Despite the massive growth of creative industries, 92.37% of creative industry players in Indonesia are independently self‐funded and have not received any outside funding such as banking credit. The government then issued Law Number 24 of 2019 concerning the Creative Economy (“Creative Economy Law”) where Article 16 verse (1) states that the government facilitates the development of Intellectual Property (IP)‐Based Financing for Creative Economy actors. The “Creative Economy Law” was then followed by the issuance of Government Regulation Number 24 of 2022 concerning the Implementing R egulations of Law Number 24 of 2019 concerning the Creative Economy (“Indonesian Government Regulation of Creative Economy”) as the regulatory framework. Using the normative juridical and comparative approach, this article examines the implementation of those regulations in establishing the IP‐based financing scheme for the creative industry in Indonesia, the progress, challenges, and potential solutions. This study shows that there's still a lack of political willingness from Indonesian banking institutions to accept and implement IP assets as collateral, therefore, concrete steps need to be taken for the formulation of IP‐based financing and IP‐based collateral through coordination and synergy between state holders and stakeholders for example by formulating pilot project led by the government.
尽管创意产业发展迅猛,但印尼92.37%的创意产业参与者都是独立自筹资金,没有获得任何外部资金(如银行信贷)。政府随后颁布了关于创意经济的2019年第24号法律(《创意经济法》),其中第16条第1款规定,政府促进创意经济参与者发展基于知识产权(IP)的融资。创意经济法》颁布后,又颁布了 2022 年第 24 号政府条例,即《2019 年第 24 号创意经济法实施条例》("印度尼西亚政府创意经济条例"),作为监管框架。本文采用规范法学和比较方法,研究了这些法规在印尼建立基于知识产权的创意产业融资计划中的实施情况、进展、挑战和潜在解决方案。本研究表明,印尼银行机构仍然缺乏接受和实施知识产权资产作为抵押品的政治意愿,因此需要采取具体步骤,通过国家持有者和利益相关者之间的协调和协同作用,例如通过制定由政府主导的试点项目,来制定基于知识产权的融资和基于知识产权的抵押品。

The US affirmed patent protection for genetically modified plant traits in 1985, asserting that firms could patent new hybrid plant varieties when formerly plant variety protection was the primary means to protect hybrid varieties. This paper examines how firms' intellectual property choices have changed for new corn varieties created during the years 1985–2012. The data suggests that firms increasingly rely on patent protection as their only form of intellectual property protection for new varieties. For varieties with patent protection, low‐valued varieties, as determined by low patent renewal rates, receive less net benefit from obtaining plant variety protection compared to high‐valued varieties.
美国于 1985 年确认了对转基因植物性状的专利保护,并声称企业可以为新的杂交植物品种申请专利,而以前植物品种保护是保护杂交品种的主要手段。本文研究了 1985-2012 年间企业对玉米新品种知识产权选择的变化。数据表明,企业越来越依赖专利保护,将其作为新品种知识产权保护的唯一形式。对于有专利保护的品种而言,与高价值品种相比,低价值品种(由低专利续展率决定)从获得植物品种保护中获得的净收益较少。

Open innovation under authoritarianism: The case of the Soviet Union 独裁统治下的开放式创新:苏联的案例
Pub Date : 2024-07-12 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12318
S. Lebedenko
The Soviet Union was a productive and technologically developed economy. It achieved a remarkable transformation from a feudalistic society to an advanced industrial society. How was it able to do this? This article argues that such rapid industrialisation was possible because the Soviets invested in legal institutions that created a special kind of open and highly coordinated innovation system confined to national borders. These legal institutions remain underappreciated in Western intellectual property scholarship. The article reassesses the Soviet legal institutions, by explaining their functions and effects on knowledge flows. It also conceptualises the Soviet reward system as having elements of an ‘economy of esteem’. The article is informative not only as a revisited historical account on the Soviet regulation of innovation, but also as one that teaches much about the modern models of innovation in market economies.
苏联是一个生产力和技术发达的经济体。它实现了从封建社会到先进工业社会的非凡转变。它是如何做到这一点的呢?本文认为,之所以能够实现如此迅速的工业化,是因为苏联投资建立了法律制度,从而创建了一种特殊的、开放的、高度协调的、局限于国界的创新体系。这些法律制度在西方知识产权学术界仍未得到足够重视。本文重新评估了苏联的法律制度,解释了它们的功能和对知识流动的影响。文章还将苏联的奖励制度概念化为具有 "自尊经济 "的要素。这篇文章不仅重新审视了苏联创新监管的历史,而且对市场经济中的现代创新模式也有很多启发。

This paper tries to examine the role and function of the National Collective Management Organization (NCMO) and Collective Management Organizations (CMOs) for songs and music authors along with their related rights based on the existing law and implementing regulations in Indonesia. The discussion specifically revolves around controversies, challenges, advantages, and disadvantages that occurred from the centralized management system in songs and music conducted by NCMO to ease the royalties payment process for commercial users. The research was made by analyzing qualitative data on the laws and their implementing regulations in Indonesia, and also formal reports, it is supported by in‐depth observation and interviews with selected sources in the fields. Results show that to perform its task as the centralized management body for royalties of copyrights in Indonesia, the NCMO has to transform the way they operate. There are three practicable and acceptable options of transformation which all shall require a structural change, transparency, and reasonable operational costs shared in terms of NCMO's and CMOs' operation. It must also involve improvement in consistency to NCMO, CMOs, and other related agencies to act as trustee bodies.
本文试图根据印度尼西亚现行法律和实施细则,探讨国家集体管理组织(NCMO)和集体管理组织(CMOs)在歌曲和音乐作者及其相关权利方面的作用和职能。讨论具体围绕国家集体管理组织(NCMO)为简化商业用户版税支付流程而实施的歌曲和音乐集中管理系统所产生的争议、挑战、优势和劣势展开。研究通过分析印尼法律及其实施细则的定性数据和正式报告进行,并辅以深入观察和与相关领域选定人士的访谈。研究结果表明,作为印尼版权使用费的中央管理机构,国家版权局必须转变运作方式。有三种切实可行且可接受的转型方案,都需要进行结构改革,提高透明度,并合理分担 NCMO 和 CMO 的运营成本。此外,还必须改善国家协调机制办公室、中医药管理办公室和其他相关机构作为受托机构的一致性。

The future perspectives of the European Unified Patent Court in the light of the existing intellectual property courts in the United States and Japan 从美国和日本现有的知识产权法院看欧洲统一专利法院的未来前景
Pub Date : 2024-06-08 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12314

The entering into force of Europe's Unified Patent Court (UPC) on 1 June 2023 shifts the question on whether and how a specialised and unified court should be designed to the question on how the already conceived court shall function to meet the set institutional and substantive goals for the European patent adjudication. Despite the contextual legal and economic differences, the examples of the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (CAFC) and the Tokyo Intellectual Property High Court (IPHC) can serve as guidance for the new European court, especially in its early days of operation. This article, outlining both the differences and similarities in the origins of the three courts, articulates upon the challenges as well as the achievements of the United States and Japanese examples to shed light on the future perspectives of the UPC and wherever relevant, provide policy‐oriented and practical recommendations for those in charge of shaping the UPC's jurisprudence. To this end, it is submitted that particular attention should be paid to ensuring the wide range of competences of the UPC judges; the interinstitutional dialogue between the UPC and the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) as well as the dialogue among the UPC judges, including the encouragement of dissenting opinions; consultation of public, if possible in the form of amicus curiae briefs; and international cooperation with existing specialised IP courts worldwide. Based on evidenced foreign practices, these mechanisms are argued to serve the objectives of avoiding ‘overspecialisation’, achieving uniformity while maintaining accuracy, securing the new court's legitimacy and, finally, fostering global judicial harmonisation.
欧洲统一专利法院(UPC)将于 2023 年 6 月 1 日生效,这将把是否应该以及如何设计一个专门的统一法院的问题转移到已经构想好的法院应如何运作以实现欧洲专利裁决的既定制度和实质目标的问题上。尽管在法律和经济背景上存在差异,但美国联邦巡回上诉法院 (CAFC) 和东京知识产权高等法院 (IPHC) 的例子可以为新的欧洲法院提供指导,尤其是在其运作的初期。本文概述了这三个法院起源的异同,阐明了美国和日本范例所面临的挑战和取得的成就,以阐明《统一域名争议解决中心》的未来前景,并在相关情况下,为负责制定《统一域名争议解决中心》判例的人员提供以政策为导向的实用建议。为此,本文提出应特别注意确保 UPC 法官的广泛权限;UPC 与欧盟法院 (CJEU) 之间的机构间对话以及 UPC 法官之间的对话,包括鼓励发表不同意见;咨询公众,如果可能的话以法庭之友书状的形式;以及与世界各地现有的专门知识产权法院开展国际合作。根据国外的实践经验,这些机制被认为有助于实现以下目标:避免 "过度专业化";在保持准确性的同时实现统一性;确保新法院的合法性;最后,促进全球司法协调。

Impacts of changes to Canada's Plant Breeders' Rights Act 修改《加拿大植物育种者权利法》的影响
Pub Date : 2024-05-15 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12303
Stuart J. Smyth, Peter W B Phillips, Diego M. Macall, David Castle
On February 27, 2015, as part of the Agricultural Growth Act, amendments to the Canada's Plant Breeders' Rights (PBRs) Act came into force, making Canada compliant with Union for the Protection of the New Varieties of Plants (UPOV) 91. One objective of adopting UPOV 91 was that it would encourage increased investment in plant breeding, giving Canadian farmers greater access to new and innovative plant varieties that enable them to be more globally competitive. To assess whether the adoption of UPOV 91 impacted crop variety investments, a survey of Canadian public and private plant breeders was undertaken in 2021–2022. Results indicate that the length of research grants play a significant role in plant breeders' perspectives. Previous research indicated that the adoption of UPOV 91 provided minimal incentives to increase investments. Results of this survey indicate that 52% of respondents, either agree or strongly agree, that the amendments to the PBR Act have provided an incentive to increase plant breeding investments.
2015 年 2 月 27 日,作为《农业增长法》的一部分,加拿大《植物育种者权利法》(PBRs)修正案正式生效,使加拿大符合植物新品种保护联盟(UPOV)第 91 条的规定。采用 UPOV 91 的一个目的是鼓励增加对植物育种的投资,使加拿大农民有更多机会获得创新植物新品种,从而提高他们的全球竞争力。为评估采用 UPOV 91 是否会影响作物品种投资,2021-2022 年对加拿大公共和私营植物育种者进行了调查。结果表明,研究补助金的长短对植物育种者的观点起着重要作用。此前的研究表明,UPOV 91 的采用对增加投资的激励作用微乎其微。本次调查结果显示,52% 的受访者同意或非常同意《植物育种法》修正案为增加植物育种投资提供了激励。

Intermediary safe harbour from copyright infringement in India—Alternative to the interpretative conundrum 印度版权侵权的中间人安全港--解释难题的替代方案
Pub Date : 2024-05-14 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12305
Sumeet Guha, Shreya Matilal
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) platforms that allow copyright owners to reach a large number of users and increase their economic fortune, contritely; enable the potential infringers preferring free‐riding to upload and distribute copyrighted materials. Under various theories of direct and secondary copyright infringement, the platforms now loosely called intermediaries are likely to become liable for copyright infringement. Like other jurisdictions, Indian law contains specific provisions to protect the intermediaries from such unanticipated liability. However, this intermediary liability and immunity law got muddied by inconsistent interpretations of the two operating statutes. Taking clues from the cross‐jurisdictional insights, this paper looks at the interpretative conundrum. Furthermore, the paper contends how the preferred interpretation is incompatible with the Berne Convention and Agreement on Trade‐Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights recommended three‐step doctrine for creating copyright exceptions. Ultimately, this paper advocates for a legislative intervention to clear the clouds of confusion in view of India's endeavour to enact a new law on ICT.
信息与传播技术(ICT)平台让版权所有者接触到大量用户,增加了他们的经济财富,但反过来,也让那些喜欢搭便车的潜在侵权者得以上传和传播受版权保护的材料。根据各种直接和间接侵犯版权的理论,现在被松散地称为中介的平台很可能要为侵犯版权负责。与其他司法管辖区一样,印度法律也包含保护中间商免于承担这种意外责任的具体条款。然而,由于对两部运作法规的解释不一致,中间人责任和豁免法变得模糊不清。本文以跨司法管辖区的见解为线索,探讨了这一解释难题。此外,本文还论证了首选解释如何与《伯尔尼公约》和《与贸易有关的知识产权协议》所建议的三步原则不一致。最后,鉴于印度正在努力制定一部新的信息和通信技术法,本文主张进行立法干预,以拨开混乱的云雾。

Patenting of agriculture biotechnology in Iraq: Widening the gap between the country's development needs and food security 伊拉克农业生物技术专利化:扩大国家发展需求与粮食安全之间的差距
Pub Date : 2024-05-12 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12306
Nihaya Khalaf
In Iraq, plants and biological processes for their production and plant varieties are patentable Under Order (81/2004) in Iraq and later its amendment Law (58/2015). This paper attempts to critically review patent rules related to agricultural biotechnology. It specifically questions the extent to which Iraq's developmental needs were considered when far‐reaching plant related patent protection was granted, The motivation for this study lies in its aim to examine the shift to restrictive exclusionary rights over plant genetic resources, and the implications this shift could have on sustainable agriculture and food security in the country, particularly Iraq lacks technological, institutional and financial capacities that can be directed towards the development of the biotechnology industry in the country.
在伊拉克,根据伊拉克法令(81/2004)及其后的修订法(58/2015),植物及其生物生产过程和植物品种均可申请专利。本文试图对与农业生物技术相关的专利规则进行批判性审查。本研究的动机在于其旨在审查对植物遗传资源的限制性排他性权利的转变,以及这种转变可能对该国可持续农业和粮食安全产生的影响,尤其是伊拉克缺乏可用于发展该国生物技术产业的技术、机构和财政能力。

Video kills the radio star: Copyright and the human versus artificial creativity war 视频杀死了广播明星:版权与人类与人工创意之争
Pub Date : 2024-05-09 DOI: 10.1111/jwip.12304
Francesca Mazzi, Salvatore Fasciana
This article contributes to the dynamic debate surrounding the intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and copyright law, offering a fresh perspective that builds upon interdisciplinary analyses. Focusing on the cognitive processes underpinning creativity in both human and AI contexts, the study draws a detailed parallel between Vincent Van Gogh's iconic “Starry Night” and its AI‐generated counterpart generated through DeepDream technology. Central to the investigation is the application of psychological and neuroscientific theories to understand and compare the creative processes in humans and AI. Based on such exercise, the article first examines whether art generated with AI, devoid of human emotions and motivations yet capable of mimicking human creative cognitive processes, qualifies for copyright protection. The analysis suggests that the similarities between human and AI creativity, particularly in their cognitive structuring, could render the work “original” according to different jurisdictional standards and interpretation of copyright law. Second, the article investigates whether AI infringes copyright if protected material is used for its training and processing. This question becomes particularly relevant in light of recent legal actions against AI‐artwork generators in California, which raise issues of potential infringement by AI using latent diffusion techniques on existing artworks. The discussion provides an original perspective that can advance the ongoing debate on the use of copyrighted material for AI training. The paper aims to contribute to the ongoing debate about AI and copyright by challenging the traditional human‐centric view of authorship in copyright law. The article argues for a nuanced understanding that acknowledges the complex nature of creativity, transcending the binary division between human and artificial sources. This approach is critical in redefining legal frameworks, ensuring they are adaptive to the evolving landscape of AI capabilities. At the same time, the article addresses the implications of AI drawing inspiration from existing art, recognizing the need to balance different stakeholders' interests when drawing policy considerations. Ultimately, the goal is to provide a layered perspective that not only deepens the legal discourse but also respects and fosters the coexistence and mutual advancement of both human and artificial creativity in the digital age, in line with the purpose of copyright.
这篇文章为围绕人工智能(AI)与版权法交叉问题的激烈辩论做出了贡献,在跨学科分析的基础上提供了一个全新的视角。研究重点关注人类和人工智能背景下支撑创造力的认知过程,并将文森特-梵高的标志性作品《星空》与通过 DeepDream 技术生成的人工智能对应作品进行了详细对比。研究的核心是应用心理学和神经科学理论来理解和比较人类与人工智能的创造过程。在此基础上,文章首先探讨了由人工智能生成的艺术作品,虽然没有人类的情感和动机,但却能够模仿人类的创造性认知过程,是否有资格获得版权保护。分析表明,人类与人工智能创造力之间的相似性,特别是在认知结构上的相似性,可以使作品根据不同的司法标准和版权法解释具有 "原创性"。其次,文章研究了如果受保护材料被用于人工智能的训练和处理,人工智能是否侵犯了版权。考虑到最近加利福尼亚州针对人工智能艺术作品生成者的法律诉讼,这个问题变得尤为重要,因为这些诉讼提出了人工智能利用潜在扩散技术对现有艺术作品进行潜在侵权的问题。本文的讨论提供了一个新颖的视角,可以推动目前关于将受版权保护的材料用于人工智能训练的讨论。本文旨在通过挑战版权法中以人为中心的传统著作权观点,为正在进行的有关人工智能和版权的讨论做出贡献。文章主张一种细致入微的理解,承认创造力的复杂性,超越人类和人工来源之间的二元划分。这种方法对于重新定义法律框架,确保其适应不断发展的人工智能能力至关重要。同时,文章探讨了人工智能从现有艺术中汲取灵感的影响,认识到在制定政策时需要平衡不同利益相关者的利益。最终,文章的目的是提供一个多层次的视角,不仅深化法律讨论,而且尊重和促进人类与人工创造力在数字时代的共存和共同进步,这也符合版权的宗旨。
