Article 25(1)When the holder of a layout design license or the holder of an exclusive (layout design) license claims against an infringer for compensation for damages caused as a result of intentional or negligent infringement of their own layout design license or exclusive (layout design) license, and if the infringer has earned profits from such act of infringement, the amount of profits earned by the infringer is presumed to be the amount of damage sustained by the holder of a layout design license or the holder of an exclusive (layout design) license.
回路配置利用権者又は専用利用権者は、故意又は過失により自己の回路配置利用権又は専用利用権を侵害した者に対し、その登録回路配置の利用に対し通常受けるべき金銭の額に相当する額の金銭を、自己が受けた損害の額としてその賠償を請求することができる。
(2)The holder of a layout design license or the holder of an exclusive (layout design) license may claim against an infringer for an amount equivalent to the amount the holder normally gains through the exploitation of the registered layout-design, by regarding said amount to be the compensation for damages caused as a result of the intentional or negligent infringement of their layout design license or exclusive (layout design) license.
前項の規定は、同項に規定する金額を超える損害の賠償の請求を妨げない。この場合において、回路配置利用権又は専用利用権を侵害した者に故意又は重大な過失がなかつたときは、裁判所は、損害の賠償の額を定めるについて、これを参酌することができる。
(3)The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not prevent any claim of compensation for damages in an amount exceeding the amount prescribed therein.In this case, when, with regard to the infringer of a layout design license or an exclusive (layout design) license, there was neither intent nor gross negligence, the court may take these circumstances into consideration in determining the amount of damages.
(書類の提出)
(Production of Documents)
第二十六条裁判所は、回路配置利用権又は専用利用権の侵害に係る訴訟においては、当事者の申立てにより、当事者に対し、当該侵害の行為による損害の計算をするため必要な書類の提出を命ずることができる。ただし、その書類の所持者においてその提出を拒むことについて正当な理由があるときは、この限りでない。
Article 26In litigation concerning the infringement of a layout design license or an exclusive (layout design) license, the court may, upon the motion of a party, order the other party to produce documents required to calculate the damages caused by the relevant act of infringement; provided, however, that this does not apply where there are legitimate grounds for the person possessing the documents to refuse production of the documents.
