Intellectual Property Protection for creation arising from diversifying design creation activitiy

随着社会的变化，如消费者的购买决策，消费者对品牌的追求，信息技术的发展，社会的老龄化，设计创作活动正在变得多样化。本研究研究了在这种情况下，由多样化的设计创作活动所产生的创造是否在设计保护制度中得到了适当的保护，如果没有得到适当的保护，应该做怎样的修改。研究结果表明：(1)由于商品需求的关系，陈列设计等新型的设计创作活动在现行的设计法下没有得到充分的保护。为了解决这个问题，货物要求必须是合格的。(2)在外观设计创作活动的创作保护方面，存在保护范围不明确的问题。为了解决这一问题，应该从普通消费者的角度来判断保护范围，并对判断过程进行一定程度的分类。(3)先保护还是易保护的问题，应视为著作权保护与外观设计法保护之间的保护选择，应综合考虑著作权保护与外观设计法修改保护的优劣后确定。
