    内容提要：随着修改后的商标法正式确立相关规则，知识产权侵权惩罚性赔偿的具体适用及其对司法实践的影响越来越受到关注。惩罚性赔偿应以故意侵权为适用条件，情节严重应理解为判断赔偿数额多少的条件。惩罚性赔偿与补偿性赔偿是倍比关系，《商标法》第63条规定的法定赔偿已具有惩罚性赔偿的性质，二者不可并用。法官在审判中不可主动适用惩罚性赔偿，但若原告笼统提出法定赔偿请求，法官也需进行惩罚性的审查。惩罚性理念的引入可望完善法定赔偿制度，为司法实践带来革新。

    关 键 词：知识产权   惩罚性赔偿   法定赔偿 《商标法》第63条

    Abstract: With the establishment of associated regulations in the amendment of Trademark Law, there is an increasing interest in the judicial application of punitive damages for intellectual property infringement. Punitive damages are only applied when there is intentional tort so that gravity of the circumstances should be understood as the criteria of the amount of damages. Punitive damages are involved in the statutory damage of Art.63 of Trademark Law, which cannot be applied at the same time. Instead of applying punitive damages initiatively, judges should examine the punitive nature of damages awards when considering plaintiffs' requests for statutory damages. The introduction of punitive damages is expected to improve the statutory damages system, and will bring innovation to judicial practice.
