国家运动员肖像权的法律探析——刘翔肖像权案引起的法律思考

Thinking on the Portrait Right of Chinese Athletes from Legal View-Discussion on the Case of Chinese Fa-mous Athlete Liu Xiang

以刘翔肖像权案为引子,就肖像权的归属与形象权构想、侵害肖像权行为的构成要件及合理使用、肖像权与著作权的“冲突”3个相关法律问题作了分析。认为国家运动员的肖像权应该属于运动员本人,提倡设定形象权;取消“以营利为目的使用肖像”作为侵犯肖像权行为的构成要件;肖像作品的著作权与肖像权只是形式上的竞合,不存在实质意义上的冲突,应该平等保护。

The article analyzed the case of Liu Xiang＇ s right to portrait and three legal problems about it. The authors considered that national athletes＇ rights of portrait belong to athletes, and called for creating the right of publicity. Constitutive requirement of infringing act of right to portrait shouldn＇t include ＂using portraiture with commercial purpose＂. There isn＇ t an actual conflict between the copyright and the portraiture right, but two concurrent rights formally. So we should protect them equally.
