Institute for Internet Policy & Law @ Beijing Normal University

2023年4月17日18点北师大全球发展战略合作伙伴项目国际专家网络讲座第六讲隆重举行。主讲人为来自该项目国际合作单位联合国国际贸易法委员会负责电子商务工作组的Luca Castellani博士，法学院院长梁迎修教授作为致辞嘉宾，介绍了北师大与联合国国际贸易法委员会长期的合作关系、联合主办的国际活动，并表达了继续与之合作发展的良好愿望。本次讲座由法学院薛虹教授担任主持人和评议人。薛虹教授介绍了Castellani博士在联合国专门机构工作二十余年，积累了关于国际立法工作的丰富经验，参与多部联合国电子商务领域的示范法起草、谈判、解释、修订工作，为国际贸易法发展作出贡献。

Castellani博士讲解了联合国国际贸易法委员会的重要地位和发展数字贸易的重要作用。数字贸易需要适宜的法律环境，特别是协调的国际法律标准。数字贸易涉及交易、安全保障、数据、隐私、网络犯罪、消费者保护、知识产权等各方面的法律问题。各国通过加入国际条约或适用国际示范法可以保证法律之间的和谐统一。联合国电子商务示范法、电子签名示范法、国际合同使用电子通信公约、电子可转移记录示范法及身份管理和可信服务的使用及跨境互认示范法都是联合国在统一协调数字贸易法律体系的重要努力。Castellani博士比较详尽地介绍了可转移记录示范法的有关内容，强调单证的电子化对于数字化的国际贸易具有促进和保障作用。电子化的单证在单一性、可控性、占有性方面都发生了变化，必须采用有效的法律机制才能避免电子单证的滥用，保障交易安全。联合国可转移记录示范法得到了广泛的认可与多国的采纳。Castellani博士还介绍了最新的联合国身份管理和可信服务的使用及跨境互认示范法的有关情况。该示范法为各国发展电子身份管理系统和可信服务提供了统一的原则和法律框架，奠定了有关跨境互认和国际合作的基础。联合国国际贸易法委员会还在探索其他数字贸易领域的国际立法，并注重与自由贸易协定等其他国际法律体制的协调发展。

薛虹教授感谢主讲人深入浅出的讲解，介绍了中国采纳电子化可转移记录的经验，强调在数字贸易、物联网等新兴领域进行国际规则、标准合作的重要性。评议人和主讲人就有关国际法律问题进行了深入的探讨和交流。来自中国、法国、意大利、刚果等8个国家的中国法硕士项目的留学生、外国交换生、法律硕士生、法学博士生共计二十余人参加了讲座，并对讲座质量给予高度评价。

第133届广交会（春交会）期间，作为第二届珠江国际贸易论坛的主题论坛之一，首届“贸易数字化创新发展论坛”于4月15日在广交会展馆成功举办。商务部国际贸易谈判代表兼副部长王受文、广东省副省长张新出席论坛并致辞，世界贸易组织副总干事张向晨发表视频致辞。王副部长表示，近年来，商务部会同相关部门积极推动单一窗口建设，制定粤港澳大湾区全球贸易数字化领航区建设方案，开展贸易数字化指标体系研究，推动货物贸易数字化发展取得积极成效。商务部坚持“让数据多跑路、让企业少跑腿”，在深入推进贸易管理、贸易方式等数字化的同时，还将深入研究、积极推进贸易环节、贸易服务、贸易主体的数字化赋能升级。

本次论坛由商务部和广东省人民政府共同主办，中国工商银行支持，商务部配额许可证事务局、中国对外贸易中心、广东省商务厅和中国工商银行广东省分行联合承办，中国对外经济贸易统计学会、中国电子商会协办。薛虹教授作为国家贸易数字化专家委员会委员受邀参加此次论坛，并与嘉宾进行了热烈的交流。来自政府部门、研究机构、高等院校、商协学会和企业的嘉宾围绕论坛主题深入探讨、建言献策。

2023年4月6日第13届社科仲裁圆桌会议“纠纷解决中的数据跨境调取法律问题”在国际商会大厦举行，会议由中国海事仲裁委员会、中国社科院国际法研究所涉外法治研究中心主办。会议旨在对不同法域间诉讼与仲裁场景下的数据跨境调取的法律依据、调取程序、主管机关、阻断法定事由等问题展开研讨。来自司法部、仲裁机构、科研机构、高校、互联网企业、律师事务所等实务与理论部门的专家参加了此次研讨。

中国海仲副主任李虎，中国社会科学院国际法研究所副所长、涉外法治研究中心主任柳华文出席会议并致开幕辞。李虎副主任提出，纠纷解决中的数据跨境调取牵涉很多法律问题，目前国内法规制和国际法规制都不够充分。随着网上仲裁、在线调解等在线纠纷解决程序日益常态化，探讨其中数据跨境调取的法律问题很有意义，颇具前瞻性。解决跨境数据调取还需要国际协同，要努力推动在国际更广阔范围内达成共识，形成大家比较接受的标准或指南。

薛虹教授对比了欧盟与中国的数据跨境流动规则，并结合国际仲裁领域跨境数据存取的证据规则分享了体会，提出了通过技术手段解决数据出境中的管辖权冲突的方案设想，并与同行进行了交流。

Beijing Normal University Global Development Strategic Partnership Project

外国专家讲座 第五讲

Foreign Expert Virtual Lecture Series Lecture 5

Gauging Patent Impacts on Post-Pandemic World Trade

In Memory of 2022 UNCITRAL Asia and the Pacific Day

日期：2022年11月21，UTC +8:00 18:00-21:00

Zoom Virtual Conference System

主持人: Prof. Hong Xue, Beijing Normal University

主讲人: Madam Wu Xiaoping，Counselor in the Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Division of the World Trade Organization

Topic: Innovation and Patenting Activities of COVID-19 Vaccines in WTO Members: Analytical Review of Medicines Patent Pool (MPP) COVID-19 Vaccines Patent Landscape (VaxPaL)

At the beginning, Prof. Xue introduced the close collaboration with the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law (UNCITRAL), which was established under the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 2205 (XXI) of 17 December 1966 and has been the core legal body of the United Nations system in the field of international trade law. The UNCITRAL Regional Centre for Asia and the Pacific (RCAP) launched from 2014 the UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Day (AP Day) academic series to promote awareness of international trade standards and norms, particularly those endorsed by UNCITRAL, among law students. The UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Day is an annual flagship academic series. In 2021, an initial 34 universities and institutions across the Asia-Pacific region in 13 jurisdictions have joined the annual celebration by co-hosting a series of academic events with UNCITRAL RCAP.

2022 marks a very special occasion as RCAP celebrates its 10th anniversary. The main theme of the UNCITRAL Asia Pacific Day 2022 is “RCAP@10: The Next 10 Years of Legal Harmonization in the Region”. Prof. Xue elaborated that world trade, including IP trade, is being affected the COVID-19 pandemic. Vaccination is the most powerful tool to safeguard public health and trade environment.

Mrs. Wu was invited as an IP expert and giving the Lecture in her personal capacity for educational purpose only. Mrs. Xiaoping Wu is Counsellor in the Intellectual Property, Government Procurement and Competition Division of the World Trade Organization (WTO) from 2006. She undertakes work in the area of the WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS Agreement), with a focus on patent-related policy issues and review of WTO Members’ national intellectual property legislation. She also takes part in WTO technical assistance and capacity building programs on intellectual property and TRIPS to developing counties.

Mrs. Wu presented a WTO on-going research project to analyze and review COVID-19 vaccine patent landscape. The research provides a statistical analysis of 74 patent families which cover subject matter relevant to ten COVID-19 vaccines. These vaccines have accounted for 99% of the global COVID-19 vaccine production as of 31 December 2021, comprising over ten billion doses. Eight of them have been approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) for inclusion in its Emergency Use Listing (EUL). The analysis is based on a COVID-19 vaccines patent database developed by the Medicines Patent Pool (MPP). Through the detailed examination of patent applicants, filing dates, and offices of first and subsequent filing, the paper identifies patterns and trends of innovation and patenting activities of COVID-19 vaccines in WTO Members, and presents the legal status of the 74 patent families in 105 jurisdictions. The research provides the useful background information for policymakers on the significance and potential impact of these patent families with relevance to the access to and production of these vaccines in their individual countries. The research aims to support evidence-based assessments regarding potential options within and beyond the current TRIPS framework to promote equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.

More than 20 BNU LLM, JM and PhD students from China, France, Italy, Russia, Congo and Uganda joined the Virtual Lecture and raised many questions to the Lecturers. The officers from UNCITRAL and RCAP also joined the Lecture virtually from Vienna and Incheon. The Lecture that enriched the participants’ understanding on the COVID-19 vaccine patent global distribution and legal impacts hailed as huge success.

2022年11月21日北京师范大学全球发展战略合作伙伴项目外国专家网络讲座第五讲在隆重举行，由薛虹教授主持。

薛教授首先介绍了与UNCITRAL的密切的合作关系及联合国国际贸易法委员会（UNCITRAL）亚太日20周年纪念活动，并邀请在世贸组织知识产权、政府采购与竞争部门工作的吴小平女士作客座演讲。吴女士系以个人身份为教育目的进行的演讲。

吴女士介绍了世贸组织今年早些时候基于MPP之COVID-19疫苗专利数据库进行的专项研究。该研究分析了10种针对COVID-19的疫苗涉及的74个专利族、开发所用的四种技术平台以及它们的全球生产现状，描述了与10种COVID-19疫苗相关的创新和专利活动的模式和趋势，包括专利申请人、申请日、受理首次申请及后续申请的专利局，并以图表的形式进行了清晰的呈现。本次研究的目的是在复杂的专利数据中得出与法律和技术有关的信息，为政策制定者提供有用的背景资料，说明这些专利族对各个国家获得和生产这些疫苗的重要性和潜在影响，将有助于对当前《与贸易有关的知识产权协定》的框架的备选方案进行实际评估，以促进公平获得针对COVID-19的疫苗。

来自中国、法国、意大利、俄罗斯、乌干达、刚果的中国法硕士项目研究生、法学硕士研究生、法律硕士研究生、法学博士研究生20余人参加了网络讲座，并与主讲教授进行了长时间的生动交流互动。UNCITRAL及RCAP的官员从维也纳与仁川网络参加了讲座。通过此次的专题讲座活动，我校法学院师生对与新冠肺炎疫苗有关的专利全球分布及其法律影响有了进一步的认识，这次活动的成功举办收获了师生的一致好评。
