商业秘密善意第三人研究

Research on the Third Party Acting in Good Faith of Trade Secret

摘要: 现有商业秘密保护制度就商业秘密侵权善意第三人未有直接规定，已有规定中规制客体仅限于技术秘密。商业秘密侵权中的善意取得在构成要件、法律效果和前置条件上区别于一般物权的善意取得，不能简单适用一般物权的善意取得制度。商业秘密善意第三人制度应适用利益平衡原则和公平原则，善意第三人需从第二人处获取商业秘密，该第二人不享有转让或许可使用商业秘密的权利，第三人的主观善意需在获取商业秘密和后续使用中持续。善意第三人的责任认定采附条件的折衷主义，以商业秘密权利人的通知前后为标准采用不同认定方式。

Abstract: The existing business secret protection system does not contain direct and explicit provisions on a bona fide third party who infringes on a business secret, and the objects that are regulated in relevant provisions are limited to technical secrets. Acquisition in good faith relating to business secrets is different from acquisition in good faith of general property right in terms of constitutive requirements, legal effect and precondition precedent, so acquisition in good faith of general property right cannot be applied simply. The bona fide third party system shall apply the principle of benefit and balance as well as the principle of fairness. Where a bona fide third party needs to obtain a trade secret from a second party, the sec-ond party shall not be entitled to transfer or license the trade secret, and the third party’s subjective bona fide needs to be continuously maintained in the obtaining and subsequent use of the trade secret. The liability of a bona fide third party shall be ascertained by adopting the conditional compromise doctrine and the time before and after the notice by the obligee of the trade secret.
