信息产品交易和知识产权保护

Transaction of Information Products and Protection of Intellectual Property Rights

信息产品进入市场之所以可能出现盗版假冒等免费搭车行为,除了其复制成本低外,还因为其具有公共产品的特征。竞争性的市场机制在处理公共产品方面的困难是显而易见的,需要非市场机制的作用,特别是政府的干预。干预方式有三个方面:1.政府提供信息;2.对私人信息产品的生产提供补贴;3.信息产权的建立和保护。其中知识产权保护制度可以在制度上保障支付了信息成本的获得相应的收益,从制度上推动技术的进步。

When information products enter the market, it is probably to come across piracy and fake ones, because they have the features of public products aside from the low cost for reproduction. Obviously, a contending market mechanism has difficulties in handling public products, and a function of non-market mechanism, especially the government＇s interference, is necessary.There are three ways of such interference. Firstly, the government supplies information. Secondly, subsidies are provided to the private information products. Thirdly, it is necessary to establish and protect information property rights. The system of intellectual property rights can ensure that the payment of information cost will accordingly acquire profit, and can promote technical progress.
