版权制度的诞生:从古登堡印刷术到安娜女王法

The Birth of Copyright Law: From Gutenberg Typography to the Statute of Anne

我国的版权制度是近代以来的舶来品。学界对现代版权制度诞生的历史研究仍有诸多不足。通过考察从古登堡印刷术的传播到世界第一部版权法《安娜女王法》的通过,可发现现代版权制度是欧洲近代化的产物,版权制度的直接目的在于促进出版业有序的利益分配,其有赖于古登堡印刷术和出版自由。对现代版权制度诞生历史的考察,有助于我国当前知识产权法律制度的修订和创新驱动发展战略的实施。

To study the birth of the copyright law, contributes to the implementation of the current revision of the intellectual property law and implementation of innovation-driven development strategy.
