摘　　要：《最高人民法院关于审理侵犯专利权纠纷案件应用法律若干问题的解释(二)》明确了专利侵权事先约定赔偿方式的可适用性。专利侵权事先约定赔偿制度旨在减轻权利人举证负担、加强专利权保护力度,也体现出对契约精神的充分尊重,构成对当事人自由意志的保护。该制度的构建与运行须建立在现有法律制度的基础之上,以确保法律体系的一致性。因此,厘清相关规则间的逻辑关系,有助于确保约定赔偿条款适用的正当性、提高法律的预见性。本文着重探讨了约定赔偿数额的可调整性、约定赔偿与法定赔偿的界限、约定赔偿的适用条件等问题,试为事先约定赔偿制度的解读提供一点思路。Interpretation （II） of the Supreme People＇s Court on Several Issues concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Patent Infringement Dispute Cases clearly expresses the applicability of Prior Agreement for Compensation in patent infringement litigation. The rule of Prior Agreement for Compensation aims to decrease the burden of proof and improve patent protection. It also reflects the full respect to the spirit of contract. Construction and application of Prior Agreement for Compensation should be based on the existing laws to ensure the consistence of the legal system. Therefore, clarifying the relationship between the relevant rules may ensure the justification and foreseeability of the law. This article focuses on the adjustability of the clauses of Prior Agreement for Compensation and the circumstances for using Prior Agreement for Compensation, which is expected to shed light on the Prior Agreement for Compensation in patent infringement litigation.
