FTA中数字知识产权规则研究

自从多哈回合谈判陷入僵局之后,各国开始积极谈判自由贸易协议,其中包含的国际经济贸易规则与WTO体系中的国际经济贸易规则有所不同,有学者将这种情形描述为"国际经济贸易规则重构"。知识产权规则作为国际经济贸易规则中的重要部分,各国在此领域的利益各不相同,体现于这些自由贸易协议中的具体规则也各有侧重。其中,网络技术发展作为对知识产权规则的发展变化有所影响的因素,也是各国在签订自由贸易协议时不可忽视的因素之一。在分析几个具有代表性的自由贸易协议中的数字知识产权规则的基础上,可以观察其中数字知识产权保护标准,结合实际情况讨论我国应当作何应对,从而更好地构建我国主导FTA法律框架中相应的知识产权规则。

Research on the Rules of Digital Intellectual Property in FTA

Since the deadlock in the Doha round of negotiations,countries have begun to actively negotiate bilateral or multilateral regional free trade agreements,which contain international economic and trade rules that different from the WTO rules.Some scholars have described the change to be"reconstruction of international economic and trade rules".Intellectual property rules are important parts of the international economic and trade rules.The interests of countries in this field are different,which results in the fact that the concrete intellectual property rules embodied in these free trade agreements have different emphasis.Among them,the development of network technology,as one of the elements that affects the development and changes of intellectual property rules,is also a significant factor that countries cannot ignore when signing the free trade agreement.Based on the analysis of digital intellectual property rules in several representative free trade agreements,we can observe the digital intellectual property protection standard and discuss how China should respond to the actual situation,so as to better build corresponding intellectual property rules in the FTA that China advocates.
