Article 5Presumption of Amounts for Loss or Damage

第五条(損害の額の推定等)

If a person whose business interests have been harmed by an infringement through unfair competition stated in Article 2, paragraph (1), items (i) through (xvi) or (xxii) (referred to as "infringed party" in this paragraph below) files a claim for compensation for loss or damage suffered due to the infringement against a person that has intentionally or negligently committed the infringement that has harmed business interests (referred to as "infringer" in this paragraph below), and the infringer has transferred things (including electronic or magnetic records; the same applies in this paragraph below) that constitute the act of infringement (including when the infringer has transferred things produced by the act of infringement) or provided services produced by the act of infringement, the total amounts stated in the following items may be fixed as the amount of loss or damage suffered by the infringed party:

第二条第一項第一号から第十六号まで又は第二十二号に掲げる不正競争によって営業上の利益を侵害された者(以下この項において「被侵害者」という。)が故意又は過失により自己の営業上の利益を侵害した者(以下この項において「侵害者」という。)に対しその侵害により自己が受けた損害の賠償を請求する場合において、侵害者がその侵害の行為を組成した物(電磁的記録を含む。以下この項において同じ。)を譲渡したとき(侵害の行為により生じた物を譲渡したときを含む。)、又はその侵害の行為により生じた役務を提供したときは、次に掲げる額の合計額を、被侵害者が受けた損害の額とすることができる。

the amount obtained by multiplying the amount of profit per unit of the things that the infringed party could have sold or the services that the infringed party could have provided if there had been no such act of infringement, by the portion of the quantity of the things transferred or the services provided by the infringer (referred to as "transferred quantity" in the following item) that does not exceed the quantity corresponding to the infringed party's ability to sell those things or provide those services (referred to as "saleable quantity" in the following item) (if there are circumstances that the infringed party is unable to sell the quantity of those things or provide the quantity of those services in whole or in part, the quantity remaining after deducting the quantity corresponding to the circumstances (referred to as "specified quantity" in the following item));

被侵害者がその侵害の行為がなければ販売することができた物又は提供することができた役務の単位数量当たりの利益の額に、侵害者が譲渡した当該物又は提供した当該役務の数量(次号において「譲渡等数量」という。)のうち被侵害者の販売又は提供の能力に応じた数量(同号において「販売等能力相応数量」という。)を超えない部分(その全部又は一部に相当する数量を被侵害者が販売又は提供をすることができないとする事情があるときは、当該事情に相当する数量(同号において「特定数量」という。)を控除した数量)を乗じて得た額

an amount equivalent to the money to be received for the acts prescribed in (a) through (e) below for the respective categories of unfair competition stated in (a) through (e), for any quantity exceeding the saleable quantity that is part of the transferred or specified quantity (excluding cases where it is not established that the infringed party could have permitted the acts prescribed in (a) through (e) below for the respective categories of unfair competition stated in (a) through (e)):

譲渡等数量のうち販売等能力相応数量を超える数量又は特定数量がある場合におけるこれらの数量に応じた次のイからホまでに掲げる不正競争の区分に応じて当該イからホまでに定める行為に対し受けるべき金銭の額に相当する額(被侵害者が、次のイからホまでに掲げる不正競争の区分に応じて当該イからホまでに定める行為の許諾をし得たと認められない場合を除く。)

unfair competition as stated in Article 2, paragraph (1), items (i) or (ii):the use of an indication of goods or business in relation to the infringement;

If a person whose business interests have been harmed by infringement through unfair competition files a claim for compensation for loss or damage caused by another person that intentionally or negligently committed the infringement, and that other person has made a profit through the act of infringement, the amount of such profit is presumed to be the amount of loss or damage suffered by the infringed party.

不正競争によって営業上の利益を侵害された者が故意又は過失により自己の営業上の利益を侵害した者に対しその侵害により自己が受けた損害の賠償を請求する場合において、その者がその侵害の行為により利益を受けているときは、その利益の額は、その営業上の利益を侵害された者が受けた損害の額と推定する。

A person whose business interests have been harmed by infringement through the unfair competition stated in Article 2, paragraph (1), items (i) through (ix), items (xi) through (xvi), item (xix), or item (xxii), may file a claim for compensation for loss or damage against a person that intentionally or negligently committed the infringement. The claim may seek an amount equivalent to what the infringed party should have been entitled to receive for the act prescribed in the following items, as defined in the classification of unfair competition under those items, representing the amount of loss or damage suffered by the infringed party:

第二条第一項第一号から第九号まで、第十一号から第十六号まで、第十九号又は第二十二号に掲げる不正競争によって営業上の利益を侵害された者は、故意又は過失により自己の営業上の利益を侵害した者に対し、次の各号に掲げる不正競争の区分に応じて当該各号に定める行為に対し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。

第二条第一項第二十二号に掲げる不正競争 当該侵害に係る商標の使用

When a court determines the amount of money to be received for any act prescribed in paragraph (1), item (ii), (a) through (e), and the items of the preceding paragraph, the court may consider the compensation that the person whose business interests have been harmed by the infringement would have received if they had reached an agreement on compensation for the act with the person that engaged in unfair competition, on the premise that unfair competition occurred.

裁判所は、第一項第二号イからホまで及び前項各号に定める行為に対し受けるべき金銭の額を認定するに当たっては、営業上の利益を侵害された者が、当該行為の対価について、不正競争があったことを前提として当該不正競争をした者との間で合意をするとしたならば、当該営業上の利益を侵害された者が得ることとなるその対価を考慮することができる。

The provisions of paragraph (3) do not preclude a claim for damages exceeding the amount prescribed in that paragraph. In such cases, if the person that committed the infringement that harmed business interests did not do so intentionally or due to gross negligence, the court may consider this in determining the amount of damages.

第三項の規定は、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、その営業上の利益を侵害した者に故意又は重大な過失がなかったときは、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。
