2、论三个部分。导言部分，说明撰写本文的目的，即希望通过对美国专利诉讼中永久禁令适用问题的研究，总结并提出一些建议来完善我国专利诉讼中停止侵害民事责任的适用。正文部分由四章组成：第一章，美国专利诉讼中的永久禁令。该章对永久禁令这一衡平法上重要的救济方式作一概述，并分别介绍了美国传统民事诉讼中签发永久禁令所适用的“四要素检验标准”以及美国专利诉讼所特别适用的“自动签发规则”。“自动签发规则”尽管有其优点，但是随着“专利渔夫”的层出不穷，适用“自动签发规则”所带来的弊端越来越明显。笔者通过介绍几例典型的“专利渔夫”案例对“专利渔夫”现象及其成因进行剖析。第二章，eBay 案与永久禁令。本章介绍了最终改

3、变二十多年来美国专利诉讼中永久禁令适用标准的 eBay 案。美国最高法院在 eBay 案的判决中重新确立了在专利诉讼中签发永久禁令应适用传统衡平法的“四要素检验标准”。笔者进一步对 eBay 案判决后美国地方法院在审理专利诉讼过程中遇到的一系列新问题进行分析和展望。第三章，从 eBay 案看美国对专利的保护趋势。本章通过介绍 eBay 案后美国法院针对专利权人要求签发永久禁令的诉请所陆续作出的一系列判决，评析美国专利诉讼中适用永久禁令的趋向，从中归纳美国提高专利诉讼中永久禁令适用标准的背景及其深层原因。第四章，完善我国专利诉讼中停止侵害民事责任的适用。永久禁令实质上III与我国法上的停止侵害民

4、事责任相类似。在我国专利诉讼的司法实践中也存在把停止侵害这一民事责任当然化的现象，笔者通过分析造成这一现象的原因，并结合对 eBay 案等美国专利诉讼司法判例的总结以及我国专利法第三次修改的新成果，对完善我国专利诉讼中停止侵害民事责任的适用提出一些建议。最后，结论部分对文章进行归纳总结。 关键词 专利诉讼 永久禁令 停止侵害 自动签发规则 四要素检验标准 专利渔夫IResearch on the Application of Permanent Injunctions in American Patent Cases and Its Inspiration to China（Abstract）
