摘要

專利權侵害乃專利法之重要議題之一，藉由民事救濟程序，權利受侵害者能請求以金錢賠償其損害。依循我國民事法之基本原則，金錢賠償之主要目的係在填補既已發生之損害，從而僅能彌補專利權人之實際損害。考量實際損害額之計算困難，專利法第97條第1項規定三種損害計算方式，亦即權利人之實際損害法、侵害人之侵害所得利益法與合理權利金法。本文認為，專利權侵害涉及之損害賠償規範，其目的除了在填補已發生之損害，亦應兼而有遏阻及預防侵害再發生之功能，從而侵害所得利益法之損害計算方式於專利實務應有其重要性。本文之重點即在分析侵害所得利益法之法律地位、性質及其具體適用。

Patent infringement is one of the most important issues in patent laws. Civil remedy plays a crucial role and money damages are rewarded to compensate for the damages that patentees suffered. Following the principle set forth in Taiwanese civil law, the main goal of money damages is to compensate for past infringement, and only the actual damages can be recovered. Given the difficulty in calculating the actual damages, Article 97 (1) of the Taiwanese Patent Act stipulates three methods of calculation, namely the payment of compensatory damages, recovery of the profits incurred by infringer and reasonable royalty. This article asserts that prevention of further infringement shall also be the main goal of remedies, apart from compensation for past infringement. Thus the damage calculation of recovery of the infringer's profits takes a significant role in patent practice. This article analyzes the concept and status of this method and its application in detail.
