第二届网络空间治理中国论坛暨中国科学技术法学会网络空间法专业委员会2020年年会于2020年9月20日在网上召开。 北京师范大学互联网政策与法律研究中心等 高校研究机构、学术团体为 网络空间治理中国论坛的支持单位。

北京师范大学互联网政策与法律研究中心教授、主任,中国法学会网络与信息法学研究会常务理事,联合国亚太无纸化贸易专家 薛虹教授就电子商务平台知识产权保护机制、风险与未来发表专题演讲。薛教授指出,对电子商务平台的知识产权保护机制进行了结构化梳理,完整路径包括:知识产权人通知、平台措施、平台内经营者的声明、平台措施的终止、公示。平台的知识产权保护有益于促进发展、保护权益、生态治理。但其中存在的难题是,删除与否的选择。对于平台风险控制,从平台选择的角度可考虑的因素包括商业模式、风险偏好、承担能力、成本核算、信用记录。未来则需要生态治理、技术创新和信用体系的协同共建。法律制度规范、经济发展规律以及国际社会发展都是不可或缺的考量因素。

会议持续一天,在精彩分享中落幕。网会期间在线参会的峰值人数达到160人左右,反映了社会各界对网络空间治理的高度关注。在主办单位、协办单位、支持单位的精诚合作之下,经过全体参会人员的共同努力,本次会议取得圆满成功。
