Characteristics of copyright law
1, the original work must be the intellectual achievement created by the author, not plagiarism. Creation is a kind of mental work and intellectual activity, which can directly produce literary, artistic and scientific works.
The originality of works in copyright law is different from that in patent law. Creativity in patent law requires novelty and even originality.
The originality of works in copyright law, as long as they are created by themselves, is the intellectual achievement of expressing their thoughts and feelings.
Even if the level of this work is lower than that of similar works that have already appeared, as long as it is created by itself, it should be considered original. ?
2. It belongs to the field of literature, art and science, which is a very broad field and can accommodate all intellectual achievements, but the achievements of manual labor do not belong to this field. ?
3. Copying copyright in tangible form is an intangible property right, and its object (work) has a certain external form and occupies a specific space.
The works protected by copyright law refer to the results of the thoughts, feelings and ideas expressed by the author, rather than the carriers of these thoughts, feelings and ideas.
But the work must be attached to a certain carrier, fixed and recorded in a certain shape, and this shape can be copied in large quantities. ?
4. Works whose publication and dissemination are prohibited according to law do not violate the law, and even if they have the above three characteristics, they are not protected by copyright law.
For example, works that violate China's Constitution and laws, are reactionary or obscene, and no matter whether they meet the first three characteristics, they cannot be protected by copyright law.
The determination of the legality of a work is mainly based on laws other than the Constitution.
