美国行政性版权小额索赔制度革新及借鉴

由于版权作品数字化侵权使用的日益泛化,且现有版权司法救济途径多存在"周期长、举证难、成本高、收益低"的弊端,使得版权人,尤其是中小版权人,很难以较低的维权成本,真正实现其权利的司法保障。鉴于此,美国率先在行政性版权小额索赔制度的革新上作出突破性的示范,于司法体制外另辟蹊径,在版权局之行政性框架内,设置版权小额索赔委员会,专门处理小额版权纠纷。在知识产权保护方面,我国亦存在司法救济效率不高、数字版权侵权泛化的问题,因此,为迎合强化知识产权保护的时代政策,有必要总结美国行政性版权小额索赔制度革新经验,以为我国版权小额索赔问题的解决提供有益的制度借鉴。

Innovation and Reference of Administrative Copyright Small Claim System in the United States

The increasingly extensive use of digital infringement of copyright works and the existing drawbacks of "long cycle,difficult to prove,high cost and low income" in copyright judicial relief channels,makes it difficult for copyright owners,especially small and medium-sized copyright owners,to lower the cost of safeguarding their rights and truly realize the judicial protection of their rights.Therefore,the United States is the first country to make a breakthrough in the reform of the administrative copyright small claims system.In terms of intellectual property protection,China also has the problem of low efficiency of intellectual property judicial relief.Therefore,in order to meet the demand of strengthening intellectual property protection,it is necessary to summarize the experience of the reform of the administrative copyright small claims system in the United States,so as to provide useful institutional reference for solving the problem of copyright small claims in China.
