An Investigation into the Composite Regulation of Commercial Data Protection—Combining the Protection Regulation Thinking of Anti-Unfair Competition Law and Intellectual Property Law

在关于商业数据保护的探讨环境下，立法赋权模式与行为规制模式成为两大主流学说，而在行为规制论内部，反不正当竞争法规制与知识产权法规制的构想在目前呈现出互不相容的态势，然而，反不正当竞争法规制与知识产权法规制并非根本对立，并且，将反不正当竞争法与知识产权法规制复合适用于商业数据的保护才兼具理论协调性与实践必要性。应当根据商业数据的不同类别，渐进式地适用知识产权法规制与反不正当竞争法规制，按照顺序依次考虑商业秘密保护路径、著作权法保护路径或反不正当竞争法兜底保护路径，并在这一规制思路下，在现行《反不正当竞争法》的基础上补充具有针对性的法律条款，结合反不正当竞争法与知识产权法保护对商业数据进行复合型规制。In the context of discussions on the protection of commercial data, the legislative empowerment model and the behavior regulation model have become the two mainstream theories. Within the behavior regulation theory, the idea of regulating commercial data through anti-unfair competition laws and intellectual property laws has emerged as a conflicting trend at present. However, the regulation of commercial data through anti-unfair competition laws and intellectual property laws is not fundamentally opposed, and it is necessary to apply the combination of these two regulations to the protection of commercial data, which is both theoretically coordinated and practically necessary. It is advisable to gradually apply intellectual property law regulation and anti-unfair competition law regulation to different categories of commercial data, considering the protection path of trade secrets first, the protection path of copyright law second, or the catch-all protection path of anti-unfair competition law last. Under this regulatory framework, supplementary targeted legal provisions should be added to the current Anti-Unfair Competition Law, and the protection of commercial data should be regulated through a composite regulation combining anti-unfair competition law and intellectual property law.
