the authority to make preliminary and final determinations, affirmative or negative, on the basis of the information presented to them, including the complaint or the allegation presented by the party adversely affected by the denial of access to information, subject to providing the parties an opportunity to be heard on the allegations or evidence.  二、如一诉讼方在合理期限内自行且无正当理由拒绝提供或不提供必要的信息,或严重阻碍与一实施行动有关的程序,则一成员可授权司法机关在向其提供信息的基础上,包括由于被拒绝提供信息而受到不利影响的当事方提出的申诉或指控,作出肯定或否定的初步或最终裁决,但应向各当事方提供就指控或证据进行听证的机会。

Article 44:
Injunctions

第四十四条
禁令

1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order a party to desist from an infringement, inter alia to prevent the entry into the channels of commerce in their jurisdiction of imported goods that involve the infringement of an intellectual property right, immediately after customs clearance of such goods. Members are not obliged to accord such authority in respect of protected subject matter acquired or ordered by a person prior to knowing or having reasonable grounds to know that dealing in such subject matter would entail the infringement of an intellectual property right.  一、司法机关有权责令一当事方停止侵权,特别是有权在结关后立即阻止涉及知识产权侵权行为的进口货物进入其管辖范围内的商业渠道。如受保护的客体是在一人知道或有合理的根据知道从事该客体的交易会构成知识产权侵权之前取得或订购的,则各成员无义务给予此种授权。
2. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Part and provided that the provisions of Part II specifically addressing use by governments, or by third parties authorized by a government, without the authorization of the right holder are complied with, Members may limit the remedies available against such use to payment of remuneration in accordance with subparagraph (h) of Article 31. In other cases, the remedies under this Part shall apply or, where these remedies are inconsistent with a Member's law, declaratory judgments and adequate compensation shall be available.  二、尽管有本部分其他条款的规定,但是只要符合第二部分专门处理未经权利持有人授权的政府使用或政府授权的第三方使用而作出的规定,各成员可将针对可使用的救济限于依照第三十一条(八)项支付的报酬。在其他情况下,应适用本部分下的救济,或如果这些救济与一成员的法律不一致,则应采取宣告式判决,并应可获得适当的补偿。

Article 45:
Damages

第四十五条
赔偿

1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the infringer to pay the right holder damages adequate to compensate for the injury the right holder has suffered because of an infringement of that person’s intellectual property right by an infringer who knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in infringing activity.  一、对于故意或有充分理由应知道自己从事侵权活动的侵权人,司法机关有权责令侵权人向权利持有人支付足以补偿其因知识产权侵权所受损害的赔偿。
2. The judicial authorities shall also have the authority to order the infringer to pay the right holder expenses, which may include appropriate attorney's fees. In appropriate cases, Members may authorize the judicial authorities to order recovery of profits and/or payment of pre-established damages even where the infringer did not knowingly, or with reasonable grounds to know, engage in infringing activity.  二、司法机关还有权责令侵权人向权利持有人支付有关费用,其中可包括有关的律师费用。在适当的情况下,各成员可授权司法机关责令其退还利润和/或支付法定的赔偿,即使侵权人并非故意或没有充分理由知道自己从事侵权活动。

Article 46:
Other Remedies

第四十六条
其他补救

   In order to create an effective deterrent to infringement, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order that goods that they have found to be infringing be, without compensation of any sort, disposed of outside the channels of commerce in such a manner as to avoid any harm caused to the right holder, or, unless this would be contrary to existing constitutional requirements, destroyed. The judicial authorities shall also have the authority to order that materials and implements the predominant use of which has been in the creation of the infringing goods be, without compensation of any sort, disposed of outside the channels of commerce in such a manner as to minimize the risks of further infringements. In considering such requests, the need for proportionality between the seriousness of the infringement and the remedies ordered as well as the interests of third parties shall be taken into account. In regard to counterfeit trademark goods, the simple removal of the trademark unlawfully affixed shall not be sufficient, other than in exceptional cases, to permit release of the goods into the channels of commerce.  为有效制止侵权,司法机关有权在不给予任何补偿的情况下,责令将已被发现侵权的货物清除出商业渠道,以避免对权利持有人造成任何损害,或下令将其销毁,除非此点会违背现有的宪法规定的必要条件。司法机关还有权在不给予任何补偿的情况下,责令将主要用于制造侵权货物的材料和工具清除出商业渠道,以便将产生进一步侵权的风险减少到最低限度。在考虑此类请求时,应考虑侵权的严重程度与给予的救济以及第三方利益之间的均衡性。对于冒牌货,除例外情况外,仅除去非法加贴的商标并不足以允许该货物放行进入商业渠道。

Article 47:
Right of Information

第四十七条
获得信息的权利

   Members may provide that the judicial authorities shall have the authority, unless this would be out of proportion to the seriousness of the infringement, to order the infringer to inform the right holder of the identity of third persons involved in the production and distribution of the infringing goods or services and of their channels of distribution.  各成员可规定,司法机关有权责令侵权人将生产和分销侵权货物或服务过程中涉及的第三方的身份及其分销渠道告知权利持有人,除非此点与侵权的严重程度不相称。

Article 48:
Indemnification of the Defendant

第四十八条
对被告的赔偿

1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order a party at whose request measures were taken and who has abused enforcement procedures to provide to a party wrongfully enjoined or restrained adequate compensation for the injury suffered because of such abuse. The judicial authorities shall also have the authority to order the applicant to pay the defendant expenses, which may include appropriate attorney's fees.  一、如应一当事方的请求而采取措施且该当事方滥用实施程序,则司法机关有权责令该当事方向受到错误禁止或限制的当事方就因此种滥用而受到的损害提供足够的补偿。司法机关还有权责令该申请当事方支付辩方费用,其中可包括适当的律师费。
2. In respect of the administration of any law pertaining to the protection or enforcement of intellectual property rights, Members shall only exempt both public authorities and officials from liability to appropriate remedial measures where actions are taken or intended in good faith in the course of the administration of that law.  二、就实施任何有关知识产权的保护或实施的法律而言,只有在管理该法过程中采取或拟采取的行动是出于善意的情况下,各成员方可免除公共机构和官员采取适当救济措施的责任。

Article 49:
Administrative Procedures

第四十九条
行政程序

   To the extent that any civil remedy can be ordered as a result of administrative procedures on the merits of a case, such procedures shall conform to principles equivalent in substance to those set forth in this Section.  如由于行政程序对案件是非曲直的裁决而导致责令进行任何民事救济,则此类程序应符合与本节所列原则实质相当的原则。

SECTION 3:
PROVISIONAL MEASURES

第三节
临时措施

Article 50

第五十条

1. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to order prompt and effective provisional measures:  一、司法机关有权责令采取迅速和有效的临时措施以便:
(a) to prevent an infringement of any intellectual property right from occurring, and in particular to prevent the entry into the channels of commerce in their jurisdiction of goods, including imported goods immediately after customs clearance;  (一)防止侵犯任何知识产权,特别是防止货物进入其管辖范围内的商业渠道,包括结关后立即进入的进口货物;
(b) to preserve relevant evidence in regard to the alleged infringement.  (二)保存关于被指控侵权的有关证据。
2. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to adopt provisional measures inaudita altera parte where appropriate, in particular where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the right holder, or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed.  二、在适当时,特别是在任何迟延可能对权利持有人造成不可补救的损害时,或存在证据被销毁的显而易见的风险时,司法机关有权采取不作预先通知的临时措施。
3. The judicial authorities shall have the authority to require the applicant to provide any reasonably available evidence in order to satisfy themselves with a sufficient degree of certainty that the applicant is the right holder and that the applicant’s right is being infringed or that such infringement is imminent, and to order the applicant to provide a security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse.  三、司法机关有权要求申请人提供任何可合理获得的证据,以使司法机关有足够程度的确定性确信该申请人为权利持有人,且该申请人的权利正在受到侵犯或此种侵权已迫近,并有权责令申请人提供足以保护被告和防止滥用的保证金或相当的担保。
4. Where provisional measures have been adopted inaudita altera parte, the parties affected shall be given notice, without delay after the execution of the measures at the latest. A review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the defendant with a view to deciding, within a reasonable period after the notification of the measures, whether these measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed.  四、如已经采取不作预先通知的临时措施,则至迟应在执行该措施后立刻通知受影响的各方。应被告请求,应对这些措施进行审查,包括进行听证,以期在作出关于有关措施的通知后一段合理期限内,决定这些措施是否应进行修改、撤销或确认。
5. The applicant may be required to supply other information necessary for the identification of the goods concerned by the authority that will execute the provisional measures.  五、执行临时措施的主管机关可要求申请人提供确认有关货物的其他必要信息。
6. Without prejudice to paragraph 4, provisional measures taken on the basis of paragraphs 1 and 2 shall, upon request by the defendant, be revoked or otherwise cease to have effect, if proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case are not initiated within a reasonable period, to be determined by the judicial authority ordering the measures where a Member's law so permits or, in the absence of such a determination, not to exceed 20 working days or 31 calendar days, whichever is the longer.  六、在不损害第四款规定的情况下,如导致根据案件事非曲直作出裁决的程序未在一合理期限内启动,则应被告请求,根据第一款和第二款采取的临时措施应予撤销或终止生效,该合理期限在一成员法律允许的情况下由责令采取该措施的司法机关确定,如未作出此种确定,则不超过二十个工作日或三十一天,以时间长者为准。
7. Where the provisional measures are revoked or where they lapse due to any act or omission by the applicant, or where it is subsequently found that there has been no infringement or threat of infringement of an intellectual property right, the judicial authorities shall have the authority to order the applicant, upon request of the defendant, to provide the defendant appropriate compensation for any injury caused by these measures.  七、如临时措施被撤销或由于申请人的任何作为或不作为而失效,或如果随后认为不存在知识产权侵权或侵权威胁,则应被告请求,司法机关有权责令申请人就这些措施造成的任何损害向被告提供适当补偿。
8. To the extent that any provisional measure can be ordered as a result of administrative procedures, such procedures shall conform to principles equivalent in substance to those set forth in this Section.  八、在作为行政程序的结果可责令采取任何临时措施的限度内,此类程序应符合与本节所列原则实质相当的原则。

SECTION 4:
SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO BORDER MEASURES

与边境措施相关的特殊要求

Article 51:
Suspension of Release by Customs Authorities

第五十一条
海关中止放行

   Members shall, in conformity with the provisions set out below, adopt procedures to enable a right holder, who has valid grounds for suspecting that the importation of counterfeit trademark or pirated copyright goods may take place, to lodge an application in writing with competent authorities, administrative or judicial, for the suspension by the customs authorities of the release into free circulation of such goods. Members may enable such an application to be made in respect of goods which involve other infringements of intellectual property rights, provided that the requirements of this Section are met. Members may also provide for corresponding procedures concerning the suspension by the customs authorities of the release of infringing goods destined for exportation from their territories.  各成员应在符合以下规定的情况下,采取程序使在有正当理由怀疑假冒商标或盗版货物的进口有可能发生的权利持有人,能够向行政或司法主管机关提出书面申请,要求海关中止放行此类货物进入自由流通。各成员可针对涉及其他知识产权侵权行为的货物提出此种申请,只要符合本节的要求。各成员还可制定关于海关中止放行自其领土出口的侵权货物的相应程序。

Article 52:
Application

第五十二条
申请

   Any right holder initiating the procedures under Article 51 shall be required to provide adequate evidence to satisfy the competent authorities that, under the laws of the country of importation, there is prima facie an infringement of the right holder’s intellectual property right and to supply a sufficiently detailed description of the goods to make them readily recognizable by the customs authorities. The competent authorities shall inform the applicant within a reasonable period whether they have accepted the application and, where determined by the competent authorities, the period for which the customs authorities will take action.  任何启动第五十一条下程序的权利持有人需要提供充分的证据,以使主管机关相信,根据进口国法律,可初步推定权利持有人的知识产权受到侵犯,并提供货物的足够详细的说明以便海关易于辨认。主管机关应在一合理期限内告知申请人是否已受理其申请,如主管机关已确定海关采取行动的时限,则应将该时限通知申请人。

Article 53:
Security or Equivalent Assurance

第五十三条
保证金或同等的担保

1. The competent authorities shall have the authority to require an applicant to provide a security or equivalent assurance sufficient to protect the defendant and the competent authorities and to prevent abuse. Such security or equivalent assurance shall not unreasonably deter recourse to these procedures.  一、主管机关有权要求申请人提供足以保护被告和主管机关并防止滥用的保证金或同等的担保。此类保证金或同等的担保不得无理阻止对这些程序的援用。
2. Where pursuant to an application under this Section the release of goods involving industrial designs, patents, layout-designs or undisclosed information into free circulation has been suspended by customs authorities on the basis of a decision other than by a judicial or other independent authority, and the period provided for in Article 55 has expired without the granting of provisional relief by the duly empowered authority, and provided that all other conditions for importation have been complied with, the owner, importer, or consignee of such goods shall be entitled to their release on the posting of a security in an amount sufficient to protect the right holder for any infringement. Payment of such security shall not prejudice any other remedy available to the right holder, it being understood that the security shall be released if the right holder fails to pursue the right of action within a reasonable period of time.  二、如按照根据本节提出的申请,海关根据非司法机关或其他独立机关的裁决对涉及工业设计、专利、集成电路布图设计或未披露信息的货物中止放行进入自由流通,而第五十五条规定的期限在获得适当授权的机关未给予临时救济的情况下已期满,只要符合所有其他进口条件,则此类货物的所有人、进口商或收货人有权在对任何侵权交纳一笔足以保护权利持有人的保证金后有权要求予以放行。该保证金的支付不得损害对权利持有人的任何其他可获得的补救,如权利持有人未能在一合理期限内行使诉讼权,则该保证金应予解除。

Article 54:
Notice of Suspension

第五十四条
中止放行的通知

   The importer and the applicant shall be promptly notified of the suspension of the release of goods according to Article 51.  根据第五十一条作出的对货物的中止放行应迅速通知进口商和申请人。

Article 55:
Duration of Suspension

第五十五条
中止放行的时限

   If, within a period not exceeding 10 working days after the applicant has been served notice of the suspension, the customs authorities have not been informed that proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case have been initiated by a party other than the defendant, or that the duly empowered authority has taken provisional measures prolonging the suspension of the release of the goods, the goods shall be released, provided that all other conditions for importation or exportation have been complied with; in appropriate cases, this time-limit may be extended by another 10 working days. If proceedings leading to a decision on the merits of the case have been initiated, a review, including a right to be heard, shall take place upon request of the defendant with a view to deciding, within a reasonable period, whether these measures shall be modified, revoked or confirmed. Notwithstanding the above, where the suspension of the release of goods is carried out or continued in accordance with a provisional judicial measure, the provisions of paragraph 6 of Article 50 shall apply.  如在向申请人送达关于中止放行的通知后不超过十个工作日的期限内,海关未被告知一非被告的当事方已就关于案件是非曲直的裁决提出诉讼,或未被告知获得适当授权的机关已采取临时措施延长货物中止放行的期限,则此类货物应予放行,只要符合所有其他进口或出口条件:在适当的情况下,此时限可再延长十个工作日。如已启动就案件是非曲直作出裁决的诉讼,则应被告请求,应进行审查,包括进行听证,以期在一合理期限内决定这些措施是否应予修正、撤销或确认。尽管有上述规定,但是如依照临时司法措施中止或继续中止货物的放行,则应适用第五十条第六款的规定。

The competent authorities shall also have authority to give the importer an equivalent opportunity to have any such goods inspected. Where a positive determination has been made on the merits of a case, Members may provide the competent authorities the authority to inform the right holder of the names and addresses of the consignor, the importer and the consignee and of the quantity of the goods in question.  在不损害保护机密信息的情况下,各成员应授权主管机关给予权利持有人充分的机会要求海关对扣押的货物进行检查,以证实权利持有人的权利请求。主管机关还有权给予进口商同等的机会对此类货物进行检查。如对案件的是非曲直作出肯定确定,则各成员可授权主管机关将发货人、进口商和收货人的姓名和地址及所涉货物的数量告知权利持有人。

Article 58:
Ex Officio Action

第五十八条
依职权的行动

   Where Members require competent authorities to act upon their own initiative and to suspend the release of goods in respect of which they have acquired prima facie evidence that an intellectual property right is being infringed:  如各成员要求主管机关自行采取行动,并对其已取得初步证据证明一知识产权正在被侵犯的货物中止放行,则:
(a) the competent authorities may at any time seek from the right holder any information that may assist them to exercise these powers;  (一)主管机关可随时向权利持有人寻求可帮助其行使这些权力的任何信息;
(b) the importer and the right holder shall be promptly notified of the suspension. Where the importer has lodged an appeal against the suspension with the competent authorities, the suspension shall be subject to the conditions, mutatis mutandis, set out at Article 55;  (二)进口商和权利持有人应被迅速告知中止放行的行动。如进口商向主管机关就中止放行提出上诉,则中止放行应遵守在细节上作必要修改的第五十五条所列条件;
(c) Members shall only exempt both public authorities and officials from liability to appropriate remedial measures where actions are taken or intended in good faith.  (三)只有在采取或拟采取的行动是出于善意的情况下,各成员方可免除公共机构和官员采取适当救济措施的责任。

Article 59:
Remedies

第五十九条
救济

   Without prejudice to other rights of action open to the right holder and subject to the right of the defendant to seek review by a judicial authority, competent authorities shall have the authority to order the destruction or disposal of infringing goods in accordance with the principles set out in Article 46. In regard to counterfeit trademark goods, the authorities shall not allow the re-exportation of the infringing goods in an unaltered state or subject them to a different customs procedure, other than in exceptional circumstances.  在不损害权利持有人可采取的其他诉讼权并在遵守被告寻求司法机关进行审查权利的前提下,主管机关有权依照第四十六条所列原则责令销毁或处理侵权货物。对于假冒商标货物,主管机关不得允许侵权货物在未作改变的状态下再出口或对其适用不同的海关程序,但例外情况下除外。

Article 60:
De Minimis Imports

第六十条
微量进口

   Members may exclude from the application of the above provisions small quantities of goods of a non-commercial nature contained in travellers' personal luggage or sent in small consignments.  各成员可将旅客个人行李中夹带的或在小件托运中运送的非商业性少量货物排除在述规定的适用范围之外。

SECTION 5:

第五节
刑事程序

Article 61

第六十一条

   Members shall provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied at least in cases of wilful trademark counterfeiting or copyright piracy on a commercial scale. Remedies available shall include imprisonment and/or monetary fines sufficient to provide a deterrent, consistently with the level of penalties applied for crimes of a corresponding gravity. In appropriate cases, remedies available shall also include the seizure, forfeiture and destruction of the infringing goods and of any materials and implements the predominant use of which has been in the commission of the offence. Members may provide for criminal procedures and penalties to be applied in other cases of infringement of intellectual property rights, in particular where they are committed wilfully and on a commercial scale.  各成员应规定至少将适用于具有商业规模的蓄意假冒商标或盗版案件的刑事程序和处罚。可使用的救济应包括足以起到威慑作用的监禁和/或罚金,并应与适用于同等严重性的犯罪所受到的处罚水平一致。在适当的情况下,可使用的救济还应包括扣押、没收和销毁侵权货物和主要用于侵权活动的任何材料和工具。各成员可规定适用于其他知识产权侵权案件的刑事程序和处罚,特别是蓄意并具有商业规模的侵权案件。
