摘要

Abstract

The

lex loci protectionis

rule is the core conflict-of-laws norm for cross-border intellectual property infringement. Rooted in intellectual property territoriality

this rule was first implicitly underpinned by the Berne Convention. Against the backdrop of digitalization and globalization

cross-border intellectual property infringements are no longer confined to a single territory. Global judicial practice is generally challenged by the conflation of the

lex loci protectionis

the

lex fori

and the

lex loci delicti

as well as ambiguous ascertainment criteria amid multi-jurisdictional concurrence

which results in a lack of certainty and uniformity in the choice of law. Based on international conflict of laws jurisprudence

it is proposed to uphold its core status

take the effects doctrine as auxiliary

and clarify choice-of-law boundaries. Categorized rules for registered and unregistered intellectual property shall be formulated to define application priority. Optimizing this

rule coordinates legal interests

advances global IP conflict rules unification

and safeguards the rational protection of intellectual property rights.
