摘　　要：中国最高人民法院集中审理技术类知识产权上诉案件后,“案多人少”困境逐步显现,参照美国经验建立强制调解制度的对策受到立法机关、学界关注。美国联邦巡回上诉法院建立强制调解制度曾面临重大争议,该院所披露调解率因统计口径偏差具有误导性。依照中国常用统计口径重新统计的结果表明,该院知识产权上诉案件强制调解情况较差且逐年恶化,显著低于中国现有制度成效。随着中国知识产权诉讼环境逐年改善,上诉案件中当事人调解动机难以增强,实施强制调解很难取得良好实效。以美国“自由裁量型”强制调解制度为蓝本的制度构建方案,缺乏明确的案件筛选标准,有悖于中国沿袭的“规范出发型”大陆法系民事诉讼立法传统,不契合目前中国民事调解制度发展阶段,故现阶段中国不宜建立技术类知识产权上诉案件强制调解制度。Since the Supreme People s Court of China has the national jurisdiction in technological Intellectual Property(IP)appeal cases,the dilemma of litigation explosion and lack of judges emerged gradually.The legislators and scholars force on the strategy come from American that to establish the Mandatory Mediation to solve this dilemma.The U.S.Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit has faced significant controversy over the establishment of Mandatory Mediation.The mediation statics disclosed by CAFC is misleading because of the statistical caliber deviation.The statistics which is re-statistics commonly used statistical caliber in China show that the effect of Mandatory Mediation on IP appeal lawsuit in CAFC was deteriorating year by year.The effect of existing mediation regulation in China s Court is better than the former.With the improvement of IP litigation environment in China,it is difficult for the parties to enhance their motivation for mediation,and it is difficult to achieve desirable results in the implementation of mandatory mediation.The Mandatory Mediation Construction program based on the Appellate Mediation Program of CAFC is lack of a clear selecting criteria.Moreover,this program is contrary to the China s Civil Procedure Law legislation tradition which come from the Civil Law,and does not conform with the development stage of the China civil mediation at present.Therefore it is not appropriate for China to establish the Mandatory Mediation for technological intellectual property appeal cases at this stage.
