数媒时代版式设计权保护的困境及对策

Challenges and solutions of layout design rights protection in the digital media era

版式设计权是我国《著作权法》赋予出版者的一项专有权利,通过防止作品被非法复制和非法传播维护出版者的利益。然而,版式设计权的修订存在滞后性,不能适应当前出版行业数字化转型发展的要求,导致出版者的版式设计权益得不到有效保障。因此,在现行著作权体系下,赋予版式设计权信息网络传播权权项是比较合理的方案。为了使版式设计权制度能更好地适应数字出版与传播技术发展的要求,需要对版式设计权的主体认定、客体扩张、侵权内容等问题进行具体分析,以切实保护出版者的权益。

Layout design rights,established under the Copyright Law of China,offer exclusive rights to publishers to safeguard their interests against unauthorized reproduction and distribution of their works.However,the current legislative framework for layout design rights has not kept pace with the digital transformation of the publishing industry.As a result,publishers’layout design rights are not effectively protected in the digital environment.In light of this,incorporating an information network dissemination right within the existing copyright system emerges as a feasible solution.To ensure the layout design rights framework effectively adapt to the requirements of the development of digital publishing and communication technology,it is crucial to conduct a detailed analysis of the identification of rights holders,the expansion of protected content,and criteria for infringement.Such refinements are essential to uphold the rights of publishers in the digital age.
