论著作权集体管理组织的反垄断规制

Study on Antitrust Regulation of Copyright Collective Management Organizations

由工商行政管理总局牵头起草的《禁止滥用知识产权排除、限制竞争行为的规定(征求意见稿)》第14条细化了反垄断法在规制著作权集体管理组织的作用和调整对象。但对于如何认定集体管理组织滥用市场支配地位,以及如何协调著作权法与反垄断法在规制集体管理组织垄断行为时的关系问题,立法者和学界的认识存在偏差。鉴于集体管理组织在平衡著作权法各主体利益上的制度功能,应优先适用著作权法专门性监督。反垄断一般执法作为补充,可在专门性监督无法有效发挥作用时,在个别情况下适用。

State Administration for Industry and Commerce of the People＇s Republic of China has drafted ＂Act of Prohibition of Abuse of Intellectual Property Rights to Eliminate or Restrict Competition＂, art. 14 of which specifies the role and object of Antitrust Law to regulate copyright collective management organization（CMOs）. However, there exist different perceptions on the identification of abuse of the market dominant position of CMOs and the relations coordination between Copyright Law and Antitrust Law when regulates the monopolistic behavior of CMOs. Taking into account the function of CMOs to balance the interests of each party of Copyright Law, it is suggested that the specialized supervision of Copyright Law should be applied preferentially, and complemented by general enforcement of Antitrust Law in individual cases when specialized supervision is unable to play an effective role.
