摘要
本文探究智慧財產銀行成立後，以特定專利或專利組合交給涉訟一方於法庭主張的實益。主要論點分為三個部分：一、在成立智財銀行後，其會員或股東如何在專利訴訟中運用智財基金裡的反訴型、布局型與虛擬型基金專利，包括運用特定專利或者某特定專利組合等方法以面對訴訟;二、運用上述方法後對於專利權效力之風險;三、分析被告在面臨專利訴訟時，智財銀行對訴訟的優缺點。研究發現，智財銀行對於證明系爭專利的有效性而言，除了可以節省時間成本之外，沒有其他較強的實益。對於為了達到和解的目的，以反訴或引誘交互授權的方式壓迫對方和解，是反訴型基金裡的專利可以提供的功用。對於專利權效力的風險，主要在於公平交易法的違反而導致的專利濫用。最後，智財銀行在專利訴訴中的優點包括節省訴訟時間成本，提高和解的可能性，減少併購公司以取得專利的成本，提供迴避設計的專利，以及確定可以透過智財銀行得到專利等;致於缺點則包括侵權事實仍然存在，併購好處更包括人才與know how的移轉，公平交易法違反的可能，費用過高以及投資者間的利益衝突。
