美术作品实质性相似认定论析

On the Substantial Similarity of Artwork

包括美术作品在内的作品实质性相似认定是著作权法理论及实践中的一大难题。虽然作品是一种客观存在,但是作品实质性相似认定又必须依靠人的主观感受,不同的人对同一作品会有不同的感受,并且,人的主观感受本就是一个无法客观量化的概念,所以,对实质性相似问题进行研究,寻找合理的认定规则,目的是为了使结论尽量向客观真实靠近,裁判更加公正合理。即使对于美术作品,"整体测试法"也是不合适的,在作品的实质性相似认定问题上,应当始终坚持"思想/表达"二分法、著作权法保护作品的表达而不保护思想等基本理念。

It is a major problem in the theory and practice of copyright law,which is the similarity of works of works including art works. Although the work is an objective existence,the work of a similar nature must rely on the subjective feelings of people. Different people will have different feelings on the same work,and people＇s subjective feeling of this is a concept that cannot be quantified. Therefore,it isnecessary to study the problem of substantive similarity to find a reasonable recognition of the rules, and the purpose is to make the conclusions as close as possible to the reality and more just and reasonable. E -ven for the works of art,the ＂overall test method＂ is not appropriate in the works of substantive simi-larity issues,and we should always adhere to the ＂thought / expression＂ dichotomy and the principles of copyright law that protects the expression of the works without protecting the basic ideas.
