委托作品的权利归属与权利冲突

Rights Ownership and Conflict of Commissioned Works

若当事人未约定委托作品著作权的归属,著作权依法归受托人享有,委托人则依订立合同的特定目的而享有使用作品的权利。若当事人未约定作品的具体使用方式,在受托人与委托人之间就有可能产生权利冲突。权利冲突应依公平原则解决,既要保护受托人的著作权,又要肯定委托人有权依订立合同的目的使用作品,这意味着受托人的著作权和委托人使用作品的权利都要受到一定程度的限制。

The commissionee owns the works' right according to law, while the commissioner owns the using right according to the contract end, under the condition that the litigant does not define the proprietary rights. If the litigant even does not define the usage of the work, it will be in conflict with the right of the work between the commissioner and the commissionee. We should protect the commissionee's right, meanwhile confirm the commissioner's usage of the work according to the contract, which means that both the rights of commissioner and commissionee should be limited.
