版式设计权存废辨

Preservation or Abolishment of Format Design Right

版式设计权的保护并无国际公约依据,仅有的几个国家关于版式设计的立法亦殊为不同,我国学界关于版式设计权的存废以及法律适用存在广泛争议。现行技术背景下,纯文本版式设计包含的劳动投入小、市场价值不大、无需单独保护;专有出版权、汇编作品著作权、反不正当竞争法等可以有效规制对版本的原样盗印;具有独创性的图文版式设计可以作为美术作品受到著作权保护,无需另行规定。《著作权法修正案》维持关于版式设计的规定值得商榷,相关条款均可删除。

There is no international convention basis for the protection of format design right, with only some different legislation on format design existing in several countries.There are extensive disputes on the preservation or abolition of format design right and the application of law in China.Under the current technical background, the labor input and market value of pure text layout design are too small to be protected separately;exclusive publishing rights, copyright of compilation works and anti-unfair competition law can effectively regulate the pirating of the original version;an original graphic format design can be protected through copyright as an art work without any other provisions.The provisions on format design maintained in the Copyright Law Amendment are open to discussion, and the relevant provisions can be deleted.
