Research on Challenges and Countermeasures of Digital Economy to China"s Intellectual Property System

摘要:

数字技术正以更加开放、高效和智能的方式促进社会经济和科技的发展，维持其健康发展需要对新技术的进行深度理解和宏观把控。鉴于此，本文分析了我国数字经济环境下现行知识产权制度的不足，并对国外数字经济战略和立法进行比较分析。研究认为：在版权领域，数字化技术导致在线侵权泛滥维权困难、版权滥用及垄断、严保护与共享精神冲突等问题。在专利领域，数字化技术引发了可专利性、专利审查积压和专利丛林、诱导低价值专利产出等问题。此外，需对数字经济最基础的数据建立专门的财产权保护制度。最后，本文提出我国应当适时修订知识产权法律、推动专门《数字经济法》立法工作并制定国家层面的数字经济战略三项对策建议。

Abstract:

Digital technology is promoting the development of the social economy and technology in a more open, efficient, and intelligent way. The healthy development of the digital economy requires in-depth understanding and macro-control of new technological innovation. This article analyzes the deficiencies of the current intellectual property system in the Chinese digital economy environment and compares it to foreign counties’ digital economy strategies and legislation. According to the present research, in the field of copyright, digital technology has caused problems such as the proliferation of online infringements and difficulties in safeguarding rights; in the field of patents, digital technology has caused problems such as explosive growth of patents, patent thickets, and insufficient patent protection. This article proposes that China needs to establish a special property rights protection system for data, the most basic element of the digital economy. Finally, this article puts forward countermeasures and suggests that China should promote the specific legislation of the Digital Economy Law revise intellectual property laws, and formulate a digital economy strategy at the national level.
