意大利体育肖像权制度初探

意大利法律对运动员肖像权的保护来自于意大利民法典和版权法的规定,使用运动员的肖像必须经过肖像权人的同意,但法律另有规定的情形除外。运动员可以通过多种方式行使其肖像权,包括赞助和营销协议、运动员的个人许可、其所属体育俱乐部的使用等。当运动员的肖像权受到侵害时,受害人可以要求侵权人对造成的财产损失和精神损害承担损害赔偿责任,同时,可以诉请法院停止滥用。对我国运动员的肖像权问题有借鉴意义。

Sports image right system under Italy law

The protection of the athlete image rights under the Italy law comes from the Italy Civil Code and the Italy Copyright Law.When the athlete image is used,consent of the holder must be explicitly given,except for the reproduction required by the converning law.An athlete may use his image rights in several manners,including sponsorship and merchandising agreement,the athlete's personal permission,the use of the athlete's image by his club and so on.When the athlete's image rights are violated,the athlete may require the wrongdoer to bear the liability to pay compensation caused by the pecuniary damages and the moral damages.He can also apply to the judiciary to cease the abuse.This system is useful for settle the athlete image right problems in China.
