摘　　要：继美欧市场之后,中国正成为第三极专利诉讼市场。标准必要专利诉讼作为专利纠纷的特殊类型,常涉及SEP费/费率的裁定。在美国法域下,法院倾向于基于当事人之间的协商、商业导向与追求高效的SEP费/费率,做出超过诉讼请求的裁判。欧洲法域下,如果当事人愿意达成全球许可协议,法院可做出全球性的SEP费/费率判决。现阶段我国侵权成本低、维权成本高、赔偿额低的司法环境下,极易出现司法"绑架"现象。尽管我国专利法司法解释有关于SEP"实施许可条件"的规定,但是机械诉讼与缺乏推进协商的制度保障,导致司法无法满足行业需求。为节省司法资源、尊重市场本质,法院依据司法解释做出判定时,可允许当事人约定第三方仲裁,同时充分考虑协商过程中的主观状态与禁令之间的关系,引导当事人协商解决SEP费/费率纠纷。Following U. S. and Europe, China is becoming the third market for patent litigation. As a special kind of patent disputes, SEP litigation often concerns the adjudicating of patent license fee. In the U. S. jurisdiction, the court’s judgement tends to exceed the litigation claim based on the negotiation between parties, the market pursuit, or the pursuit of efficient negotiation for SEP fee. In the European jurisdiction, when parties enter into a global SEP license agreement, the court is likely to decide on a global SEP fee. Compared with the U. S. and European judicial practice, Chinese judicial embarrassment results from low cost of conducting infringement action, expensive litigation cost and low rewards for infringement. Even though Chinese patent law aad related judicial interpretation explain the way to settle the SEP license disputes, these rules can not satisfy the needs of patentee in absence of due process of negotiation. In order to avoid wasting judicial resources and respect the nature of market, the courts could allow parties to solve the SEP fee disputes by arbitration, while taking into consideration of the relationship between subjective status and the injunction.
