自20世紀50年代到70年代期間,世界經濟實現了快速增長,美國亦鞏固了全球霸權的地位,並試圖築構一套符合美國利益的國際經貿體系。由於智慧財產權由國家所授與,屬於國家主權範圍,他國不得干預之國家行為,但美國挾其霸權優勢,大舉推動智慧財產權的國際建制,以“特別301條款”之國內立法,透過國際建制架構,迫使其他貿易國家提升智慧財產權標準,以及將智慧財產權納入1995年WTO的與《貿易有關智慧財產權協定》(TRIPs)中,確立了會員國對智慧財產權保護的最低標準。除此,為彌補WTO已逐漸不敷應付今日複雜的國際情勢,美國開啟各項雙邊或複邊自由貿易協定之談判,並在協定內加入智慧財產權保護的章節,我國智慧財產權制度亦於此國際環境下發展。為探究國內智慧財產權制度之保護政策在美國「霸權」壓力下的形成、發展與困境,本文爰採用跨層次分析之研究架構概念,並運用宋學文教授(Dr. Hseik-Wen, Soong)所建立之“(3+1)i決策模型”,以銜接國際關係與公共政策之兩個研究領域,作為本論文之研究探討途徑。
From 1950s to the 1970s, due to the world economy making a rapid growth, The United States had been consolidated its position as a global hegemony, trying to build a structure in line with US interests in international trade system. US used her hegemony advantage aggressively to promote international institution of intellectual property rights. As known, the intellectual property right granted by country belonging to a State's sovereignty, therefore, State must not interfere in other countries of the acts of state. the United States makes the "Special 301" section of the domestic law, forcing her national trade standards to enhance intellectual property rights, and to include intellectual property in the standards of WTO in 1995 and the "Agreement on Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" (TRIPs), the Member States and establishing minimum standards for intellectual property protection. In addition, for compensating the growing complex of the international trade, WTO has gradually inadequate to cope with, the United States opened the negotiations on a bilateral or plurilateral free trade agreements and intellectual property rights protection that were later added in the chapters of the agreement. Our intellectual property system has been developed under the international environment. In order to explore the protection of intellectual property rights system of domestic policy formed under the United States 'hegemonic' pressure, development and difficulties, this paper adopts Yuan Cross AHP concept of architecture, and the approach of Prof. Hseik-Wen, Soong established the "(3+1)i Decision Model", linking two areas of study of International Relations and Public Policy as an interdisciplinary study of the way.
