“技术标准”版权性问题研究

Research on Copyright of Technical Standards

关于"技术标准"可否受著作权法保护的问题,学界意见不一,实务部门把标准作为作品给予著作权法保护。由于除企业标准以外的标准是由行政主体制定,具有强制性和规范性,应该属于其他规范性行政文件。依据《著作权法》第五条关于著作权客体的除外规定,企业标准外的标准不应该受著作权法保护。况且,它不具有作品的属性,标准的非著作权法保护及公开符合《著作权法》及《标准化法》的立法目的和精神,也符合利益平衡原则。如果给予标准予著作权法保护,会产生许多负面影响。由此,对企业标准外的标准进行出版就不存在专有出版权,行政主体对于制定出来的标准应当予以行政公开。

Academic circles have a disagreement over the issue that whether technical standards should be protected by copyright law, and most practical departments hold the view that they shall be protected as ＂works＂ in copyright law. All the technical standards ex- cept enterprise standards should belong to other normative administrative files, since they are mandatory and normative as a result of be- ing made by administrative subject. Consequently, according to the provisions about the object of copyright in article five of the copy- right law, all the technical standards except enterprise standards should not be protected by copyright law. Besides, they don＇t possess the property of the works. Without giving these technical standards the copyright law＇s protection but making them public conforms to the legislative purpose and spirit of the copyright law and the standardization law, as well as the principle of benefit counterbalance. It will take many negative effects when giving technical standards copyright law protection. Based on this, the administrative subject should provide the technical standards administrative openness and there＇s no exclusive publishing right.
