Is there any copyright risk in non-commercial fonts in the word-making workshop?

As long as non-commercial fonts are not used for commercial purposes (such as commercial advertisements, commodity packaging, etc.). ), no problem.

Generally speaking, for the purpose of making profits, copying, distributing, displaying, displaying and disseminating information on the Internet, as well as broadcasting fonts as visual design elements in the whole website or printed materials, will be considered as commercial purposes.

There is basically no infringement risk for ordinary individuals to use the fonts that come with the software. As long as it is commercialized, it should be authorized. Even some fonts that claim to be commercially available for free are best consulted before commercialization. Authorization and payment are different in different usage scenarios.

There are mainly four fonts, which match different charging modes according to different situations:

1, handed down ancient calligraphy fonts, such as Yan Ti, Liu Ti, Ou Ti, Zhao Ti, Shoujin Ti, etc. , has entered the public domain, no one has the right to apply for copyright, so it can be applied for free;

2. The above-mentioned public fonts are modified, but the modification range is very small, which does not meet the requirements of originality in the copyright law and cannot apply for copyright protection;

3. If you change the public font, but the change is large enough to meet the requirements of the copyright law for originality, you can apply for copyright protection;

4. Completely original fonts meet the requirements of originality in the copyright law and can apply for copyright protection.

For the first two fonts, even if they are made into font software, they can only claim the copyright of the software, but have no right to claim the copyright of art works in fonts and fonts themselves. The latter two are copyrighted, and attention should be paid to obtaining legal authorization when using them, especially for commercial use.

Extended data:

Article 48 of the Copyright Law stipulates that anyone who commits one of the following acts of infringement shall bear civil liabilities such as stopping the infringement, eliminating the influence, making an apology and compensating for losses according to the circumstances; At the same time, if the public interests are harmed, the copyright administrative department may order the infringement to stop, confiscate the illegal income, confiscate and destroy the infringing copy, and may also impose a fine.

If the circumstances are serious, the copyright administrative department may also confiscate the materials, tools and equipment mainly used for making infringing copies; If the case constitutes a crime, criminal responsibility shall be investigated according to law:

(1) Reproduction, distribution, performance, projection, broadcasting, compilation and dissemination to the public through information networks without the permission of the copyright owner, except as otherwise provided by this Law;

(2) Publishing books with exclusive publishing rights enjoyed by others;

(3) Reproduction and distribution of audio and video products of their performances without the permission of performers, or dissemination of their performances to the public through information networks, unless otherwise provided for in this Law;

(4) Reproduction, distribution and dissemination of audio and video products made by the producers of audio and video recordings to the public through information networks without the permission of the producers, except as otherwise provided for in this Law;

(six) without the permission of the copyright owner or copyright-related obligee, deliberately avoiding or destroying the technical measures taken by the obligee to protect the copyright or copyright-related rights of his works, audio-visual products, etc. Except as otherwise provided by laws and administrative regulations;

(7) Deliberately deleting or changing electronic information on rights management such as works, audio-visual products, etc. Without the permission of the copyright owner or copyright-related obligee, except as otherwise provided by laws and administrative regulations;

(eight) the production and sale of works signed by others.

The determination of font copyright (mainly originality) is another controversial focus. Some people think that the current copyright law does not set the type of "font", but if it is to be protected as a work of art, it must conform to the definition of a work of art in Article 4 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Copyright Law (mainly the requirement of "aesthetic significance"), that is, it must achieve a considerable degree of originality.

However, there are also views that the copyright law does not require high originality of the protected object, and only needs to meet the lowest level of creativity (or "coin thickness"), and fonts should be treated equally. As long as it is original, it should be presumed that the intellectual expression involved can be protected by copyright.
