자율주행 상용화를 위한 공간정보 이용 활성화 방안- 저작권법과 공공데이터법의 조화를 중심으로 -

In order to commercialize autonomous driving, spatial information stored in a form that automobiles can recognize is essential. Therefore, this study examines whether spatial information can be protected as works and databases under the Copyright Act and furthermore the scope of free use for commercial use, focusing on provisions of the Copyright Act and judicial precedents. In particular, while previous studies have discussed on whether spatial information is subject to protection and the extent to which free use is allowed under the Copyright Act, this study addresses the relationship between related laws such as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Act and the Public Data Act. In this context, this study proposes the amendment of the current Copyright Act to harmonize with the Public Data Act and the development of a license model that can be used when spatial information is provided for commercial purposes for a fee, in the context of smooth distribution of spatial information required for autonomous driving, in order to respond to the commercialization of autonomous driving in the future.
