|
|
| (2) [Acts Not Requiring the Authorization of the Holder of the Right]
|
二、［不需要权利持有人许可的行为］
|
| (a) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), no Contracting Party shall consider unlawful the performance, without the authorization of the holder of the right, of the act of reproduction referred to in paragraph (1)(a)(i) where that act is performed by a third party for private purposes or for the sole purpose of evaluation, analysis, research or teaching. |
|
| （一）虽有第一款的规定，如果第三者为了私人的目的或者单纯为了评价、分析、研究或者教学的目的，未经权利持有人许可而进行第一款（一）（1）项所述行为的，任何缔约方不应认为是非法行为。
|
|
| (b) Where the third party referred to in subparagraph (a), on the basis of evaluation or analysis of the protected layout-design (topography) ("the first layout-design (topography)"), creates a layout-design (topography) complying with the requirement of originality referred to in Article 3(2) ("the second layout-design (topography)"), that third party may incorporate the second layout-design (topography) in an integrated circuit or perform any of the acts referred to in paragraph (1) in respect of the second layout-design (topography) without being regarded as infringing the rights of the holder of the right in the first layout-design (topography). |
|
| （二）本款（一）项所述的第三者在评价或分析受保护的布图设计（拓朴图）（“第一布图设计（拓朴图）”的基础上，创作符合第三条第二款规定的原创性条件的布图设计（拓朴图）（“第二布图设计（拓朴图”））的，该第三者可以在集成电路中采用第二布图设计（拓朴图），或者对第二布图设计（拓朴图）进行第一款所述的行为，而不视为侵犯第一布图设计（拓朴图）权利持有人的权利。
|
|
| (c) The holder of the right may not exercise his right in respect of an identical original layout-design (topography) that was independently created by a third party. |
|
| （三）对于由第三者独立创作出的相同的原创性布图设计（拓朴图），权利持有人不得行使其权利。
|
|
| (3) [Measures Concerning Use Without the Consent of the Holder of the Right]
|
三、［关于未经权利持有人同意而使用的措施］
|
| (a) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), any Contracting Party may, in its legislation, provide for the possibility of its executive or judicial authority granting a non-exclusive license, in circumstances that are not ordinary, for the performance of any of the acts referred to in paragraph (1) by a third party without the authorization of the holder of the right ("non-voluntary license"), after unsuccessful efforts, made by the said third party in line with normal commercial practices, to obtain such authorization, where the granting of the non-voluntary license is found, by the granting authority, to be necessary to safeguard a national purpose deemed to be vital by that authority; the non-voluntary license shall be available for exploitation only in the territory of that country and shall be subject to the payment of an equitable remuneration by the third party to the holder of the right. |
|
| （一）虽有第一款的规定，但任何缔约方均可在其立法中规定其行政或者司法机关有可能在非通常的情况下，对于第三者按商业惯例经过努力而未能取得权利持有人许可并不经其许可而进行第一款所述的任何行为，授予非独占许可（非自愿许可），而该机关认为授予非自愿许可对于维护其视为重大的国家利益是必要的；该非自愿许可仅供在该国领土上实施并应以第三者向权利持有人支付公平的补偿费为条件。
|
|
| (b) The provisions of this Treaty shall not affect the freedom of any Contracting Party to apply measures, including the granting, after a formal proceeding by its executive or judicial authority, of a non-voluntary license, in application of its laws in order to secure free competition and to prevent abuses by the holder of the right. |
|
| （二）本条约的规定不应影响任何缔约方在适用其旨在保障自由竞争和防止权利持有人滥用权利的法律方面采取措施的自由，包括按正规程序由其行政或者司法机关授予非自愿许可。
|
|
| (c) The granting of any non-voluntary license referred to in subparagraph
(a) or subparagraph (b) shall be subject to judicial review. Any non-voluntary license referred to in subparagraph
(a) shall be revoked when the conditions referred to in that subparagraph cease to exist. |
|
| （三）授予本款（一）项或（二）项所述的非自愿许可应当经过司法核查。本款（一）项所述的条件已不复存在时，该项所述的非自愿许可应予以撤销。
|
|
| (4) [Sale and Distribution of Infringing Integrated Circuits Acquired Innocently] Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(a)(ii), no Contracting Party shall be obliged to consider unlawful the performance of any of the acts referred to in that paragraph in respect of an integrated circuit incorporating an unlawfully reproduced layout-design (topography) where the person performing or ordering such acts did not know and had no reasonable ground to know, when acquiring the said integrated circuit, that it incorporates an unlawfully reproduced layout-design (topography).
|
四、［善意获得侵权的集成电路的销售和供销］虽有第一款（一）（2）项的规定，但对于采用非法复制的布图设计（拓朴图）的集成电路而进行的该款所述的任何行为，如果进行或者指示进行该行为的人在获得该集成电路时不知道或者没有合理的依据知道该集成电路包含有非法复制的布图设计（拓朴图），任何缔约方没有义务认为上述行为是非法行为。
|
| (5) [Exhaustion of Rights] Notwithstanding paragraph (1)(a)(ii), any Contracting Party may consider lawful the performance, without the authorization of the holder of the right, of any of the acts referred to in that paragraph where the act is performed in respect of a protected layout-design (topography), or in respect of an integrated circuit in which such a layout-design (topography) is incorporated, that has been put on the market by, or with the consent of, the holder of the right.
|
五、［权利的用尽］虽有第一款（一）（2）项的规定，任何缔约方可以认为，对由权利持有人或者经其同意投放市场的受保护的布图设计（拓朴图）或者采用该布图设计（拓朴图）的集成电路，未经权利持有人的许可而进行该款所述的任何行为是合法行为。
|
