摘要

Abstract

Under the background of new quality productivity to promote high-quality development

standard essential patents (SEPs)

as a product of the fusion of technical standards and patents

have become a key challenge in restricting innovation and market competition through the misuse of SEP licences. This paper analyses the causes of SEP licensing abuse from three aspects: the endogenous logic of technical standards

the imbalance of market structure and the dilemma of international regulatory coordination

pointing out that the network effect of technical standards and the concentration of patents have led to SEP right holders obtaining the right to over-market bargaining power

and that the differences in the international rules have further exacerbated the loopholes in regulation. In view of the deviation of China's current anti-monopoly regulation

the study reveals that the ambiguous criteria for determining the dominant market position

the unclear definition of "unfairly high price" and the unclear boundaries of the rules for injunctive relief have led to the judicial practice facing the risk of inconsistency in the judgement scale and insufficient protection of the public interest. In this regard

the study proposes optimisation strategies: defining dominant market position through dynamic evaluation mechanism

constructing compound FRAND licensing fee calculation standard

and improving judicial review rules for injunctive relief

so as to balance the patentee and the public interest. The study emphasises the need to continue to improve the SEP legal regulatory system and strengthen the adaptability and coordination of antitrust regulation

so as to create a fair and efficient innovation ecosystem for the development of new productivity.
