信息产权理论与知识产权制度之正当性

知识产权的客体知识产品可以被看成是一种无形的信息。这种信息的生产对社会具有极为重要的意义。从信息产权的理论看,建立知识产权制度的合理性应当解决新信息的足够生产、信息的消费者(用户)对信息的足够而合理的分享,以及信息专有与信息自由和分享矛盾的调适等问题。知识产权制度通过一系列制度设计和安排特别是其中的利益平衡机制,妥善地解决了信息产权理论上信息垄断与信息分享之间的悖论,从而使其存在和运行具有充分的正当性。

The Justification of the Theory of Information Property and Intellectual Property

The subject matter of intellectual property, intellectual products, can be views as a kind of intangible information, the production of which is vital to society. From the point of property right information, in order to establish the justification of intellectual property system, such issues as the efficient production of new information, the reasonable and sharing by the user of information and the coordination between the exclusivity of information and its freedom as well as sharing must be solved. By a series of system design and arrangement in intellectual property, especially the mechanism of balancing of interests therein, the contradiction in the property right of information as to the exclusivity of information and its sharing is solved properly, thereby making its existence and operation pose sufficient justification.
