体育赛事节目著作权保护探究

2020年《著作权法》第三次修改后,我国知识产权法学界并未停止对体育赛事直播画面作品属性问题的争论.体育赛事直播画面的作品属性认定问题会影响到体育赛事节目的保护模式和路径选择.虽然体育赛事本身不是著作权法意义上的作品,但这并不影响体育赛事直播画面的作品属性构成.2021年6月1日以后,对于符合作品构成要件的体育赛事节目可以认定为视听作品.对于不符合作品构成要件的体育赛事节目可以考虑用《著作权法》(2020)最新修订的广播组织权予以保护.至于反不正当竞争法对体育赛事节目的保护,是我国《著作权法》第三次修改之前的权宜之计,反不正当竞争扩展保护的限度应该是明确的,不能无限度将反不正当竞争法的扩展保护适用于所有的知识产权领域.

Study on Copyright Protection of the Sports Event Programs

After the latest revision of the Copyright Law in 2020,the debate on the nature of live-streamed sports video is still continuing.On the basis of clarifying the basic concepts of sports events,sports event programs and live-streamed sports video,we can draw a conclusion that although the sports event itself is not a work in the sense of copyright law,it does not affect the copyright attribute of the live-streamed sports video.The identifica-tion of the attributes of the live-streamed sports video will affect the protection mode and path selection of sports events.From the perspective of the protection of sports event programs and the healthy development of sports and communication industry,we should halt the dispute on the attribute of live-streamed sports video,and reach a consensus on the protection mode and path selection of sports events programs as soon as possible,so as to pro-mote the healthy and orderly development of the industry.After June 1,2021,the copyrightable sports event pro-grams can be identified as audiovisual works.For sports event programs that do not meet the requirement of the work,we can consider using the newly revised broadcasting organization's right of the Copyright Law(2020)to protect them.As for the protection mode of anti-unfair competition for sports event programs,it is an expedient measure before the Copyright Law is amended in 2020.The limit of anti-unfair competition extension protection should be clear,and the extended protection of Anti-unfair Competition Law cannot be applied to all intellectual property fields indefinitely.
