Article 74Depositing Compensation

第七十四条(補償金等の供託)

In the following cases, a person that is required to pay the compensation referred to in Article 33, paragraph (2) (including as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (4) of that Article); Article 33-2, paragraph (2); Article 33-3, paragraph (2); Article 68, paragraph (1); or Article 69, paragraph (1) must deposit the compensation instead of paying it:

第三十三条第二項(同条第四項において準用する場合を含む。)、第三十三条の二第二項、第三十三条の三第二項、第六十八条第一項又は第六十九条第一項の補償金を支払うべき者は、次に掲げる場合には、その補償金の支払に代えてその補償金を供託しなければならない。

the compensation has been tendered and the copyright owner refuses to receive it;

補償金の提供をした場合において、著作権者がその受領を拒んだとき。

the copyright owner is unable to receive the compensation;

著作権者が補償金を受領することができないとき。

the copyright owner cannot be identified by the person required to pay (excluding a case where that person is at fault);

その者が著作権者を確知することができないとき(その者に過失があるときを除く。)。

the person required to pay brings an action as referred to in Article 72, paragraph (1) with respect to the amount of compensation;

その者がその補償金の額について第七十二条第一項の訴えを提起したとき。

a pledge has been established on the copyright (this excludes when authorization has been obtained from the pledgee).

当該著作権を目的とする質権が設定されているとき(当該質権を有する者の承諾を得た場合を除く。)。

If the copyright owner so requests, in cases referred to in item (iv) of the preceding paragraph, the person that is required to pay compensation must pay the sum that accords with the person's own calculations and deposit the difference between the sum that person calculates and the amount of compensation as per the compulsory license.

前項第四号の場合において、著作権者の請求があるときは、当該補償金を支払うべき者は、自己の見積金額を支払い、裁定に係る補償金の額との差額を供託しなければならない。

A deposit of compensation under the provisions of Article 67, paragraph (1); Article 67-2, paragraph (5); Article 67-3, paragraph (1); or the preceding two paragraphs or a deposit of collateral under the provisions of Article 67-2, paragraph (1) is to be made at the deposit office nearest to the known domicile or residence of the copyright owner, if the copyright owner is domiciled or resides in Japan, or at the deposit office nearest to the domicile or residence of the depositor in any other case.

第六十七条第一項、第六十七条の二第五項、第六十七条の三第一項若しくは前二項の規定による補償金の供託又は第六十七条の二第一項の規定による担保金の供託は、著作権者が国内に住所又は居所で知れているものを有する場合にあつては当該住所又は居所の最寄りの供託所に、その他の場合にあつては供託をする者の住所又は居所の最寄りの供託所に、それぞれするものとする。

A person that makes a deposit referred to in the preceding paragraph must promptly notify the copyright owner of that deposit; provided, however, that this does not apply if the copyright owner cannot be notified due to reasons such as the copyright owner being unknown.

前項の供託をした者は、すみやかにその旨を著作権者に通知しなければならない。ただし、著作権者の不明その他の理由により著作権者に通知することができない場合は、この限りでない。
