NFT交易平台著作权审查义务的认定——以“中国NFT第一案”为切入点
Determination of the Copyright Examination Obligation of NFT Trading Platforms—Taking “China’s First NFT Case” as an Entry Point

NFT即非同质化代币，本质上是一种在区块链上用来标识特定内容的数据。当前，NFT已成为数字作品的新型传播形式，催生出NFT交易平台，并且产生出诸如NFT作品交易的著作权属性、NFT交易平台著作权审查义务认定等问题。从NFT交易性质上看，NFT本质上是财产权的流转，但应当尊重当事人的意思自治，不应否认交易包含著作权的转让或许可。从NFT交易平台的著作权审查义务上看，NFT交易平台仅需具备一般性的审查义务，而不应具备过高的审查义务，只有特殊的NFT交易平台才需承担较高的知识产权审查义务。
NFT, or non-homogenized token, is essentially a kind of data used to identify specific content on the blockchain. Currently, NFT has become a new form of dissemination of digital works, giving rise to NFT trading platforms, and generating issues such as the copyright attributes of NFT work transactions, and the determination of the copyright review obligations of NFT trading platforms. In terms of the nature of NFT transactions, NFT is essentially a transfer of property rights, but the autonomy of the parties should be respected, and it should not be denied that the transactions include the transfer or licensing of copyrights. From the perspective of the copyright examination obligation of NFT transaction platform, NFT transaction platform only needs to have the general examination obligation, and should not have the excessive examination obligation, only the special NFT transaction platform needs to bear the higher intellectual property examination obligation.
