從哲學基礎論智慧財產權體系下人格權之功能

The Function of Moral Right under the Intellectual Property Regime-From the Philosophical Perspective

通說將智慧財產權法下的人格權，解釋為一種特殊或個別人格權，和民法上之人格權間，具有一般規定和特別規定之關連，而享有專屬性及保護人格利益之特點。但多年以來，智慧財產權學者，曾以不同角度，說明智慧財產權下之人格權，和智慧財產權間具有緊密關連，而必須適度地同意讓與或授權之可能性，顯和傳統上受到人格利益專屬性影響，將人格權視為不可讓與乙節不甚契合。本文預計從哲學角度，說明影響民法和智慧財產權法上人格權之Hegel思想，以及依此所生之法學理論，係以自由作為人格權基礎，而為人格權保護經濟利益及得讓與等主張，尋得另一種可能之解釋途徑。

It is commonly accepted that the moral right under the intellectual property regime is a special or individual personality right originated from personality right of the civil code which containing the characteristics of specificity and protecting personal interests. Intellectual property law scholars, however, for many years have urged the close relationship between the moral right and intellectual property right from other perspectives and proposing a reform on the alienability and licensing of moral rights from time to time of which contradicting the common knowledge of personality rights based on the understanding of personal interests as exclusive to the right holder alone. This article introduces the scholarly conversations based on G.W.F. Hegel and other philosophers indicating that it is liberty that shall be the core of personality right and moral right alike. This philosophical approach, focusing on liberty as the foundation of personality right, may provide another possible route in discussing and explaining issues like economic interests as protected by personality rights and alienability of moral rights.
