As the hottest mascot of the Winter Olympics, who can resist the lovely shape of the ice mound and the melting snow? The chubby figure and shiny ice coat made this giant panda break through the hard ice and spread all over the world. Because there are many fans, the ice mound is hard to find now.
Principle of using ice pier
laws and regulations
The exclusive right of the ice pier belongs to the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. The cartoon image of Ice Shield constitutes an art work, which is protected by the copyright law and restricted by Article 24 of the copyright law on the fair use of works.
The production and sale of pirated products around Bingdundun belongs to "unauthorized copying and use of Olympic symbols and Olympic-related works", which violates the Regulations on the Protection of Olympic Symbols, the Regulations on the Administration of Special Signs, the Trademark Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Advertising Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).
usage scenario
Unless otherwise stipulated by laws and regulations, no unit or individual may use the image and name of the mascot, including the development, dissemination and sale of related derivatives expressing the work, without the permission of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee. The image and name of the mascot shall not be divided, distorted, tampered with or used as part of other patterns.
Those who use the mascot image and name according to law shall abide by the relevant technical standards and norms formulated by the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.
With the permission of the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, the ice pier can be used for non-commercial purposes by non-profit legal persons or organizations such as government agencies, grassroots mass autonomous organizations and institutions. Participants in non-commercial activities shall not engage in any form of commercial publicity by participating in non-commercial activities, except sponsors at all levels of the International Olympic Committee, the International Paralympic Committee and the Beijing Winter Olympics Organizing Committee.
If the news media reprint or quote the ice shield in newspapers, periodicals, radio stations, television stations, the Internet and other publicity reports, it is not necessary to go through the licensing procedures according to law. If the use behavior conforms to the use for personal appreciation, such as weaving patterns on personal items such as scarves and gloves for personal use only, it does not constitute infringement.
The determination of copyright infringement is not based on whether the use behavior has commercial profit purpose, especially in the case of spreading works through the network. Therefore, if the images of "Ice Shield" and "Edelweiss" are made into patterns similar to expression packs and spread on the Internet without the permission of the Organizing Committee, even if there is no charge involved, it is also an infringement.
