英国非注册外观设计制度研究
|
摘要
英国知识产权法律体系为外观设计提供了五种保护方式。其中,非注册外观设计制度是英国知识产权法律体系中的重要部分。非注册外观设计由1988年《英国著作权、外观设计和专利法》规定,英国引入该制度是为了弥补著作权对功能性物品保护的缺失,因此该制度在保护客体、侵权判断规则等方面有特殊的规定。2014年,英国皇室批准了《英国2014年知识产权保护法案》,通过一系列命令对非注册外观设计制度的部分条款进行了改革。英国知识产权体系中的非注册外观设计制度是比较独特的,了解该制度对完善我国外观设计制度有着重要的借鉴意义。
In UK, there are five areas of intellect property law, which are used to protect designs.Unregistered design right is vital in UK intellect property law. UK unregistered design right is governed by the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, it was introduced to remedy the absence of copyright protection for functional articles, so this system is particular in nature and infringement. The Intellectual Property Act 2014 received Royal Assent in 2014 and has been implemented via a series of commencement orders. UK unregistered design right is sui generis in UK intellectual property law, it affords us lessons that merit attention.
