Chapter VII Dispute Resolution
The law as Act Partially Amending the Copyright Act (Act No. 48 of 2026) leaves it, with the words it changes marked.
The main text is read a page at a time: a chapter to a page, and a long chapter in runs of articles. The whole main text, and the supplementary provisions and appended tables this amendment changes. Those it leaves untouched are on the page for the text in force.
In order for disputes concerning the rights provided for in this Act to be resolved through mediation, mediators for copyright dispute resolution (hereinafter in this Chapter referred to as "mediators") are placed on staff at the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
この法律に規定する権利に関する紛争につきあつせんによりその解決を図るため、文化庁に著作権紛争解決あつせん委員（以下この章において「委員」という。）を置く。
The Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs delegates up to three mediators for each case, from among persons of learning and experience in matters related to copyright or neighboring rights.
委員は、文化庁長官が、著作権又は著作隣接権に係る事項に関し学識経験を有する者のうちから、事件ごとに三人以内を委嘱する。
If a dispute arises in connection with a right provided for in this Act, a party to the dispute may file an application for mediation with the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
この法律に規定する権利に関し紛争が生じたときは、当事者は、文化庁長官に対し、あつせんの申請をすることができる。
A person that applies for mediation must pay the application fee that has been fixed by Cabinet Order in consideration of actual costs.
あつせんの申請をする者は、実費を勘案して政令で定める額の手数料を納付しなければならない。
The provisions of the preceding paragraph do not apply if the person that would be required to pay an application fee pursuant to the provisions of that paragraph is the national government.
前項の規定は、同項の規定により手数料を納付すべき者が国であるときは、適用しない。
If the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs receives an application based on the provisions of Article 106 from both parties, or, if the Commissioner receives an application from one of the parties and the other party consents, the commissioner is to refer the matter to mediation by the mediators.
文化庁長官は、第百六条の規定に基づき当事者の双方からあつせんの申請があつたとき、又は当事者の一方からあつせんの申請があつた場合において他の当事者がこれに同意したときは、委員によるあつせんに付するものとする。
The Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs may refrain from referring a matter to mediation if the commissioner finds that the nature of cases renders it inappropriate for mediation, or if the commissioner finds that a party has applied for mediation without due cause and in pursuit of an unjustifiable end.
文化庁長官は、前項の申請があつた場合において、事件がその性質上あつせんをするのに適当でないと認めるとき、又は当事者が不当な目的でみだりにあつせんの申請をしたと認めるときは、あつせんに付さないことができる。
A mediator must endeavor to resolve a case by mediating between the parties and ascertaining the salient points of both parties' assertions in line with actual circumstances.
委員は、当事者間をあつせんし、双方の主張の要点を確かめ、実情に即して事件が解決されるように努めなければならない。
A mediator may cut the mediation short if the mediator finds there to be no prospect of settling cases.
委員は、事件が解決される見込みがないと認めるときは、あつせんを打ち切ることができる。
When a mediation ends, a mediator must report this to the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
委員は、あつせんが終わつたときは、その旨を文化庁長官に報告しなければならない。
If a mediator cuts a mediation short pursuant to the provisions of the preceding Article, the mediator must inform the parties of this and of the reason for doing so, as well as reporting this to the Commissioner of the Agency for Cultural Affairs.
委員は、前条の規定によりあつせんを打ち切つたときは、その旨及びあつせんを打ち切ることとした理由を、当事者に通知するとともに文化庁長官に報告しなければならない。
Beyond what is provided for in this Chapter, the necessary particulars of the procedures for mediation and mediators are provided for by Cabinet Order.
