Hintergrund

Thailand (früher Siam genannt) blieb im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert unabhängig und war das einzige Land in Südostasien, das sich der europäischen Kolonisierung entziehen konnte. Im Jahr 1932 wurde es eine konstitutionelle Monarchie.

Thailand ist seit dem 17. Juli 1931 Mitglied der Berner Übereinkunft und seit dem 1. Januar 1995 der Welthandelsorganisation.[1]

Im Jahr 2018 führt die Weltorganisation für geistiges Eigentum (WIPO), eine Agentur der Vereinten Nationen, den Copyright Act B.E. 2537 (1994) als das wichtigste vom thailändischen Gesetzgeber erlassene Gesetz zum Schutz des geistigen Eigentums auf.[1] Die WIPO verfügt über den Text dieses Gesetzes in ihrer Datenbank WIPO Lex.[2]

This act was modified by the Copyright Act (No. 2) B.E. 2558 (2015), which adds provisions related to exceptions, rights management and violations.[3] It was further modified by the Copyright Act (No. 3) B.E. 2558 (2015) which covers recording of movies in movie theaters and exceptions for disabled persons.[4] Wikisource holds the Thai language version of the Copyright Act, 1994 and modifying acts.

The Thai Copyright Act of B.E. 2537 (A.D. 1994) states that:

  • A drawing, painting, construction, engraving, moulding, carving, lithographing, photographing, cinematographing, video broadcasting or any similar act of an artistic work, except an architectural work, which is openly located in a public place shall not be deemed an infringement of copyright in the artistic work.[2537/1994 Sec.37]
  • A drawing, painting, engraving, moulding, carving, lithographing, photographing, cinematographing or video broadcasting of an architectural work shall not be deemed an infringement of copyright in the architectural work.[2537/1994 Sec.38]

For artistic works that are not situated in public spaces (not "openly located in a public place"), these can only be photographed freely if de minimis:

  • A photograph or cinematograph or video broadcast of a work of which an artistic work is a component shall not be deemed an infringement of copyright in the artistic work.[2537/1994 Sec.39]
  • Note that artistic work as defined by Section 4 of the law does not include works of literature. On the other hand, architecture as defined in the same section includes "design of buildings or constructions, a design of interior or exterior decoration as well as a landscape design or a creation of a model of buildings or constructions." It can be interpreted that elegant bridges are works of architecture that fall under the freedom of panorama, through the element "constructions."

Schöpfungshöhe

According to LawPlus Ltd. (2019),[7] "a copyright work does not need distinctiveness required for a trademark but it must be a creative expression of an original idea of its author. The required level of originality or creativity is minimal." It can be interpreted that Thailand's threshold of originality for logos is low.
