著作权法保护软件的质疑与应策

Impugnation and Countermeasures against Computer Software Protection by Copyright Law

软件是作品的一种形式,但又不同于传统意义上的作品。除具有作品的一般特征之外,软件还具有高度的技术性、工具性等特征。那么,保护作品的著作权法用来保护软件就产生性质矛盾而受到质疑,与此同时专利法、商标法等保护软件的可能性被提上了日程。

Computer software is a form of works, but different from traditional ones. It has the considerable characters of technology and instrumentality besides common characters of works. Therefore,when copyright law usually protecting works is invoked to protect software, the impugnation is rising from attributive contradiction. Against this condition, that other methods such as patent law; mark law protect software will be feasible.
