| 单词 | Fictional character |
| 释义 | 虛構角色 In ordinary language, an imaginary person created within an artistic, literary, or dramatic work, with no direct counterpart in real life. Under copyright law, a fictional character may be protectable as a literary or artistic work provided it satisfies all the necessary requirements such as originality, work, artistry: Copyright Ordinance (Cap 528) ss 2, 4, 5; Mirage Studios & Ors v Counter-Feat Clothing Co Ltd & Anor [1991] FSR 145. However, it is unlikely that copyright protection can be extended to cover the invented name of a fictional character as such, if only the invented name is being used: Wombles Ltd v Wombles Skips Ltd [1975] FSR 488, [1977] RPC 99 (HC). Fictional characters may be protected by the action for passing off: for example, Samuelson v Producers’ Distributing Co Ltd [1932] 1 Ch 201 (CA). See also Artistic work; Copyright; Direct infringement; Dramatic work; Indirect infringement; Literary work. 在日常用語中，指在藝術作品、文學作品或戲劇作品中創造的想像人物，在真實生活中沒有直接對應的人物。在版權法下，虛構角色在符合一切所需規定，例如原創性、作品的定義和藝術性的情況下，可作為文學或藝術作品受到保障：《版權條例》（第528章）第2、4及5條；Mirage Studios & Ors v Counter-Feat Clothing Co Ltd & Anor [1991] FSR 145。但如僅僅是創作名字被使用，則版權法保障相當不可能引伸而適用於虛構角色的創作名字：Wombles Ltd v Wombles Skips Ltd [1975] FSR 488, [1977] RPC 99 (HC)。虛構角色或可藉假冒的法律行動受到保障：例如Samuelson v Producers’ Distributing Co Ltd [1932] 1 Ch 201 （上訴法院）。Samuelson v Producers’ Distributing Co Ltd [1932] 1 Ch 201 （上訴法院）。另見 Artistic work; Copyright; Direct infringement; Dramatic work; Indirect infringement; Literary work。 |
