互联网时代知识产权刑法保护的不足与完善

Deficiencies and perfection of Criminal Law protection of intellectualproperty in the Internet Era

知识产权的非物质性与互联网空间的虚拟性,使得知识产权的保护更为复杂与困难,随着有关互联网知识产权犯罪的不断增多,加大刑法对知识产权的保护力度日益重要。然而,我国《刑法》相关规定还存在对网络知识产权犯罪构成界定不合理、司法认定标准尚不完善、量刑和处罚力度有待加强等问题。为此,提出完善《刑法》有关知识产权犯罪构成要件的界定,合理确定网络知识产权犯罪的司法认定标准,加大对网络知识产权犯罪的量刑规定和处罚力度,明确界定网络服务提供者在知识产权犯罪中的法律责任等对策,以不断加大刑法对网络知识产权的保护力度,有效防范网络知识产权犯罪。

The immaterial nature of the intellectual property and the virtual nature of Internet space make the intellectual property protection more complicated and difficult.With the increasing number of Internet intellectual property crimes,it is increasingly important to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights by Criminal Law.However,some related regulations in China’s Criminal Law still have some problems such as the unreasonable definition of the constituents of network intellectual property crimes,judicial identification standards need to be more clear and definite,and the sentence and punishment need to be strengthened.In order to continuously step up the protection of network intellectual property by the Criminal Law and prevent network intellectual property crime effectively,this paper proposes the following strategy:make the definition of the constituents of intellectual property crime in the Criminal Law more clear and definite,reasonably determine the judicial identification standard of network intellectual property crime,optimize the allocation of punishment,strengthen the effectiveness of prohibition orders and employment prohibitions,and clearly define the legal responsibility of network service providers in intellectual property crime and other countermeasures.
