Relativizing the concept of exclusive right in intellectual property law

本研究对知识产权法中专有权概念的相对化进行了理论分析。它选择了几个工业领域，在那里确定了利益攸关方的配置及其市场结构。这项研究试图澄清知识产权法中的专有权是否会增强某些关键利益相关者的利益。在研究项目期间，“谷歌图书”已经成为一个全球性的问题。此案具有将专有权概念相对化的潜在含义，即知识产权法的“选择加入”机制向“选择退出”机制的过渡，因此，本研究对这一特殊问题进行了深入的分析。当我们制定稳定文化部门利益相关者经济基础的政策目标时，著作权法并不是唯一的政策选择。在与其他文化政策措施的互动中，包括政府对艺术的资助，以及私人/企业慈善事业，如何建立最佳的“文化政策组合”，以实现规范性的政策目标，应该得到认真的考虑。考虑到知识产权法的相关领域和利益相关者的配置，如果我们只观察有限的法律领域--即知识产权法--的问题，我们不能对专有权的适当水平给出适当的答案。很明显，在文化政策中定位知识产权正变得越来越重要。

This research conducted a theoretical analysis on relativizing the concept of exclusive right in intellectual property law. It picked up several industrial fields, where the configuration of stakeholders and their market structures were identified. The research tried to clarify whether an exclusive right in intellectual property law will enhance the interests of certain key stakeholders.During the research project, "Google Books" has become a global issue. This case has the potential implication of relativizing the concept of exclusive right, namely the transition from "opt-in" to "opt-out" mechanism of intellectual property law, therefore, the research made an intensive analysis of this particular issue.Through this research, the following issues have been clarified. When we set a policy goal of stabilizing the economic foundations of stakeholders in a cultural sector, copyright law is not the only policy choice. In an interaction with other cultural policy measures including government funding for arts, and private/corporate philanthropy, how to set up optimal "portfolios of cultural policy" should be seriously taken into consideration in order to achieve normative policy goals.Considering the relevant areas and the configuration of stakeholders of intellectual property law, we cannot give a proper answer regarding the appropriate level of exclusive right if we only observe problems within limited legal fields, namely intellectual property law. It has become clear that locating intellectual property within cultural policy is becoming increasingly important.
