实用艺术作品“阶层式”保护模式研究——兼评最高人民法院指导案例第157号

Research on the"Stratified"Protection Mode of Works of Applied Art——Comments on the Guiding Case No.157 of the Supreme People's Court

仅依赖“思想—表达二分法”处理实用艺术作品著作权问题显得捉襟见肘。我国传统著作权法以文字作品为核心,其评价体系面对美术类作品时略显不足,嵌套在实用性与艺术性共生的实用艺术作品之上更显乏力。实用艺术作品以实用性为前提,以艺术性为核心,具有独立作为一类作品的逻辑自洽性与实践可行性。司法实践中,应当在“思想—表达二分法”的基础上引入“技术—艺术二分法”,采取“阶层式”的递进模式,对其中的可版权部分进行识别与保护。

The pure"idea-expression dichotomy"is too weak to deal with practical works of art.The traditional copy-right law is centered on literary works,and its evaluation system is not enough for works of fine art,let alone works of applied art that are both functional and artistic.Works of applied art take practicality as the premise and artistry as the core,and have the logic self-consistency and practical feasibility as a kind of works independently.In judicial prac-tice,the"technology-art dichotomy"should be introduced on the basis of"idea-expression dichotomy",and the"stratified"model should be adopted to identify and analyze the protected part.
