아이디어 표현 이분법(Idea-expression Dichotomy)이란 아이디어 자체만으로는 저작권으로 보호될 수 없고 창의성을 가진 표현만이 저작권으로 보호된다는 저작권보호의 원칙이다. 그러나 아이디어와 표현의 경계가 끊임없이 변화하고, 때때로 아이디어와 표현의 전통적인 원칙이 깨어지기도 하며, 일부 저작물에 대해서는 아이디어 표현 이분법을 적용하는 것이 적절하지 않은 등 아이디어와 표현을 이분하는 것이 항상 쉽지만은 않고 아이디어와 표현을 이분함에 있어서 많은 문제점과 한계가 있다. 따라서 보다 적절한 저작권 보호를 위해서는 아이디어 표현 이분법 적용에서의 보다 포괄적이고도 면밀한 접근이 필요할 것으로 본다. 이 글에서는 아이디어와 표현의 정의, 아이디어 표현 이분법의 함축적인 의의를 살펴보고, 아이디어와 표현의 변화 양상, 즉 아이디어와 표현의 경계의 변화와 아이디어 표현 이분법의 한계를 고찰한다. 또한, 한국 판결들에서의 아이디어 표현 이분법의 구체적인 적용양상을 살펴보고, 아이디어 표현 이분법 기준에 대한 재검토의 필요성을 제시하면서, 저작물에서 보호받을 수 있는 요소와 보호받지 못하는 요소의 구별에 대한 새로운 시각이 필요하다고 본다. 전통적인 아이디어와 표현 이분법을 그대로 적용하기 보다는 아이디어와 표현의 경계에 있는 보호받을만한 아이디어와 표현의 보호여부 결정에 보다 신중할 필요가 있고, 경우에 따라서는 아이디어 또한 저작권으로 보호할 필요가 있다고 본다.
Abstract
The idea-expression dichotomy, which has been widely applied to all the intellectual property, refers to a copyright protection standard that ideas themselves are not protected, but only expressions with creativity are protected by copyright. However, dividing the border between ideas and expressions is not always simple, having various problems and limitations, in that the border between ideas and expressions is constantly changing and sometimes the traditional idea-expression dichotomy seems to be broken or inappropriate to be applied in certain copyrighted works. Now, more comprehensive and delicate approach in applying the idea-expression dichotomy is necessary for more appropriate copyright protection. This article examines the definition of ideas and expressions, and the implications of the idea-expression dichotomy, and then reviews changing aspects of the idea and expression separation, that is, the changing border line between ideas and expressions, and the limitations of the idea-expression dichotomy. This article also reviews the specific applications of the idea-expression dichotomy in Korean cases where the courts made decisions under the idea-expression dichotomy. Finally, this article suggests the necessity of rethinking the idea-expression dichotomy standard for more appropriate copyright protection and redefining copyrightable and un-copyrightable elements in the copyrighted works.
