我国动画形象著作权归属存在问题及对策探讨

Research On the Problems and Countermeasures of Copyright Ownership of Animation Image in China

动画形象是动画作品的重要元素。动画形象可与动画作品分离,构成具有独创性和可复制性的美术作品。我国《著作权法》对动画形象著作权的归属采用原始归属模式,该归属模式存在“法人作品”与“特殊职务作品”界限模糊的缺陷,造成认定动画形象著作权归属的困难,同时“法人作者”立法例的确立损害了个人创作的积极性。本文针对我国现有著作权归属模式的困境,通过分析“阿凡提”案,并借鉴其他国家著作权归属模式,从鼓励个人创作的角度提出完善我国著作权归属模式的建议。

The animation image is an important element of animation works. The animation images can be separated from the animated artwork to create original and reproducible artworks. China's Copyright Law adopts the original attribution mode for the attribution of the animation image's copyright. There is a defect of blurring boundary between "works of legal entity" and "special works made for hire" in this attribution model, which makes it difficult to identify the copyright of the animated image. Meanwhile, the "legal author" legislation has damaged the enthusiasm of individual creation. In view of the predicament of the existing copyright ownership mode in China, this paper analyzes the copyright disputes between Shanghai Art Film Studio and Qu Jianfang, and draws on the experience of the copyright ownership modes in other countries to propose some suggestions for perfecting China's copyright ownership model from the perspective of encouraging individual creation.
