中外合作研发项目中的法律风险

Legal Risks in Sino-foreign Cooperative R&D Projects



随着中国在制造业领域的持续追赶和超越,目前已经在汽车制造、电池、机器人、生物制药等多个领域具有很强的竞争力。而且中国还拥有庞大的技术人才库、完整的产业链、相对低廉的采购成本以及巨大的内需市场,作为共同技术研发的合作方,拥有独特的竞争优势。

As China continues to catch up and surpass in the field of manufacturing, it is now competitive in a number of areas such as automobile manufacturing, batteries, robotics, and bio-pharmaceuticals. Moreover, China also possesses a large pool of technical talents, a complete industrial chain, relatively low procurement costs and a huge domestic demand market, which gives it a unique competitive advantage as a co-development partner in joint technology development.


相比于委托开发模式,合作开发需要合作各方共同分享现有技术知识,在此基础上通力合作,最终共享研发成果。但合作的过程中,很难完全做到双方的投入对等,因此容易产生争议。本次讲座将结合实务经验,从外国企业角度,分析中外合作研发项目中涉及的法律风险,包括背景知识产权的权属风险、商业秘密保护、专利侵权风险责任、研发成果的权属和二次开发、技术出口的限制等。此外,主讲人也会分享中外合作研发协议中一些重点条款的起草,为听众提供风险预防建议。

Compared with the commissioned development model, co-development requires the collaborating parties share their existing technological knowledge, laying the groundwork for joint effort and eventual sharing of R&D outcomes. However, achieving an equitable balance in contributions between parties can be challenging, potentially leading to disputes. This seminar will examine the legal risks faced by foreign enterprises in Sino-foreign collaborative R&D projects. Topics will include ownership issues of background IP, protection of trade secrets, liabilities concerning patent infringement risks, rights over R&D outcomes and subsequent developments, as well as constraints on technology exportation—drawing insights from practical experiences. Additionally, the speaker will share how to draft the key clauses within Sino-foreign cooperative R&D agreements and offer advice on mitigating risks to the attendees.
