[# HowNet was awarded 100000 #] tianyancha app shows that recently, several first instance documents of copyright ownership and infringement disputes between Beijing Century superstar Information Technology Development Co., Ltd. and China Academic Journal (CD version) e-magazine Co., Ltd. were made public**
According to the document, the plaintiff century superstar company claimed that according to the power of attorney, the plaintiff enjoyed the information network dissemination right of the works of Wang and Zhang, and the "mobile HowNet" operated by the defendant provided paid online reading and paid download services of the above articles without permission. His behavior seriously infringed upon the plaintiff's rights and interests and caused serious economic losses to the plaintiff. The defendant academic journal company argued that the signing time of the power of attorney submitted by century superstar company was later than the publication time of some works. Since the end of the 20th century, the academic journal company has carried out the electronic publishing of academic journals in response to policy needs, and obtained the authorization before century superstar company; The articles involved in the case were published in relevant journals by the author and belong to the contents of the journal. The academic journal company has obtained the authorization of the journal party.
The court held that the evidence submitted by the academic journal company was insufficient to prove that it had previously obtained the information network dissemination right of the works involved or other legal authorization to use the works involved; The academic journal company collects the articles involved and provides download services, which does not belong to the act of reprinting or abstracting between journals. It advocates the defense of legal permission of journals, which lacks factual and legal basis. Finally, the court ordered the academic journal company to compensate century superstar for its economic losses and rights protection expenses, totaling more than 100000 yuan.
It is worth mentioning that century superstar has sued academic journal companies for many times and won the lawsuit, mostly due to copyright ownership and infringement disputes.
