In practice, protection is offered to a patent owner not only in civil proceedings, but also in administrative and criminal proceedings. The law & economics theory teaches that from the perspective of economic reasoning, criminal enforcement is needed only if the offender does not internalize in full the costs of his violation in civil proceedings. The aim of the article is to analyze the question of reasonableness of patent protection in criminal proceedings. The analysis is conducted from two aspects: the aspect of economic analysis of law as well as the aspect of regulation of this question in practice - by comparing differences in how the matter is addressed in some continental and common law jurisdictions. On the basis of this analysis the author also prepared some suggestions for future regulation of this issue in Slovenian legal systemPatent je pravica intelektualne lastnine, ki varuje izum. Njegovo varstvo se primarno zagotavlja v civilnih postopkih, sekundarno pa na upravnem in kazenskem področju. Teorija ekonomske analize prava ugotavlja, da kazenskopravno varstvo (ekonomsko gledano) ni potrebno, kadar je mogoče s civilnim postopkom doseči, da storilec internalizira stroške kaznivega dejanja. Namen prispevka je analiza vprašanja, ali je kazenskopravno varstvo v primeru kršitve patenta sploh smiselno, pri čemer avtorica temelje postavi s teoretičnim konceptom smiselnosti kazenskopravnega varstva patentov ter primerjavo dveh modelov kazenskopravnega varstva v praksi - kontinentalnega sistema in sistema common law, ki problematiko različno obravnavata.
