摘要:《中美經贸协议》“通知—删除”规则对网络版权保护提出了新要求,具体包括突出侵权阻断的时效性要求、对“恶意”提交通知和反通知课以赔偿义务、调整错误通知的归责原则,并将恢复上架等待期设置为二十个工作日等。《中美经贸协议》中的“通知—删除”规则对中国网络版权立法完善形成一定挑战,其转化实施面临着合格通知的标准过于笼统、对“恶意”提交通知和反通知的惩罚措施缺失、“善意”的判断标准模糊、上架等待期的设置缺位等问题。但从长期来看,《中美经贸协议》“通知—删除”规则的内化过程有助于促进该规则的有效运行,推动中国知识产权法制变革,由此,建议应进一步细化有效、合格通知的条件,引入“恶意”错误通知和反通知的惩罚性赔偿制度,明晰“善意”的判断标准,并对“声明未侵权即恢复上架”的规则进行调整。

Abstract:China-US Economic and Trade Agreement puts forward new requirements for network copyright protection, including highlighting the efficiency of handling infringement notices, imposing compensation obligations on “malicious” notification and counter notice,adjusting the attribution principle of wrong notification and setting the waiting period of recovery to 20 working days. The “notice-takedown” rule of China-US Economic and Trade Agreement is very similar to the copyright legislation of the United States. The “notice-takedown” rule ofChina-US Economic and Trade Agreement exerts certain pressure on the improvement of Chinas domestic law, the transformation and implementation of the Agreement is faced with such problems as the standard of qualified notice is too general, the punishment measures for “malicious” submission of notice and counter notice is not clear, the judgment standard of “good faith” of the obligee is vague and the setting of waiting period for recovery is missing. However, in the long run, the internalization process of the “notice-takedown” rule of China-US Economic and Trade Agreement will help to promote the effective operation of the rule and promote the reform of Chinas intellectual property law. Thus, it is recommended that the conditions of effective and qualified notice should be refined, the punitive compensation system of “malicious” error notice and counter notice should be introduced, the judgment standard of “good faith” should be clarified and the rule of “declaration that no infringement will be restored” should be adjusted.
