论人格上财产利益的可继承性

肖像、姓名、声音等人格要素的商业化利用,使传统民法理论关于人格权为具有专属性的非财产权的认识面临挑战,产生了对人格上财产利益进行保护以及承认其可继承性的需要。美国和德国在各自法院的司法实践中分别形成了公开权与隐私权分离的二元模式和人格权包含财产成分与精神成分的一元模式,我国更宜采纳一元模式。在一元模式下,人格上财产利益是人格要素财产化的结果而具有承认其可继承性的必要。

On the Inheritance of Property Interests on Personality

The commercial use of some personality elements such as portrait, name and voice has challenged the traditional theory that personality rights are exclusive rights and are not property rights. Thus the need to protect property interests on personality and admit its inheritance came into being. Judicial practice in the United States and Germany has formed different patterns： the ＂binary＂ mode and the ＂unitary＂ mode. Under the ＂unitary＂ mode, it＇s necessary to admit the inheritance of property interests on personality.
