Diese Seite bietet einen Überblick über die Urheberrechtsbestimmungen der Volksrepublik China, die für das Hochladen von Werken in Wikimedia Commons relevant sind. Beachte, dass jedes Werk, das aus China stammt, sowohl in China als auch in den Vereinigten Staaten gemeinfrei oder unter einer freien Lizenz verfügbar sein muss, bevor es auf Wikimedia Commons hochgeladen werden kann. Bei Zweifeln über den urheberrechtlichen Status eines Werkes aus China solltest du die entsprechenden Gesetze zur Klärung heranziehen.
In den Sonderverwaltungsregionen Hong Kong und Macau sowie in Taiwan gelten unterschiedliche Rechtssysteme und Urheberrechtsbestimmungen.
Hintergrund
[edit]China ist seit Jahrhunderten unabhängig, zunächst als Kaiserreich und dann seit 1912 als Republik. Hongkong wurde 1842 an Großbritannien abgetreten und am 1. Juli 1997 als Sonderverwaltungszone an China zurückgegeben. Im Jahr 1887 erhielt Portugal die Rechte an Macao, das 1999 als Sonderverwaltungszone an China zurückgegeben wurde. 1931 besetzten die Japaner die Mandschurei und gründeten den Vasallenstaat Manchukuo. Dieser wurde 1946 an China zurückgegeben.
Nach dem chinesischen Bürgerkrieg floh die Regierung der Republik China 1949 nach Taiwan, behauptete aber weiterhin, die rechtmäßige Regierung des chinesischen Festlandes zu sein. Die Volksrepublik China auf dem Festland erkennt die Legitimität der Republik China nicht an und beansprucht die Souveränität über Taiwan. Bis 1949 gelten für Festlandchina und Taiwan dieselben Urheberrechtsregeln.
China ist seit dem 15. Oktober 1992 Mitglied des Berner Konvention, am 30. Oktober 1992 dem Welturheberrechtsabkommen beigetreten, am 11. Dezember 2001 der World Trade Organization beigetreten und seit dem 9. Juni 2007 Mitglied der Welthandelsorganisation.[1] Ab 2021 führt die Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum (WIPO), eine Agentur der Vereinten Nationen, das Urheberrechtsgesetz der Volksrepublik China (in der Fassung des Beschlusses des Ständigen Ausschusses des Nationalen Volkskongresses zur Änderung des Urheberrechtsgesetzes der Volksrepublik China vom 11. November 2020) als das wichtigste vom chinesischen Gesetzgeber erlassene Urheberrechtsgesetz auf. Die Datenbank WIPO Lex enthält derzeit nur die chinesische Ausgabe.[1] Wikisource hat eine chinesische Version und eine englische Übersetzung.[2][3][4] Das Urheberrechtsgesetz der Volksrepublik China gilt rückwirkend.
Die Rechte von Urheberrechtsinhabern, Verlegern, ausübenden Künstlern, Produzenten von Ton- und Videoaufzeichnungen, Rundfunk- und Fernsehsendern, deren in diesem Gesetz festgelegte Schutzdauer zum Zeitpunkt des Inkrafttretens dieses Gesetzes noch nicht abgelaufen ist, werden gemäß diesem Gesetz geschützt.[1990 Artikel 55][5]
Allgemeines
[edit]Gemäß dem Urheberrechtsgesetz 2020 der Volksrepublik China,
- Ein Werk, das von einer natürlichen Person in Erfüllung der ihr von einer juristischen Person oder einer anderen nicht rechtsfähigen Organisation übertragenen Aufgaben geschaffen wird, gilt als Dienstleistungswerk. Sofern in Absatz 2 dieses Artikels nichts anderes bestimmt ist, steht das Urheberrecht an einem solchen Werk dem Urheber zu, aber die juristische Person oder die Organisation ohne Rechtspersönlichkeit hat ein vorrangiges Recht, das Werk im Rahmen ihrer beruflichen Tätigkeit zu verwerten … [2020 Artikel 18]
- Die Rechte der Urheberschaft, der Veränderung und der Unversehrtheit eines Urhebers sind zeitlich unbegrenzt.
- Die Schutzdauer des Veröffentlichungsrechts … für ein Werk eines Bürgers beträgt die Lebenszeit des Urhebers und fünfzig Jahre nach seinem Tod; sie endet am 31. Dezember des fünfzigsten Jahres nach dem Tod des Urhebers.[2020 Artikel 23]
- Bei einem Werk mit gemeinsamer Urheberschaft endet diese Frist am 31. Dezember des fünfzigsten Jahres nach dem Tod des letzten überlebenden Urhebers.[2020 Artikel 23]
- For a work of a legal person or an unincorporated organization, and a work for hire whose copyright (excluding right of signature) is owned by a legal person or an unincorporated organization, the protection period for its right of publication shall be 50 years, ending on December 31 of the 50th year after the creation of the work; and the protection period for its rights shall be 50 years, ending on December 31 of the 50th year after the first publication of the work, but if a work has not been published within 50 years after the completion of the creation, it shall no longer be protected by this Law.[2020 Art.23]

According to the Implementing Regulations of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China:[6]
- Article 13: In the case of a work of an unknown author, the copyright, except the right of authorship, shall be exercised by the lawful holder of the original copy of the work. Where the author has been identified, the copyright shall be exercised by the author or his heir in title.
- Article 16: The using of copyright enjoyed by the State shall be managed by the State Council copyright administration departments.
- Article 17: In the case of posthumous works, the right of publication may be exercised by the author's heir in title or other behested beneficiary within a period of 50 years, unless the author expressly had stated otherwise. In the absence of an heir in title or other behested beneficiary, the said right shall be exercised by the lawful holder of the original copy of the work.
- Article 18: In the case of a work of an unknown author, the protection term in relation to the rights as mentioned by item 5 to item 17 of first paragraph of Article 10 of the Law shall be 50 years ending on December 31 of the fiftieth year after the first publication of the work. Article 21 of the Law shall be applicable after the author of the work has been identified.
According to the Part IV Personality Rights, Chapter IV Portraiture Right, Article 1019 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, any organizations or peoples are not permitted to violate portraiture rights of other peoples by smear, stain, counterfeit by using information technology or else ways. No making, using and publishing of portrait owners' images are allowed without their consent, unless permitted by other laws. The copyright owners of portraint works are also not allowed to use or disclosure by releasing, copying, distributing, hiring, exhibiting or other ways without their consent. Portraiture rights provisions mentioned above are non-copyright restrictions.
There were some discussions about the copyright situations of the works of Communist Party of China, a de facto consensus on Chinese Wikisource (see s:zh:Template:PD-PRC-CPC) considered that, based on the Criminal Justice Reference guiding cases №. 680, CPC works may considered as in Public Domain per Article 5 if they are published by central organizations of CPC, such as National Congress, Central Committee and their subordinate bodies. If not published by central organizations, then CPC works may considered as copyrighted.

Scheck
[edit] OK {{PD-shape}} for cheques with simple designs. However, many Chinese cheques have security features that exceed threshold of originality and therefore
Nicht OK.
Währung
[edit] Nicht OK. The design of renminbi is exceeding the threshold of originality of China and there is no apparent evidence that renminbi designs are in public domain.
However, for currencies that are in circulation, there are some non-copyright restrictions. The use of Renminbi designs is subject to approval. According to the Measures for the Administration of the Use of Renminbi Designs (人民币图样使用管理办法) (amended in 2019)[8]:

The local branches of PBC are acceptance agencies of applications of cases.
- Article 9 The use of Renminbi designs should follow the following terms:
- Only one paper face by one picture;
- No harms of Renminbi images, national interests and public interests are allowed;
- Will not let the public consider mistakenly as the Renminbi itself;
...
OK for those with expired copyright.
Panoramafreiheit
[edit]In general, OK , with attribution {{FoP-China}}, for outdoor and indoor works (since June 2021 with the 2020 amendment of the copyright law allowing indoor works[9]) but
practically may be problematic with regards to images of 2D works like murals and permanent outdoor paintings (reference: Commons:Deletion requests/File:Mao Zedong portrait.jpg). To summarize:
OK for architecture,
OK for 3D works like sculptures (and possibly things like handicrafts, ceramics, and tiles), and
- generally
Nicht OK for 2D works like murals and outdoor paintings, unless their presences in images are not being main subjects.
The reproduction of artistic, architectural, or applied artwork, is covered under the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China, which allows reproduction of works in an outdoor public place if the author and the name of the original work is attributed.
- Article 24: In the following cases, a work may be exploited without the permission from, and without payment of remuneration to, the copyright owner, provided that the name or designation of the author and the title of the work are mentioned and the normal use of the work, or unreasonably damage the lawful rights and interests of the copyright owner shall not be affected:
(10) copying, drawing, photographing, or video recording of an artistic work located or on display in a public place;...
The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply to restrictions on copyright-related rights.
The "Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China" (2020) Article 24, clause 10 states that:
- [A] work may be exploited without the permission from, and without payment of remuneration to, the copyright owner, provided that the name or designation of the author and the title of the work are mentioned and the normal use of the work, or unreasonably damage the lawful rights and interests of the copyright owner shall not be affected:
- copying, drawing, photographing, or video recording of an artistic work located or on display in a public place
Regulations and court decisions regarding to freedom of panorama:
Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Cases of Civil Disputes over Copyright, Article 18: Artistic works in outdoor public places stipulated in Article 22, Item 10 of the Copyright Law refer to sculptures, paintings, calligraphy and other works of art that are set up or displayed in outdoor public places.
Copying, painting, photographing, and video recording of the artistic works specified in the preceding paragraph may be used again in a reasonable manner and scope without causing any infringement.
Reply on the "Report on the Request for Infringement of Copyright Disputes between Shandong Tianyi Advertising Co., Ltd. and Qingdao Hisense Communications Co., Ltd." of the Shandong Provincial Higher People's Court, the Supreme People's Court: (Dispute on using May Wind sculpture in advertisements) ... Here, for 'reasonable approach and scope', the 'approach and scope' for profit purposes should be included. This is the original intention of formulating the Judicial Interpretation. This provision of judicial interpretation is in conformity with the basic spirit of fair use as stipulated by the Berne Convention, and it is also in line with the legislation of most countries in the world."
Wang Juxian vs. Shaoxing Water Conservancy Bureau on Other Copyright Ownership Infringement Dispute Trial Supervision, The Supreme People's Court: As mentioned above, China's Copyright Law exempts the public from the obligation to attribute the author's name and the name of the work while exempting the author from the obligation to authorize and pay for the copying of the sculpture in the outdoor public place. Under normal circumstances, the public can only rely on the annotation of the outdoor art work itself to confirm the author's name and the name of the work without any obligation to verify.
The following examples are OK:
- Photos of the Tian Tan Buddha sculpture. See the court ruling of a civil law case, in which the court ruled that commercial use of a photo of the Tian Tan Buddha by a telecommunications operator on their IP phone cards is permissible.
- Photos of the May Wind sculpture. Shandong Province Higher People's Court ruled in a civil case that the usage of an image of this sculpture as a wallpaper in cellphones by a cellphone manufacturer is permissible. China's Supreme Court later on endorsed this ruling.
- Some limitations to the Chinese freedom of panorama as ruled by courts
- The Chinese FOP provision can hardly apply to works temporarily displayed in public places according to the reply by Supreme People's Court in 1995, which stated that works displayed only during the festival cannot be considered as "an artistic work located or on display in a public place".
- More recently, however, Chongqing Yuzhong District People's Court ruled in 2016 that the use of a photo of an outdoor sculpture on postcards for sale (commercial use without attribution) to be an infringement of the sculpture creator's rights (source: [9][10]). Note that the judge applied criteria pertaining to "fair use", including the purpose of reuse, the nature of use, and the consequences of use. Regarding the nature of use, the judge comments, "in this case, the photo contained in the 'Folklore Heritage' postcard issued by the advertising company is a full-body frontal photo of the sculpture of the 'Ciqikou night watchman', which is featured prominently in the picture and is the main vehicle for the postcard to express the design theme of 'Folklore Heritage', so this kind of use is not incidental."
- Regarding 2D works like outdoor paintings permanently installed in public spaces and murals, a recent court case by Beijing IP court (2020) gave a negative decision: "The Court believes that the general use of 2D art works by copyright owners is relatively simple, that is, copying works, creating derivative works on the basis of the original works for commercial use or authorizing others to do so. If a 2D art work is displayed in a public place, others can freely use it for commercial purposes after photographing, drawing or copying, the licensing and copyright owner's income will be seriously threatened, then the normal use of the work will be affected and the legitimate rights and interests enjoyed by the copyright owner will be prejudiced."

Schöpfungshöhe
[edit]China has a relatively low threshold of originality standard; basic designs may be copyrightable. One of the most noticeable cases is the logo of a company named Gang Heng (listed below) ruled by China's supreme court as copyrighted (see below).
Die folgenden Beispiele sind OK:
- "Matchstick man" (image) with a black sphere as a head, black lines as torso, limbs and feet is not copyrightable for lacking originality, ruled Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality (source).
- Five SKECHERS logos (image) are not copyrightable for lacking originality, ruled Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality in 2020 (final judgement and related news coverage).
- "BIOU" logo (image), with letter "b" and "o", and a small barcode in the upper right corner, is not copyrightable for lacking originality, ruled Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality in 2018 (final judgement and related articles [11] [12]). Note that the logo was initially ruled as copyrightable by the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board and a lower court.
- "KON" logo (see below), with three black bars crossed together, is not copyrightable for lacking originality, ruled Beijing Dongcheng District People's Court in 2019 (final judgement and news coverage).
- "Chao Qun" logo (see below), is not copyrightable for lacking originality, ruled China's Supreme People's Court in 2012 (original judgment by the Court). The court asserted that the expression does not show the existence of a unique style; there are only subtle differences when compared to the common Seal script and Clerical script, the "Chao Qun" logo does not reach a certain creative height, and does not have originality.
-
A stick figure similar to this image, where the head is represented by a circle and other parts represented by straight lines, is not copyrightable.
-
The SKECHERS's S logo is not copyrightable.
-
KON logo with three black bars crossed together is not copyrightable.
-
Chao Qun logo is not copyrightable.
The following examples are Not OK:
- Calligraphy works, such as:
- the work "道" on this photo (archived from original) (see the article by Beijing Youth Daily (archived from original), and the follow-up report (archived from original).
- the character "勁" (archived from the original), with rulings made by Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court, and Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality
- calligraphy for "澳門豆撈" (image), ruled by Henan Zhengzhou Intermediate People's Court (source).
- are copyrighted (Copyright Law of the PR China: "Article 2 Works of Chinese citizens, legal entities or other organizations, whether published or not, shall enjoy copyright in accordance with this Law." ; "Article 3 'Works' mentioned in this Law shall include [...] in the following forms: (4) works of fine art and architecture" ; Regulations for the Implementation: "Article 4 (8) 'works of fine arts' means [...] such as paintings, works of calligraphy and sculptures;")
- Handwriting: a hand-written manuscript was deemed copyrightable as work of art, according to a decision made by Nanjing Intermediate People's Court in 2017 (sources: [13] [14], Final judgement).
- "LY" company logo (alternative link; archived from the original), although arguably relatively simple, has been ruled copyrightable by Trademark Appeal Board of the State Administration of Industry & Commerce, Beijing Intellectual Property Court, and Higher People's Court of Beijing Municipality.
- Typefaces of characters "笑", "喜", and "城市宝贝" in these two logos are copyrightable, ruled Nanjing Intermediate People's Court in 2012. However the character "巴" in the same logo was decided not copyrightable for lacking originality in the same decision. (source, court decision full text: Final judgement)
- Gang Heng logo: China's Supreme People's Court ruled this logo to be protected by copyright in 2014 (original judgment by the Court; related news coverage).
- Dyneema logo (in this article): China's Supreme People's Court ruled this logo to be protected by copyright in 2017 (original judgment by the Court).
- K2 Sports logo as shown in the image below is eligible for copyright protection, determined during trademark adjudication proceedings in 2010 (source).
-
The logo of K2 Sports is copyrightable in China (but not copyrightable in its country of origin, the US).
Unterschriften
[edit] Not OK: According to the laws of the People's Republic of China, whether a work is protected by copyright, that is contingent on the originality (, literally "independent creativity"). Works having originality are protected and the copyright held by their authors ("Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China (2020) Article 15: "A work created by compilation shall refer to the work which is compiled of some works, fragments of works or the data or other materials not constituting a work, and the choice or layout of the contents of which embodies the original creation. The copyright of the compilation work shall be enjoyed by the compiler, provided that the exercise of such copyright does not infringe upon the copyright of the pre-existing works included in the compilation.") The signatures are commonly created independently rather than imitatively.
The signatures by the Chinese people containing Chinese characters may be considered as Chinese calligraphy works, and thus defined as artwork (, or translated as "works of fine arts") and protected by law ("Regulations for the Implementation of the Copyright Law of the People's Republic of China (2002) Article 4: "(8) 'works of fine arts' means two- or three-dimensional works of the plastic arts created in lines, colours or other media which impart aesthetic effect, such as paintings, works of calligraphy and sculptures;"). In a typical case, Dow Jones & Company had used a calligraphy "" written by calligrapher Guan Dongsheng. In 2003, Guan Dongsheng won his court action against the company, ruling by the Beijing First Intermediate People's Court. The artwork can be seen here.
Exceptions OK:
- If a signature is originally from documents of legislative, administrative, or judicial nature, it is in the public domain (see {{PD-PRC-exempt}}).
- Signatures whose author died more than 50 years ago are in the public domain.
- If the work is not a handwritten signature, but was instead created using standard, common typefaces of Ming, Sans-serif, or Regular script, it may be in the public domain. However, the vector glyphs in computer fonts may still be copyrighted.
Briefmarken
[edit]
Siehe auch: Commons:Briefmarken
As mentioned elsewhere (see Manchukuo and Wang Jingwei regime CRT pages), stamps issued by the government of Manchukuo, or the Wang Jingwei regime are nowadays in public domain, as both are considered as puppet regimes by Chinese Government, and hence never recognized their copyright status.
Pending informations, but in normal cases Not OK for nearly all non-Manchukuo, non-Wang-regime stamps in China, because in most cases, the dates of birth of authors of those stamps are not publicly known, unless if that's issued before Jan 1, 1929 which is a {{PD-anon-expired}} case, we should de facto judge them as copyrighted by China Post or its affiliates (e.g. Beijing Stamp Factory).[7]
In rare cases, if the dates of birth of authors of some individual stamps are known, those can enter the public domain 50 years after the death of the creator.

Geltende gesetzliche Bestimmungen
[edit]Hong Kong became a British colony in 1842. It was transferred back to China on 1 July 1997 as a special administrative region, with a separate system of government and legal system from mainland China.
Hong Kong has been a member of the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995. Hong Kong joined the Berne Convention effective 1 July 1997.
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of Hong Kong.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.[3] The Hong Hong eLegislation site also holds English and Traditional Chinese versions.
Allgemeines
[edit]According to the Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016),
- Copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work generally expires at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the author dies.[528/2016 Section 17(2)]
- If the work is of unknown authorship, copyright expires at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was first made; or if during that period the work is made available to the public, at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which it is first so made available.[528/2016 Section 17(3)]
- If the work is computer-generated copyright expires at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was made.[528/2016 Section 17(6)]

- The above does not apply to Government copyright or Legislative Council copyright (see sections 182 to 184) or to copyright which subsists by virtue of section 188 (copyright of certain international organizations).[528/2016 Section 17(8)]
- Copyright in a sound recording expires at the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which it is made; or if during that period it is released, 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which it is released.[528/2016 Section 18(2)]

Government copyright
[edit]According to the Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016),
- Where a work is made by an officer of the Government in the course of his duties the work qualifies for copyright protection and the Government is the first owner of any copyright in the work.[528/2016 Section 182(1)]
- Government copyright in a work continues to subsist (a) until the end of the period of 125 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was made; or (b) if the work is published commercially before the end of the period of 75 years from the end of the calendar year in which it was made, until the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which it was first so published.[528/2016 Section 182(3)]
Legislative Council copyright
[edit]According to the Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016),
- Where a work is made by or under the direction or control of the Legislative Council the work qualifies for copyright protection and the Legislative Council is the first owner of any copyright in the work.[528/2016 Section 184(1)]
- Legislative Council copyright in a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work continues to subsist until the end of the period of 50 years from the end of the calendar year in which the work was made.[528/2016 Section 184(3)]

However, a work is not regarded as made by or under the direction or control of the Legislative Council by reason only of its being commissioned by or on behalf of the Legislative Council.[528/2016 Section 184(4)]

[edit] Nicht OK section 103(1) of the Crimes Ordinance (Chapter 200) of the Laws of Hong Kong stipulates that reproduction of currency notes without prior permission of the Monetary Authority is an offense, and individuals may be liable for imprisonment for 6 months and a fine of HK$20,000.
It is worth to note that any approved reproduction under section 103 does not permit further subsequent copies or reproductions to be made for other usage ends without the written consent of the Monetary Authority. Therefore, applications for reproduction of Hong Kong currency note images for further copying or reproduction by a third party will generally not be approved. This implies that digital reproductions (which by nature permit further reproductions) are unlikely to be approved by the Authority, and so are not legally appropriate for Commons.
Panoramafreiheit
[edit] OK for 3D works and 2D artistic craftsmanships,
Nicht OK for many other 2D works, unless HKSAR government stated OK separately in particular cases. {{FoP-Hong Kong}}
According to Copyright Ordinance (Chapter 528) (consolidated version of May 27, 2016), it is not a copyright infringement to make graphic representations, take photographs, or broadcast the images of buildings, sculptures, models for buildings and works of artistic craftsmanship, if the object is permanently situated in a public place or in premises open to the public.[528/2016 Section 71]
Because Hong Kong was a territory of the United Kingdom until 1997, Hong Kong law is modeled on UK law, and in the absence of any specific case law to the contrary it is reasonable to assume that the rules will be similar. See the United Kingdom for more details.
Similar to the UK law, 'works of artistic craftsmanship' is defined separately from 'graphic work'. The latter includes any painting, drawing, diagram, map, chart or plan, and any engraving, etching, lithograph, woodcut or similar work. Therefore freedom given in Sect 71 does not apply to posters or maps in public places.
Schöpfungshöhe
[edit] Nicht OK für die meisten Logos. Die Schöpfungshöhe, die für einen Urheberrechtsschutz erforderlich ist, scheint sehr niedrig zu sein.

The Hongkong Post, as a government department of Hong Kong, owns the intellectual property of stamps released by them.

Diese Seite bietet einen Überblick über die Copyright-Regeln von Japan, die für das Hochladen von Werken in Wikimedia Commons relevant sind. Beachte, dass jedes Werk, das aus Japan stammt, sowohl in Japan als auch in den Vereinigten Staaten gemeinfrei oder unter einer freien Lizenz verfügbar sein muss, bevor es auf Wikimedia Commons hochgeladen werden kann. Bei Zweifeln über den urheberrechtlichen Status eines Werkes aus Japan solltest du die entsprechenden Gesetze zur Klärung heranziehen.
Geltende gesetzliche Bestimmungen
[edit]Japan ist seit dem 15. Juli 1899 Mitglied des Berner Übereinkommen, seit dem 1. Januar 1995 der Welthandelsorganisation und am dem 6. März 2002 dem WIPO-Urheberrechtsvertrag beigetreten.[1] Seit 2018 führt die Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum (WIPO), eine Unterorganisation der Vereinten Nationen, den Copyright Act (Act No. 48 of May 6, 1970, as amended up to Act No. 35 of May 14, 2014) als das wichtigste vom japanischen Gesetzgeber erlassene IP-Gesetz auf.[1] Die WIPO hält den Text dieses Gesetzes in ihrer Datenbank WIPO Lexvor.[2] Im Dezember 2018 gab die Agentur für kulturelle Angelegenheiten bekannt, dass die Dauer des Urheberrechts von 50 Jahren auf 70 Jahre nach dem Tod des Urhebers verlängert wurde, was dem Abkommen der Trans-Pacific Partnership entspricht.[3] Dies betrifft nicht die Werke, die bereits vor dem 30. Dezember 2018 gemeinfrei waren.
Dauer
[edit]Nach dem Urheberrechtsgesetz (Gesetz Nr. 48 vom 6. Mai 1970, geändert bis zum Gesetz Nr. 30 vom 25. Mai 2018),
- Das Urheberrecht gilt für die Dauer des Lebens des Urhebers plus 70 Jahre.[35/1970-2018 Artikel 51]
- Ist das Werk anonym oder pseudonym, dauert das Urheberrecht 70 Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung oder dem Tod des Urhebers, je nachdem, welcher Zeitpunkt früher eintritt.[35/1970-2018 Artikel 52]
- Gemeinschaftswerke: 70 Jahre ab der ersten Veröffentlichung (oder Schöpfung, wenn unveröffentlicht).[35/1970-2018 Artikel 53]
- Das Urheberrecht an einem Werk, das auf den Namen einer Organisation lautet, erlischt 70 Jahre nach der Veröffentlichung oder 70 Jahre nach der Schöpfung, wenn das Werk nicht innerhalb von 70 Jahren nach der Schöpfung veröffentlicht wird.[1899-1931 Artikel 53]
- Die vorstehende Bestimmung findet keine Anwendung, wenn der Urheber das Werk während der in der vorstehenden Bestimmung genannten Schutzdauer beim Urheberrechtsamt anmeldet.[1899-1931 Artikel 53.2]
- Für Tonaufnahmen gilt eine Frist von 70 Jahren nach der Veröffentlichung. Siehe {{PD-Japan-audio}} für Einzelheiten.
- Die Urheberrechtsdauer wurde 2018 von 50 auf 70 Jahre verlängert. Werke, deren Urheberrecht vor dem Datum des Inkrafttretens abgelaufen ist, sind davon nicht betroffen.
- Since June 18, 2003, cinematographic works are exceptionally protected for 70 years, instead of 50 years, after the publication, or 70 years after the creation if the film is not published within 70 years of the creation.[1899-1931 Art. 54]
- 38 years after the creator's death if it was published as his work before 1971.[1899-1931 Art. 22-3][1899-1969 Art. 3][4]
- All films produced in Japan prior to 1954 and directed by a person who died more than 38 years ago are in the public domain. See template {{PD-Japan-film}} for details.
- Photographs: 10 years from first publication (or creation if unpublished) before 1957.[1899-1931 Art. 23]
- Copyright protection for photographs published on or before December 31, 1956 has been ended, whether the author is alive or not.
- The term of protection for works from 1970 or before is the longer of the term under the old Copyright Act and that under the current Copyright Act. This provision especially affects the copyright status of cinematographic works.
- If the work was also published in the U.S. within 30 days (or it was first published in the United States), it was also protected under U.S. law but not affected by the URAA restoration. See Commons:Gemeinfreie Dateien and Commons:Hirtle-Tabelle.

{{PD-Japan-exempt}} applies to them.
[9]
De minimis
[edit]Copyright Act Article 30-2, amended in 2012, states:
- Article 30-2: When creating a copyrighted work of photography, sound recording or video recording, other copyrighted items that are incidental subjects of the work because they are hard to be separated from the item that is a subject of the work may be copied or translated along the work being created (only if they are minor components of the work being created). However, if, considering the kinds of the incidentally included works and the manner of the copying or translation, it unfairly is prejudicial to the interest of the copyright holders of the incidentally included works, they may not.
Panoramafreiheit
[edit]- for artistic works:
Nicht OK {{NoFoP-Japan}} except in cases governed by Article 46.
- for buildings only:
OK {{FoP-Japan}}
The Copyright Act (Act No. 48 of May 6, 1970, as amended up to Act No. 35 of May 14, 2014), allows the reproduction of artistic works located permanently in open places accessible to the public, such as streets and parks, or at places easily seen by the public, such as the outer walls of buildings, only for non-commercial purposes. Therefore, such photographs are not free enough for Commons.
Architectural works (i.e., buildings) located in such places may be photographed and the photos may be reproduced for any purposes. §46(iv), which contains the "non-commercial" restriction, applies only to "artistic works".[1899-1931 Art. 46(iv)] Some buildings like the Tower of the Sun can be regarded as artistic works per discussion.
Regarding buildings, a 2003 ruling by the Osaka District Court states that in order for a building to be copyrighted, it "must have creativity in aesthetic expression in light of the definition of works stipulated in Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the same Act." This means ordinary-looking buildings are not eligible for copyright protection as "architectural works".
For more information, refer to:
- 著作権法 – 建築に関する著作物について (Copyright Law – About Architectural Works), by 村田法律事務所 (Murata Law Office) (archived copy) — in Japanese
Note: According to Japanese copyright law, Japan has a copyright lifetime of 70 years after the death of the author (ie. creator/designer) or following "the death of the last surviving co-author in the case of a joint work." Henceforth, the author's works shall become copyright free and enter the public domain.[1899-1931 Art. 51]
Briefmarken
[edit] Stamps more than 70 years old or published before 1 January 1968 are in the public domain, per {{PD-Japan}}.
Schöpfungshöhe
[edit]Logos in the gallery below are OK to upload.
Article 2 of Japanese copyright law defines that a work is eligible for copyright when it is a production in which thoughts or sentiments are expressed in a creative way and which falls within the literary, scientific, artistic or musical domain.
Japanese courts have decided that to be copyrightable, a text logo needs to have artistic appearance that is worth artistic appreciation. Logos composed merely of geometric shapes and texts are also not copyrightable in general.
![]() |
(DR) Tokyo High Court's ruling: letters are a means of communication, shared by all. Copyright protection of fonts is limited only to those that raise artistic appreciation as much as artistic works do. [12] |
![]() |
(DR) Tokyo High Court's ruling: although the shape is stylized, the text is in a normal arrangement and keeps its function of being read as a sequence of letters. [13] |
![]() |
Tokyo District Court's ruling: the Court is negative towards recognizing the symbol as a copyrightable work of fine arts, because it is considered merely relatively simple graphic elements. [14] |
- Furby toy: utilitarian, so not protected by copyright as an artistic work. Not utilitarian in the United States, so photos of the toy can't be uploaded to Commons.
Signatures
[edit] OK for a typical signature,
Not OK for calligraphic signatures. The decision 平成10(受)332 (Hanrei Jiho No. 1730: 123) set a relatively high artistic threshold for typefaces. The decision 平成10(ワ)14675 substantiates that calligraphy works are copyrightable [16]. According to Article 2, Paragraph 1, Item 1 of the Copyright Law, a work is a production in which thoughts or sentiments are expressed in a creative way and which falls within the literary, scientific artistic or musical domain. A signature must have aesthetic properties capable of artistic appreciation, not just beauty in terms of practical functionality, to be copyrightable.

Hintergrund
[edit]In 1887 Portugal gained rights to Macau, which was returned to China as a special administrative region in 1999. Macau remains under a separate political and economic system from the rest of China until 2049.
Macau has belonged to the World Trade Organization since 31 December 1994.[1] The Berne Convention came into effect on 12 August 1999.
As of 2018 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed Decree-Law No. 43/99/M of August 16, 1999, on the Regime of Copyright and Related Rights (as amended by Law No. 5/2012 of April 10, 2012) as the main IP law enacted by the legislature of Macau.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.

Article 46 of the Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights provides for freedom of panorama, as long as the reproduction is not made to create an exact (identical) structure for direct or indirect commercial purpose.
Freedom of panorama was previously interpreted to not exist in Mongolia according to the now-repealed 2006 Law of Mongolia on Copyright and Related Rights, which only allowed for incidental inclusion of works in public spaces for reporting purposes, while also providing conditions similar to United States fair use conditions. This was superseded by the May 6, 2021 law.[1]

Hintergrund
[edit]Korea was annexed by Imperial Japan in 1910. After World War II ended in 1945, Korea was divided into two zones, with the north occupied by the Soviet Union and the south occupied by the United States. In 1948, separate governments were formed in North Korea and South Korea.
South Korea has been a member of the Universal Copyright Convention since 1 October 1987, the World Trade Organization since 1 January 1995, the Berne Convention since 21 August 1996 and the WIPO Copyright Treaty since 24 June 2004.
As of 2021 the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), an agency of the United Nations, listed the Copyright Act (Act No. 432 of January 28, 1957, as amended up to Act No. 17588 of December 8, 2020) as the main copyright law enacted by the legislature of South Korea.[1] WIPO holds the text of this law in their WIPO Lex database.
Types of protected work
[edit]Examples of protected works include:[3916/1987–2020 Article 4]
- Fiction, poetry, articles, lectures, speeches and other literary works
- Musical works
- Pantomime, theater, dance and other theatrical works
- Calligraphy, painting, sculpture, prints, crafts, applied arts and other art works
- Models, design plans and other works used for building and construction
- Photographs
- Cinematographic works
- Maps, charts, plans, directions, models and other forms of work
- Computer programs
Not protected
[edit]Under the Copyright Act (Act No. 432 of January 28, 1957, as amended up to Act No. 17588 of December 8, 2020), works that fall under any of the following are not protected by copyright.[3916/1987–2020 Article 7]
- Constitution, laws, treaties, orders, ordinances and rules
- Public notices, announcements, orders, and other similar matters by the State or local governments
- Judgment, decision, order and trial or administrative trial procedure of the court, other resolutions, decisions, etc. through similar procedures
- Compilation or translation of those stipulated in subparagraphs 1 through 3, prepared by the State or local government
- News reports that only convey facts
Allgemeine Regeln
[edit]Under the Copyright Act (Act No. 432 of January 28, 1957, as amended up to Act No. 14634 of March 21, 2017),
- An author's property rights survive 70 years after the author has died, except where otherwise specified.[432/1957–2017 Article 39]
- Property rights in a joint work survive 70 years after the death of the last surviving author.[432/1957–2017 Article 39]
- An anonymous or pseudonymous work is protected 70 years from publication unless the author becomes know during this period, in which case protection lasts as in Article 39.[432/1957–2017 Article 40]
- A work created during employment is protected for 70 years from the time of publication. However, if it is not published within 50 years from creation it is protected for 70 years from creation.[432/1957–2017 Article 41]
- An audiovisual work is protected for 70 years from publication. However, if it is not published within 50 years from creation it is protected for 70 years from creation.[432/1957–2017 Article 42]
- The term of protection lasts until end of the year of the author's death, or year of creation or publication as applicable.[432/1957–2017 Article 44]
- Neighboring rights are protected for 70 years from performance, recording or broadcast, as applicable.[432/1957–2017 Article 86] Note that, for musical recordings, the underlying musical work will also need to be out of copyright.
Pre-1963 deaths, organization works
[edit]Copyright protection durations were 30 years before 1957 and 50 years before July 2013. This applies to copyrighted works of which authors died before 1 January 1963, or which were made public in the name of an organization before 1 January 1963.
Furthermore, with the exceptions of photographs reproducing otherwise copyrighted works of art, and photographs inserted into a work of study or art and produced only for the purpose of inclusion within said work, photographs or other works of a similar form to photography either published or produced in negative on or before 31 December 1976 are now in the public domain in the Republic of Korea as their term of copyright has expired there.
There are exceptional cases. Property rights are to belong to the state according to provisions of the Civil Law and other laws upon the death of a copyright owner without heir or, in the case of a legal person or organization, upon its dissolution. The product must also be in the public domain in the United States.
Status in den Vereinigten Staaten
[edit]For deciding if the work is out of copyright in the U.S., it's necessary to figure out whether the work was in copyright in 1996. If a work went out of copyright before the 1986 act extended copyright terms from 30 years to 50 years, it does not regain copyright. The act came into force in 1987, hence, works where all authors died before 1957 are out of copyright in both South Korea and the U.S.

[edit] Nicht OK for all New Taiwan Dollar, both banknotes and coins, per Commons:Deletion requests/NTD banknotes.
As explained by VRT ticket 2014050810011876, all NTDs are protected by copyright under the Copyright Act of Taiwan. The copyright holder is the Central Bank of the Republic of China (Taiwan):
- In response to the enquiry in your e-mail dated April 27, 2014, please be noted that the images of our national currency are strictly under the protection of the Copyright Act of Taiwan. That means all the pictures on the NTD banknotes are not allowed to be exhibited on any commercial websites without our permission in advance.
For several years, some users claimed that {{GWOIA}} may apply to them, based on CBC's Government Website Open Data Announcement:
“ | Insert the text of the quote here, without quotation marks. | ” |
This is also not true as per another VRT ticket 2020051710002624, to which a CBC officer said that their GWOIA can only apply to their policy texts and photos made for hire that are photographed by their employees, and can't apply to any currency samples.
Please also note that there are several artworks and photograph works on currencies, they are all copyrighted, in Taiwan as per the copyright note, and in the United States as per URAA.
Inconclusive For Old Taiwan Dollars, their copyright terms should be treated case by case.
De minimis
[edit]- Public space and artistic works
Commercial freedom of panorama is not allowed in Taiwan for copyrighted works of art (non-architecture). A de minimis standard was set by the Taiwan Intellectual Property Office regarding photographs that may show copyrighted monuments and murals of Taiwan:
(2) As to whether the photographing of outdoor graffiti (artistic works) and print it in postcards for sale constitute the situation of "reproduction of artistic works for the purpose of selling reproductions" in paragraph 4 of Article 58 of the Law, in principle, if a specific artistic work is taken as the "theme" or the "focus", and the photos are printed in postcards for sale, it should be the situation of paragraph 4 of Article 58, one shall not claim fair use in accordance with this article; However, if such artistic works are used as the background for portrait photos or other landscape photos, and such art works are "attached" to the photos (not the focus of photo), there is a space for fair use in accordance with Paragraph 4 of Article 58 of the Law. As for the situation of fair use in accordance with Article 58 of the Law mentioned in the Vol.192 (p.77) of TIPO's monthly magazine, it is only limited to the above-mentioned "incidental use" of outdoor artistic works.
— Excerpt of English translation of Email No.1111122
Note that in the context of Taiwanese copyright law, fair use is not "fair use" in the American context but is a synonym for a copyright limitation. Freedom of panorama and de minimis are considered as types of fair uses in Taiwan.
Panoramafreiheit
[edit]OK for buildings only {{FoP-Taiwan}}
Not OK for artistic works (sculptures, murals, and other non-architecture)
Article 58 of the "Copyright Act" states that:
- Artistic works or architectural works displayed on a long-term basis on streets, in parks, on outside walls of buildings, or other outdoor locales open to the public, may be exploited by any means except under the following circumstances:
- Reproduction of a building by construction of another building.
- Reproduction of a work of sculpture by production of another sculpture.
- Reproduction for the purpose of long-term public display in locales specified in this article.
- Reproduction of artistic works solely for the purpose of selling copies.
Reproductions of artistic works are thus only for non-commercial purposes; therefore, such photographs are not free enough for Commons: Not OK.
The Taiwan Intellectual Property Office upheld this exact and restrictive perspective on freedom of panorama in their two correspondences which are accessible online: Reply No.1111122 and Reply No.1111230. This not only replaces some inconsistent interpretations in the past which Wikimedia Commons accepted in 2018 (for 3D public art) and in 2020 (for 2D public art), but also reinstated the original standpoint of Wikimedia Commons regarding the Taiwanese freedom of panorama. A more recent correspondence from TIPO, Reply No.11260001910, reaffirms the prior replies and explicity states that the use of free Creative Commons licenses on photos of copyrighted public art (such as outdoor sculptures of Ju Ming and Hongtong village murals) as mandated by Wikimedia may result to copyright infringement as the licenses involve the use of those photos on post cards and other media in which the only purpose is to sell copies of the artistic work. TIPO suggested that the Creative Commons license terms should exclude "reproduction of artistic works solely for the purpose of selling copies of the said works."
Also, Article 64 states that:
- Who uses other people's works according to Article 44 to 47, Article 48 to Article 50, Article 52, Article 53, Article 55, Article 57, Article 58, and Articles 60 to 63, shall clearly indicate their origin.
- The source of the explicit source in the preceding paragraph shall be used in a reasonable manner except for those whose name is unknown or whose works are unknown.
See also these related discussions: in October 2021 and in January 2023 on Commons, and also an extensive discussion and debate over the matter in Chinese Wikipedia.
- Architecture vs. artistic works
Reply No.11260001910 reaffirms the standards of what is an architectural work in Taiwan, citing Section 4 the Building Act. Accordingly, a building "refers to the structures or miscellaneous works fixed on the ground or under the ground surface, having top covers, beams, columns, or walls, and used for individuals or the public." According to TIPO, if a certain work belongs to the categories of both architectural works and artistic works, the said work is still subject to the non-commercial restrictions of Taiwanese freedom of panorama at Article 58, paragraph 4.
Schöpfungshöhe
[edit]The level required for copyright is low. Independently created works with "minimal creativity" are eligible, according to Taiwan's Intellectual Property Office.
The following examples are OK:
- These two artworks with traditional design elements are unprotected, according to court decisions that they do not meet the originality threshold for copyright protection:
- Simple typeface, such as the typeface of Sunshow company logo:
The following examples are Nicht OK:
- Calligraphy works, including:
- "燒烤飯糰" on this photo, is copyright protected ruled by a court.
- "風月堂" (see the last page of the PDF document for the work in question).[11]
- The graphic part of Sunshow company's logo. The court ruled that the graphic part of the logo: two hands clasped together, one over the other, is copyrightable, but the typeface "SUNSHOW" is not.[12]
- The Louis Vuitton Monogram Multicolor pattern [15][13].
Unterschriften
[edit] Not OK: This government regulation (archived from original) lists handwriting and calligraphy as examples of artistic works that are subject to copyright protection.
Briefmarken
[edit]
According to the TIPO[14], stamps are considered as normal copyrighted artworks, not government works. Old stamps can be public domain following the #Terms section above.
