摘要
本章探讨软件是否应该受到专利法或版权法的保护,或者通过一种特殊的保护形式。首先介绍了软件和著作权保护的历史背景,然后讨论了软件著作权保护和著作权侵权的范围。然后,本章将着眼于几种形式的版权侵权,如离线、在线和员工盗版,并通过三个案例来解释外观和感觉侵权:Navitaire诉easyJet, Nova Productions诉Mazooma Games, SAS Institute诉World Programming Ltd。此外,它还考虑在不侵犯版权所有者权利的情况下,根据英国《1988年版权、设计和专利法》允许的行为,包括软件许可证、最终用户许可协议(eula)、最后,本章分析了与计算机软件专利保护有关的案例,包括欧洲专利公约下的软件专利和Aerotel v Telco和Macrossan案的判决。
This chapter examines whether software should be protected by patent law or by the law of copyright, or through a sui generis form of protection. It first provides a historical background on software and copyright protection, before discussing the scope of software copyright protection and copyright infringement. The chapter then looks at several forms of copyright infringement such as offline, online, and employee piracy, and also explains the look and feel infringement by citing three cases: Navitaire v easyJet, Nova Productions v Mazooma Games, and SAS Institute v World Programming Ltd. In addition, it considers permissible acts under the UK’s Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 without infringing the rights of the copyright holder, including software licences, end-user licence agreements (EULAs),. Finally, the chapter analyses cases relating to patent protection for computer software, including software patents under the European Patent Convention and the decision in Aerotel v Telco and Macrossan.
期刊介绍:
The last decade has seen the introduction of computers and information technology at many levels of human transaction. Information technology (IT) is now used for data collation, in daily commercial transactions like transfer of funds, conclusion of contract, and complex diagnostic purposes in fields such as law, medicine and transport. The use of IT has expanded rapidly with the introduction of multimedia and the Internet. Any new technology inevitably raises a number of questions ranging from the legal to the ethical and the social. Information & Communications Technology Law covers topics such as: the implications of IT for legal processes and legal decision-making and related ethical and social issues.
