论我国民法上的发现权——兼论将发现权作为科学领域荣誉权的理论构想

On the Discovery Right in Civil Law of China——With Theoretical Proposition to Take the Discovery Right as a Right of Honor in the Field of Science

我国民法上的发现权制度源于前苏联的科技成果权中的发现权制度,《民法通则》将其纳入知识产权体系是立法错位的遗留问题。发现权在性质上不是知识产权,我国司法实务对发现权的定性实为科学领域的荣誉权。建议以《人格权法》起草为契机,将发现权改造为一种科学领域的荣誉权,纳入人格权体系,对发现的判断标准、发现人的确认、发现权的内容和适用范围作出明确规定。

The rule of discovery right in civil law of China has its origin in the rule of discovery right in the right of scientific and technological achievement system established by the former Soviet Union .It is an unsolved mistake of legislation that the General Principles of Civil Law treats it as an intellectual prop -erty right.Discovery right is not an intellectual property right in nature .The legal practice in China re-gards discovery right as the right of honor in the field of science .It is suggested that the drafting work of Personality Right Law provide an opportunity to transform the discovery right into the right of honor in the field of science , and consolidate it into the system of personality right , and provide a clear regulation in terms of criteria of judging a discovery , determining the discoverer , and the contents and scope of appli-cation of discovery right .
