Article 36Reproduction for Examination Questions; Related Matters

第三十六条(試験問題としての複製等)

It is permissible to reproduce a work that has been made public in a question on an entrance examination or other examination or in an official certification of knowledge or skills, to the extent that this is found to be necessary for such purpose, and to transmit to the public such a question (except in a broadcast or cablecast; however, it is permissible to make such a question available for transmission, if it is to be transmitted to the public via automatic public transmission; the same applies in the following paragraph); provided, however, that this does not apply if the action would unreasonably prejudice the interests of the copyright owner in light of the nature or purpose of the work or the circumstances of its transmission.

公表された著作物については、入学試験その他人の学識技能に関する試験又は検定の目的上必要と認められる限度において、当該試験又は検定の問題として複製し、又は公衆送信(放送又は有線放送を除き、自動公衆送信の場合にあつては送信可能化を含む。次項において同じ。)を行うことができる。ただし、当該著作物の種類及び用途並びに当該公衆送信の態様に照らし著作権者の利益を不当に害することとなる場合は、この限りでない。

A person that, for commercial purposes, reproduces a work or transmits it to the public as referred to in the preceding paragraph must pay the copyright owner compensation in an amount that corresponds to the ordinary rate of royalties.

営利を目的として前項の複製又は公衆送信を行う者は、通常の使用料の額に相当する額の補償金を著作権者に支払わなければならない。
