法院“拍脑袋”判赔100万？证据不足时专利侵权赔偿额的确定丨自拍杆专利案例

In the past few years, the protection of the “selfie stick” patent (201420522729.0, an integrated selfie device) has been attracting much attention. It is said that the patent owner has filed more than 2,600 lawsuits and obtained patent compensation of nearly 100 million yuan.

在其中一起案件中，本来由于举证问题无法确定的侵权赔偿额，法院最终因故意和重复侵权判赔100万。金额是否合理引起了双方争议。

尽管被告承认侵权，但在一审中，由于专利权人没有提供因侵权造成经济损失的证据（受损的证据），被告也没有提供其因侵权获利的证据（获利的证据），且没有可以参考的专利许可费标准，导致双方对赔偿金额无法达成一致。

一审知识产权法院判决被告停止侵权并赔偿专利权人100万元经济损失及维权合理费用。

The defendant apparently believed that the amount of compensation was too high and appealed to the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China (SPC).

最高人民法院认为，在缺乏受损、获利或参考许可费证据的情况下，可以从以下几个方面来确定赔偿金额：侵权行为的性质、侵权情节、权利人在相关案件中的获赔情况、侵权产品的价值和利润率、被告的经营状况等。

本案中，被告不仅销售侵权产品，还制造这些产品，是侵权行为的源头。

此外，被告还根据客户需求，在产品上印制不同标识。

这些行为不仅增加了专利权人维权的难度和成本，也对部分下游渠道（如零售商）造成困扰。

Prior to the current lawsuit, the defendant had been sued twice for selfie stick infringement and was found guilty of infringement both times. However, the defendant not only did not stop the infringement, but instead modified the sales information of its store and continued to manufacture and sell multiple infringing products. Therefore, the defendant’s infringement was of a bad nature, serious circumstances, and with subjective malice.

对于这种故意和重复侵权行为，应在法律规定的范围内从高确定赔偿金额。因此，最高人民法院认为，一审法院判定的100万元赔偿金额合理，符合专利法规定。
