摘要:

在全球元宇宙建设的热潮中,开发并运营虚拟空间相关产品,已经成为各国政府和企业布局元宇宙产业的重要举措。但是,虚拟空间的权属整体上并不清晰,尤其是当基于现实物理空间开发虚拟空间产品时,两类空间的权益可能存在直接或者间接的冲突。为了推动元宇宙的健康有序发展,有必要在厘清物理空间法律属性的基础上,对元宇宙虚拟空间权利人赋予一种“准物权”的新兴财产权利,并建构物理空间和虚拟空间权益冲突的解决规则,在维护物理空间权利的基础上,保障元宇宙虚拟空间相关产品能得到有效开发和运营。

Abstract:

In the global wave of building the metaverse, to develop and run virtual-spatial products becomes the business focus of commercial investors. Nevertheless, the ownership of virtual spaces is not clear in the current law. In particular, when virtual-spatial products are run in physical spaces, a direct or indirect conflict between virtual-spatial rights and physical-spatial rights seems inevitable. In order to promote a healthy growth of the metaverse, this article proposes to grant “quasi-property rights” to the developer of virtual-spatial products and to design legal rules to resolve any potential conflict between two types of spatial rights.
