计算机软件保护的模式及趋势分析

对于计算机软件,多数国家一般都以著作权法来予以保护。但由于著作权法只能保护一个创意、一个思想的表现形式而无法保护创意、思想本身,因此计算机软件的专利权保护引起越来越多国家的重视。一些发达国家相继发布了有关软件专利保护的审查基准,规定了计算机软件在一定的条件下可以获得专利权保护。同时从功能上看,软件更接近于专利权的客体而不是著作权的客体,因而对计算机软件进行专利权保护具有广阔的前景和深远的意义。

A Probe on the Protected Mode and Tendency of the Computer Software

Nowadays,the most countries generally protect the computer software by the copyright law.But,for the copyright law only can protect the manifestation of a creativity or a thought,and it can not protect its itself,therefore more and more countries pay attention to the computer software patent protection at present when the computer software code technology develops highly and the infringement software intellectual property rights case sometimes occurs.Some developed countries have issued the examination standard of software patent protection one after another,which had stipulated the computer software might obtain the patent protection under the certain condition.Meanwhile looking from the function,the software favors in the patent object but not the copyright object,so the patent protection to the computer software has the broad prospect and the profound significance.
