网络外部性、技术外溢与数字产品创新保护研究

Network Externalities,Technology Spillovers and Research on Digital Product Innovation Protection

分析了数字产品的经济特征和物理特征导致数字产品的竞争性权利缺失和技术外溢,发现传统三维保护框架难以对数字产品创新起到保护作用,通过构建博弈模型研究数字产品创新保护制度设计。研究结果表明:制度设计者应当结合网络外部性和技术外溢特征,设计兼顾创新者利益和社会利益的数字产品创新保护机制,应当结合版权、专利权、反不正当竞争法、合同法、商业秘密法等法律措施对数字产品知识产权特别立法,保护形式、保护力度也要因数字产品类型的不同而异。

This paper analyzes the digital product＇ s economic characteristics and physical characteristics leading to digital products competitive right loss and technology spiUovers, it finds that the traditional three-dimensional framework of protec- tion is difficult to play a protective role of digital product innovation, building the game model to study innovation system for the protection of digital product design. The result shows that system designers should combine with network externalities and technology spillovers characteristics, design the digital products innovatiorL protection mechanism to take into account both innovator benefits and social benefits , and should take special legislation on intellectual property of digital product in com- bination with the copyright, patent, anti-unfair competition law, contract law, commercial secret law and other laws meas- ures, protection form, protection efforts should also vary for different types of digital product.
