台灣科技業代工廠常面臨購買合法來源零組件，仍無法擺脫專利侵權控訴之命運，亦或常居於談判地位劣勢之被授權方角色，只能接受授權方完全排除自身擔保責任之契約條款，導致國內廠商始終擺脫不了高額權利金及侵權損害賠償金之累。本論文之核心研究問題，即在於探討如何在專利授權之架構下，降低未來潛在之第三人侵權責任風險？並區分法律制度層面、契約設計層面、管理制度層面，三個面向進行探討，嘗試提出可行之風險管控策略。個案研究方面，選擇美國最高法院Quanta v. LG專利侵權訴訟案，此案受各界宣稱為近期美國司法界對於專利制度最具指標性之判決，本論文透過判決評析探求美國法院見解真意，並在此架構下，提出個人意見及看法，進而對於專利權人未來之策略轉變，以及台灣代工業者應之因應方式提出建議。 1、法律制度面管控： 被控侵權者可運用專利制度下賦予專利權本質上限制之「專利權耗盡原則」，衡平原則發展下之「默示授權原則」，以及「再授權理論」對於專利權人之權利主張限制，以達降低侵權責任成立之風險。美國法下針對專利權耗盡原則及默示授權原則發展出多種態樣，惟其是否於個案中有所適用空間，往往仍取決於授權契約條款之解釋，此即彰顯出事先明確定義授權條款之重要性。 2、契約設計面管控： 由於我國法與美國法下對於專利授權契約定性上之差異，進而推衍出我國法下相較於美國法較加重授權人責任之結果，是以我國學說有主張當被授權人因運用授權標的遭受第三人主張侵權時，應準用民法瑕疵擔保規定使授權人承負一定責任者；反之，美國學說則普遍否認授權人存在有此等法定契約責任，此亦和雙方政策選擇保護立場互異之結果不謀而合。惟在現階段實務及學說對於授權人是否承擔被授權人之侵權瑕疵擔保責任尚無定見之下，以契約條款預先分配侵權風險最可達成管控風險之目的。美國企業之授權契約發展已十分成熟，與侵權責任分配相關之典型條款，如：授權條款、聲明擔保條款、補償條款，均存有許多附隨之細節需於契約設計談判時預先留意。惟若於契約條款中無法獲得有利於己之責任分配模式，即應評估風險性高低，決定是否採行其他之風險管控方式，如：專利侵權責任保險、企業自行提撥風險準備金、進行專利侵權訴訟評估與管理等。 3、管理制度面管控： 授權做為專利眾多換價模式之一，其背後最終之目的即在於具體落實為企業利潤收益，自然無法背離商業策略思維而獨立運作。國內現階段之專利授權實務發展成效不彰，其原因即在於國內普遍認為授權是單純法律之範疇，而未於企業內建立一套完備之授權管理制度。事實上，授權契約設計亦應與智財行銷要素、商業模式建構要素，以及企業營運流程相互配套，藉由平時有效之管理制度，方能確實將侵權風險防患於未然。 4、個案判決評析結論： 國內代工業者Quanta雖於本案中獲得最終勝訴判決，可說是貫徹了美國最高法院近年來持續傾向限縮專利權人權能之見解。然其是否代表台灣代工業者獲得了完全的勝利？往後不需再為合法採購之零件是否侵權一事苦惱？本論文採取保留之態度。因本案判決事實上僅圍繞在判斷LG與Intel授權範圍之解釋，並未對於能否以契約條款限制專利權耗盡原則表示見解。且本案判決出爐後，專利權人未來勢必轉變其授權策略，亦可預見其授權條款將更趨嚴苛，以規避判決中劃定之界限。台灣代工廠商實應謹慎集思因應策略以對。 / Taiwan OEMs are often situated in the role as licensees with inferior bargaining power when negotiated license agreements with foreign companies, and usually had no choice but to accept unfair contract terms. Therefore, Taiwan companies cannot get ride of high royalties and infringement penalty for all these years. This paper aims to discuss how to reduce potential patent infringement risk under the license system. The discussion will be elaborated from three aspects: Legal, Contract, and Management, and it will also try to propose some feasible risk management strategies. Furthermore, the paper will include a case study on Quanta v. LG, which is believed to be the most significant patent infringement case in United States Supreme Court in 2008.Through the analysis of Court opinions, the thesis then proposes some different suggestions about conversion of the patentee’ license strategies and how Taiwan OEMs should cope with the change in the future. 1.Legal Aspect: The defendant of a infringement case can apply for the doctrine of patent exhaustion, implied license, and sublicense. These doctrines are derived from patent right essential limitation. The U.S. law develops a lot of different models of patent exhaustion and implied license. It often depends on the interpretation of the terms of license agreement whether theses doctrines should be applied to individual case. This demonstrates the importance of precise definition and arrangement of contracts in advance. 2.Contract Aspect: The contract qualification of patent license agreement are different in Taiwan Law and the U.S. Law. Taiwan law intensifies licensor’s liability than American Law. Some Taiwan theories consider that when the licensee is accused of infringement because of the use of licensed articles, the licensor should have liability corresponding to the liability of warranty against defects in Civil Law. On the contrary, the majority of American theories deny such contract liability from law of licensor. Such difference corresponds to the different policies adopted in both countries. Since the defect warranty liability of the licensors are still in dispute, it will be the best way for risk management to distribute the infringement liability of both parties in contract explicitly. License agreement research has been fully developed in the U.S.. Grant Clause, Representations & Warranties and Indemnifications are all accompanied with details to be concerned. If the corporation unfortunately cannot obtain favorable clauses for its own side, it should evaluate risk to decide should it adopt another way for risk control, such as insurance, setting up risk reserves or litigation management. 3.Management Aspect: License is one of business models for corporation to make profit from patent. Its main purpose is to realize intangible patents into tangible profit. Accordingly, licensing strategy cannot be apart from commercial strategies. Patent license practice is still immature in Taiwan. Domestic corporations generally consider license as only a legal issue and do not properly construct a management system. In fact, license agreement design is a multidisciplinary subject and should coordinate with IP marketing strategies, business model, and enterprise operation procedure. Effective management system can establish necessary precautions against infringement liabilities. 4.Case Study: United States Supreme Court finally decided in favor of Quanta, Taiwan OEM, in Quanta v. LG case. The judgment does not mean a complete victory for Taiwan OEMs and neither did it indicate that the manufacturers do not need to bother for patent infringement by combining licensed components. Because the Court opinion only focuses within the scope of the license agreement by LG to Intel, without mentioning about if license conditions could break free of the doctrine of patent exhaustion. Furthermore, the stricter license conditions from the licensor is expectable after this case. Taiwan OEMs should make their best to find a solution.

Marier Mars et Thémis. La tâche semble être difficile, tant la matière est vaste. Le droit militaire est souvent source de droit pénal. Or, le droit privé est également concerné par le statut de militaire. Sa personne fait l’objet de règles de droit tout à fait spécifique du fait de sa position sociale.De l’Antiquité à nos jours, le militaire a bénéficié de règles qui sortent du droit commun. Son statut très particulier nécessite l’élaboration de lois qui correspondent à la situation ordinaire qui est la sienne, lorsqu’il remplit sa mission d’utilité publique, la défense de la République, les armes à la main, éloigné de son domicile, en campagne. La mort fait partie du quotidien du militaire et doit être constatée de la façon la plus précise, afin d’éviter tout risque d’instabilité juridique qui pourrait être générée par le retour du militaire, finalement vivant. / Marry Mars and Thémis. The task seems difficult because of the largest of the matter. The military law is often source of military criminal law. Civil law is also concerned by the statute of the soldier. The person of the soldier form the subject of very special rules in fact of his social position.From Antiquity to ours day, the soldier has enjoyed of rules who geft off the common law. His very special status require a working-out of law who square with his ordinary situation, when he fulfils his public utility work, the defense of the Republic, arms in hands, far away from his home, in military campaign. Death is part of ordinary life of the soldier and have to be recognized as the most accurate to avoid legal instability that could be generated by the return of the military, finally living.

Embora os direitos de Propriedade Intelectual (PI) sejam supostamente instituídos de forma a fomentar a inovação e o bem-estar em longo prazo, seu uso pode ensejar comportamentos oportunistas e abusivos como os Artigos 8.2 e 40 do TRIPS expressamente admitem. Sempre que tal tipo de comportamento afetar a concorrência em determinado mercado excluindo concorrentes, impondo barreiras à entrada, prejudicando consumidores por meio de aumento de preços ou redução da oferta o Direito de Concorrência será chamado a intervir. Considerando tais questões, o objetivo desse trabalho é identificar um quadro de trabalho brasileiro para tratar de questões envolvendo questões de Direito de Concorrência relacionadas à Propriedade Intelectual. O autor buscou delinear os conceitos de uso abusivo de direitos de Propriedade Intelectual, Dominação de Mercado por meio de uso da Propriedade Intelectual e de abuso de posição dominante, considerando o novo quadro regulatório introduzido pela Lei 12.259/2001. / While intellectual property (IP) rights are usually claimed to be designed to foster innovation and welfare in the long run, their use may give rise to opportunistic, abusive behavior - as Articles 8.2 and 40 of TRIPS openly admit. Whenever such sort of behavior affects competition in a given market - whether by dislodging competitors, imposing barriers to entry, harming costumers, raising prices or reducing output - competition law is called to intervene. Considering these issues, the purpose of this paper is to identify a Brazilian legal framework for dealing with IP related competition issues. The author sought to draw the legal concepts of abusive of IP rights, market domination and abuse of dominant position considering the new regulatory framework introduced by Law 12.259/2011.

O problema é que a disponibilidade desse direito, através do contrato de licença de uso de imagem, volta-se geralmente apenas para o aspecto econômico da pessoa em si, não para a valorização da pessoa humana. Dessa forma, impõem a pesquisa e a reflexão sobre o direito à imagem, o qual é considerado um direito de personalidade, com vistas à sua integral proteção. A imagem do jogador de futebol, como sendo um excelente apelo à publicidade, ganhou tamanha importância que a sua imagem chega a se relacionar com o próprio contrato de trabalho, sendo muitas vezes confundido com este. Assim, torna-se necessário delinear os contornos essenciais do direito à imagem, ainda mais por ser um direito típico, reconhecido e protegido pela legislação, não se confundindo com outros direitos da personalidade, em face da sua autonomia. Como o direito à imagem é um direito de personalidade, buscou-se, após uma análise dos direitos de personalidade, obter uma nova dimensão desse direito, centrado na pessoa humana e não no patrimônio, a qual compreenderá as soluções para as lesões ao direito à imagem. E, através do fenômeno da repersonalização do direito privado, deve-se ter o princípio da dignidade da pessoa humana como valor guia e princípio supremo da ordem jurídica. Portanto, pretende-se que o direito à imagem do atleta profissional de futebol, venha a ser concretamente protegido pela cláusula geral de tutela e promoção da pessoa humana, com um deslocamento conceitual rumo à pessoa concreta do atleta, principalmente quando se fala na disponibilidade relativa do exercício do direito à imagem tão claramente na imagem dos atletas de futebol. / The thesis is developed in order to demonstrate the importance of legal protection of the image of professional football player because of technological advances, which carry to situations of risk to human personality, as well as this work researches the possible availability of this right of personality. The problem is that the availability of that right, through the license agreement for the use of the image, usually is focused only about the economic aspect of the person itself, not valuing the human being. Therefore, it is required a research and a study about the right of the image, which is understood as a right of personality, in regard of its full protection. The image of a football player, as being a good call for advertising, has gained such importance that his image is related to his own employment contract, and not rarely it is mixed up with this. Thus, it is necessary to point out the essential characteristics on the right of the image, especially because this is distinctive right, recognized and protected by law, not being confused with other rights of personality, for its autonomy. As the right of the image a right of personality, the present work has sought, after an analysis of the rights of personality, a new aspect of this right, focusing on the human being and not on the wealth, that includes solutions for the injuries that may happen in the right of the image. And, through the phenomenon of the repersonalization of the private law, one must have the principle of human dignity as a guide value and supreme principle of the law. Consequently, it is intended that the right of the image of the professional football player will become specifically protected by the general principle of the protection and the promotion of the human being, with a conceptual turn towards the concrete person of the athlete, especially when it comes on the relative availability of the exercise of the right of the image so clearly when it regards the football players.

La lecture automatique de plaques d’immatriculation de véhicule est considérée comme une approche de surveillance de masse. Elle permet, grâce à la détection /localisation ainsi que la reconnaissance optique, d’identifier un véhicule dans les images ou les séquences d’images. De nombreuses applications comme le suivi du trafic, la détection de véhicules volés, le télépéage ou la gestion d’entrée / sortie des parkings utilise ce procédé. Or malgré d’important progrès enregistré depuis l’apparition des premiers prototypes en 1979 accompagné d’un taux de reconnaissance parfois impressionnant, notamment grâce aux avancés en recherche scientifique et en technologie des capteurs, les contraintes imposés pour le bon fonctionnement de tels systèmes en limitent les portées. En effet, l’utilisation optimale des techniques de localisation et de reconnaissance de plaque d’immatriculation dans les scénarii opérationnels nécessite des conditions d’éclairage contrôlées ainsi qu’une limitation dans de la pose, de vitesse ou tout simplement de type de plaque. La lecture automatique de plaques d’immatriculation reste alors un problème de recherche ouvert. La contribution majeure de cette thèse est triple. D’abord une nouvelle approche robuste de localisation de plaque d’immatriculation dans des images ou des séquences d’images est proposée. Puis, l’amélioration de la qualité des plaques localisées est traitée par une adaptation de technique de super-résolution. Finalement, un modèle unifié de localisation et de super-résolution est proposé permettant de diminuer la complexité temporelle des deux approches combinées. / Automatic reading of vehicle license plates is considered an approach to mass surveillance. It allows, through the detection / localization and optical recognition to identify a vehicle in the images or video sequences. Many applications such as traffic monitoring, detection of stolen vehicles, the toll or the management of entrance/ exit parking uses this method. Yet in spite of important progress made since the appearance of the first prototype sin 1979, with a recognition rate sometimes impressive thanks to advanced science and sensor technology, the constraints imposed for the operation of such systems limit laid. Indeed, the optimal use of techniques for localizing and recognizing license plates in operational scenarios requiring controlled lighting conditions and a limitation of the pose, velocity, or simply type plate. Automatic reading of vehicle license plates then remains an open research problem. The major contribution of this thesis is threefold. First, a new approach to robust license plate localization in images or image sequences is proposed. Then, improving the quality of the plates is treated with a localized adaptation of super-resolution technique. Finally, a unified model of location and super-resolution is proposed to reduce the time complexity of both approaches combined.

This thesis presents flott, the Fast Low Memory T-Transform, the currently fastest and most memory efficient linear time and space algorithm available to compute the string complexity measure T-complexity. The flott algorithm uses 64.3% less memory and in our experiments runs asymptotically 20% faster than its predecessor. A full C-implementation is provided and published under the Apache Licence 2.0. From the flott algorithm two deterministic information measures are derived and applied to Android app store security. The derived measures are the normalized T-complexity distance and the instantaneous T-complexity rate which are used to detect, locate, and visualize unusual information changes in Android applications. The information measures introduced present a novel, scalable approach to assist with the detection of malware in app stores. / Graduate

This study is to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial activities on teaching at universities. Specifically, the study focuses on entrepreneurial activities' effect on professors' time allocation. The dataset analyzed was constructed from the survey conducted by University of Illinois at Chicago in 1998. The sample was drawn from American academic professional associations' members of the four fields: experimental biology, physics, mathematics, and sociology. Based on the data of 133 professors, the study shows that professors with paid consulting work tend to spend less time in teaching when research activities are controlled. Insignificant are the other variables about entrepreneurial activities: patent application, industry funding, and research collaboration with industry. Also, more research time is likely to result in less teaching time. Insignificant are the other research-related variables: research funding at large and collaborative research in general. In terms of personal and institutional conditions, assistant professors tend to invest more time in teaching than senior professors, but they are likely to reduce more time on teaching than their senior counterparts for increasing research time. Finally, biology and sociology professors tend to allocate less time to teaching than physics and mathematics professors. In a word, entrepreneurial activities and research tend to conflict with teaching at the level of individual professors' time allocation.
