计算机软件著作权侵权保护研究

Research on the Protection of Computer Software Copyright Infringement

摘要: 近年来，我国计算机软件著作权侵权案件呈现出数量上升的趋势，特别是在办公类软件和游戏软件领域，涉外案件的比例较高，这不仅反映了软件产业国际化的加速，同时也凸显了跨国公司在知识产权保护上的重视程度。从法律角度来看，“接触加实质性相似”的原则虽然被广泛采用，但在具体应用中如何准确界定“实质性相似”却面临挑战。《计算机软件保护条例》第二十九条有关表达方式有限性的规定，在实践中给法官带来了不小的困扰。此外，举证责任分配不合理增加了权利人的诉讼难度，合理使用的边界模糊可能导致教育机构等非营利组织误入侵权雷区，针对上述问题，本文提出了多项对策建议以改变目前存在的不足与缺陷。

Abstract: In recent years, the number of computer software copyright infringement cases in China has shown a rising trend, especially in the field of office software and game software, the proportion of foreign cases is relatively high, which not only reflects the acceleration of the internationalization of the software industry, but also highlights the importance of multinational companies in the protection of intellectual property rights. From a legal point of view, although the principle of “contact plus substantial similarity” is widely adopted, it faces challenges to accurately define “substantial similarity” in specific application. Article 29 of the Regulations on the Protection of Computer Software on the limited way of expression has brought a lot of trouble to the judges in practice. In addition, the unreasonable distribution of the burden of proof increases the litigation difficulty of the right holder, and the blurred boundary of reasonable use may lead to non-profit organizations such as educational institutions to stray into the infringement minefield. In view of the above problems, this paper puts forward a number of countermeasures and suggestions to change the existing deficiencies and defects.
