摘要

H1N1新型流感的流行，強制授權的議題再度引起關注，不過本文要探討的並非專利法上之強制授權，而係同為智慧財產權法制、但少受人注目的著作權法之強制授權機制，此部份美國已有上百年之發展經驗堪值我們觀察及參考，本文從著作權法強制授權機制之緣起、理論基礎、美國之發展、正反面之論辯及出現之新興議題依次論述，最後再回到我國之狀況，而提出強制授權的正當性應優先探討，尤其應從憲法基本權利的面向作觀察，希能對本議題之研究有所裨益。

Under the influence of the H1N1 pandemic, while attention to compulsory licensing system in patent law has been increasing, the one in copyright law receives less public concern. However, since both of them are compulsive in nature, they should not be treated with indifference. Given the discussion of compulsory licensing system has prevailed in the USA for over one hundred years, and there are experiences and cases for Taiwan to learn about, the researcher attempted to review the origin, theoretical foundation, and historical development of compulsory licensing in copyright law, to analyze positive and negative sides, and to inquire into related issues. Then back to the core question of justification of compulsory licensing, the study would refer to cases in Taiwan and gain a primary understanding of its implementation.
