政府機關開放其未享有完整著作財產權政府資料之可能方法芻議

How to open "government data" the copyright of which doesn't belong to government

政府機關於其職權範圍內所持有的政府資料，若該政府資料具著作權，但非由政府機關享有時，政府機關想對該等政府資料開放，原則上需取得著作財產權人同意，惟政府資料為數眾多，盤點政府資料的權利狀態，需耗費大量行政成本，且延遲政府資料開放政策的達成。為解決上述「開放屬第三人著作的政府資料」的困境，本文觀測國際上相似做法，再嘗試提出包含「著作財產權權利限制」及「政府資料開放相關法規課予政府受理建議和申請時應盡力取得授權」等解決方案，以提供我國政府建立政府資料開放政策時的一些建議。

When a government agency wants open "government data", which an agency acquires within respective authority, but the copyright of data doesn't belong to government, an agency should be with the consent of the economic rights holder. However, there is too much data to confirm the rights holder of every dataset one by one, because it must spend too much time and government funding. In order to solute this predicament, this article first reviews regulation of "limitations on economic rights" in Japanese and Korean Copyright Act. Then proposes two solutions for Taiwan's policy on opening and re-use of government data. One solution is to make regulation of "limitations on economic rights". Another is that requests the government to get license of the rights holder proactively, when people apply or advise to open government data.
