关于中国着作权登记的若干问题

着作权登记越来越受到人们的关注。但多数人对着作权登记并不十分了解,甚至还存在误解。在业界,也由于对着作权登记缺乏全面了解,引发了许多争论。目前国家版权局正在准备对《作品自愿登记试行办法》、《着作权质押合同登记办法》进行修改,并着手制定《着作权合同登记和备案办法》。做好这些部门规章的制定和修订工作,对于最终完善着作权立法中有关着作权登记的规定将大有帮助。     

中国内地和香港的同案重复诉讼问题（中文摘要）

随着中国内地与香港跨境经济活动的增加和融合,近几年跨境纠纷也相应增加。同一案件经常在中国内地和香港两地提起诉讼。这不仅浪费了当事人的时间和资源,也消耗了司法资源,从而浪费了纳税人的钱。而且,由于在内地和香港两个不同法域进行审判,争议会拖延较长时间,对两地经济交流和融合带来不确定性和风险。这种重复诉讼导致的另一问题是两个不同法域的法院会作出不同的判决。在中国对香港恢复主权统治之後,有人或许以为这一问题会比较容易解决;但事实并非如此。本文将讨论如何解决同一案件在中港两地重复诉讼的问题。     

中国案例指导制度若干问题研究

为了充分发挥指导性案例在统一法律适用标准方面的作用,2005年10月26日,最高人民法院在制定的《人民法院第二个五年改革纲要（2004-2008）》（以下简称《“二五”改革纲要》）中规定：“建立和完善案例指导制度,重视指导性案例在统一法律适用标准、指导下级法院审判工作、丰富和发展法学理论等方面的作用。最高人民法院制定关于案例指导制度的规范性文件,规定指导性案例的选编标准、选编程序、发布方式、指导规则等。”     

试论仲裁裁决的撤销——兼论我国相关立法的完善(下)

……四、撤销仲裁裁决案件性质问题的学理分析……(三)撤销仲裁裁决之诉之性质———程序法上形成之诉通过前文的分析和论述,笔者认为撤销仲裁裁决的请求完全可以定位为一种诉,即设立撤销仲裁裁决之诉。同时,笔者认为撤销仲裁裁决之诉在性质上为前文所介绍的大陆法系学理中已经进行论述的程序法上的形成之诉,具体理由如下:第一,正如前文所述,应该在观念上和立法上确立“撤销仲裁裁决之诉”这一概念和救济制度,将撤销仲裁裁决的请求纳入到“诉”的范畴内,只有这样才能使当事人享有作为民事争议的主体而向法院提起诉讼的依据,同时也可以促使国…     

我国仲裁证据保全制度之思考

在仲裁制度中,证据对当事人实体权益的影响很大,因此,能否合理地保全证据对仲裁程序中当事人的胜负有着重要的影响,但我国现行制度对当事人提出仲裁证据保全的时间、仲裁证据保全过程中仲裁机构与法院审核权的分属以及仲裁证据保全不当的救济机制等方面尚存在一些问题,应当对我国的仲裁证据保全制度予以健全和完善。
