民族传统知识的法律保护初探

The Legal Protection of National Traditional Knowledge

当前,我国民族传统知识的法律保护面临着相当严重的问题,《著作权法》、《文物保护法》、《商标法》、《专利法》等法律对民族传统知识的保护都不充分,存在诸多困难与不足。为此,我国应根据民族传统知识的特征,制定和完善保护民族传统知识的国内法和民族自治地方自治条例,在保护目的、权利主体和客体、内容、期限、侵权行为及其责任等方面做出明确规定,进而有力地保护与促进民族传统知识的正常利用和可持续发展。

Nowadays severe problems exist in the legal protection of national traditional knowledge. 《Copyright Law of the People＇s Republic of China》 , 《 Law of the People＇s Republic of China on the Protection of Cultural Relics》, 《Trademark Law of the People＇s Republic of China》and 《Patent Law of the People＇s Republic of China》provide inefficient protection for traditional knowledge. Therefore, according to the characteristic of national traditional knowledge, the government should constitute and perfect the national law and the legislation in autonomous regions to keep the sustainable development of national traditional knowledge. The legislation should clarify the purpose of protection, subject and object of right, content, availability, tort and obligation.
