Article 114-6Confidentiality Protective Orders
第百十四条の六(秘密保持命令)
In litigation involving infringement of the moral rights of an author, a copyright, print rights, the moral rights of a performer, or neighboring rights, if a prima facie showing of circumstances that fall under both of following is made with regard to a trade secret kept by a party (meaning a trade secret as provided in Article 2, paragraph (6) of the Unfair Competition Prevention Act (Act No. 47 of 1993); the same applies hereinafter), the court, at the petition of the party, may issue a ruling ordering a party, etc., litigation representative, or assistant in court not to use the trade secret for purposes other than those of pursuing the relevant litigation, or not to disclose the trade secret to persons other than those that are subject to an order under the provisions of this paragraph that involves that trade secret; provided, however, that this does not apply if the party, etc., litigation representative, or assistant in court has acquired or gained possession of the relevant trade secret before the petition is filed, by means other than the perusal of the brief referred to in item (i) or the examination of evidence or disclosure referred to in that item:
裁判所は、著作者人格権、著作権、出版権、実演家人格権又は著作隣接権の侵害に係る訴訟において、その当事者が保有する営業秘密(不正競争防止法(平成五年法律第四十七号)第二条第六項に規定する営業秘密をいう。以下同じ。)について、次に掲げる事由のいずれにも該当することにつき疎明があつた場合には、当事者の申立てにより、決定で、当事者等、訴訟代理人又は補佐人に対し、当該営業秘密を当該訴訟の追行の目的以外の目的で使用し、又は当該営業秘密に係るこの項の規定による命令を受けた者以外の者に開示してはならない旨を命ずることができる。ただし、その申立ての時までに当事者等、訴訟代理人又は補佐人が第一号に規定する準備書面の閲読又は同号に規定する証拠の取調べ若しくは開示以外の方法により当該営業秘密を取得し、又は保有していた場合は、この限りでない。
a trade secret kept by a party is detailed in a brief that has already been submitted or that must be submitted, or a trade secret is included in the content of evidence that has already been examined or that must be examined (including documents or electronic or magnetic records disclosed pursuant to the provisions of Article 114-3, paragraph (3));
既に提出され若しくは提出されるべき準備書面に当事者の保有する営業秘密が記載され、又は既に取り調べられ若しくは取り調べられるべき証拠(第百十四条の三第三項の規定により開示された書類又は電磁的記録を含む。)の内容に当事者の保有する営業秘密が含まれること。
the use of the trade secret referred to in the preceding item for a purpose other than pursuing litigation or the disclosure of that trade secret would be likely to hinder the business activities of the party that are based on that trade secret, and it is necessary to restrict such use or disclosure in order to prevent such hindrance.
A petition for an order under the provisions of the preceding paragraph (hereinafter referred to as a "confidentiality protective order") must be filed in writing and detail the following particulars:
前項の規定による命令(以下「秘密保持命令」という。)の申立ては、次に掲げる事項を記載した書面でしなければならない。
the person that would be subject to the confidentiality protective order;
秘密保持命令を受けるべき者
facts sufficient to identify the trade secret that would be made the subject of the confidentiality protective order;
facts falling under the category of circumstances set forth in the items of the preceding paragraph.
前項各号に掲げる事由に該当する事実
If a confidentiality protective order has been issued, the electronic written ruling (meaning an electronic or magnetic record created pursuant to the provisions of Article 252, paragraph (1) of the Code of Civil Procedure as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 122 of that Act (limited to one recorded, pursuant to the provisions of Article 253, paragraph (2) of that Act as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to Article 122 of that Act, in a file kept on a computer (including input/output devices) used by the court); the same applies in the following paragraph and paragraph (2) of the following Article) must be served on the person to whom the confidentiality protective order has been issued.
秘密保持命令が発せられた場合には、その電子決定書(民事訴訟法第百二十二条において準用する同法第二百五十二条第一項の規定により作成された電磁的記録(同法第百二十二条において準用する同法第二百五十三条第二項の規定により裁判所の使用に係る電子計算機(入出力装置を含む。)に備えられたファイルに記録されたものに限る。)をいう。次項及び次条第二項において同じ。)を秘密保持命令を受けた者に送達しなければならない。
A confidentiality protective order takes effect when an electronic written ruling is served on the person to whom the confidentiality protective order has been issued.
An immediate appeal against a ruling may be filed against a judicial decision denying a petition for a confidentiality protective order.
秘密保持命令の申立てを却下した裁判に対しては、即時抗告をすることができる。
Article 114-7Cancelation of a Confidentiality Protective Order
第百十四条の七(秘密保持命令の取消し)
A person that petitions for a confidentiality protective order or a person that becomes subject to a confidentiality protective order may file a petition with the court that has cases record on file (if there is no such court, with the court that issued the order) to cancel the confidentiality protective order, on the grounds that any of the conditions referred to in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article are lacking or have come to be lacking.
Once the judicial decision is reached on a petition to cancel a confidentiality protective order, the electronic written ruling must be served on the person that has filed the petition and on the adverse party.
An immediate appeal against a ruling may be filed against a judicial decision on a petition to cancel a confidentiality protective order.
秘密保持命令の取消しの申立てについての裁判に対しては、即時抗告をすることができる。
A judicial decision canceling a confidentiality protective order does not take effect until it becomes final and binding.
秘密保持命令を取り消す裁判は、確定しなければその効力を生じない。
If the court reaches a judicial decision to cancel a confidentiality protective order, and any person other than the person that has filed the petition to cancel the confidentiality protective order or the adverse party is subject to a confidentiality protective order involving the relevant trade secret in the litigation in which such confidentiality protective order was issued, the court must immediately notify such person that it has reached a judicial decision to cancel the confidentiality protective order.
Article 114-8Notice of a Request to Inspect Case Records; Related Matters
第百十四条の八(訴訟記録の閲覧等の請求の通知等)
In the event that the ruling provided for in Article 92, paragraph (1) of the Code of Civil Procedure is reached with regard to cases record in connection with litigation in which a confidentiality protective order has been issued (excluding litigation with regard to which all confidentiality protective orders have been cancelled), if a party to cases requests to inspect, etc. a portion of cases record in which a secret provided for in that paragraph is entered, and the person filing such request is not subject to the confidentiality protective order in the relevant litigation, the court clerk, immediately after such request is filed, must notify the party that filed the petition referred to in that paragraph (unless the person filing that petition is the person filing the request; the same applies in paragraph (3)) that the request has been filed.
秘密保持命令が発せられた訴訟(全ての秘密保持命令が取り消された訴訟を除く。)に係る訴訟記録につき、民事訴訟法第九十二条第一項の決定があつた場合において、当事者から同項に規定する秘密記載部分の閲覧等の請求があり、かつ、その請求の手続を行つた者が当該訴訟において秘密保持命令を受けていない者であるときは、裁判所書記官は、同項の申立てをした当事者(その請求をした者を除く。第三項において同じ。)に対し、その請求後直ちに、その請求があつた旨を通知しなければならない。
In a case referred to in the preceding paragraph, the court clerk must not allow the person filing the request to inspect, etc. a portion of cases record in which a secret as referred to in that paragraph is entered, until two weeks have passed since the day the court clerk receives the request (or if, during those two weeks, a petition for a confidentiality protective order is filed against the person filing the request, the court clerk must not allow the person filing the request to inspect, etc. such a portion of cases record until the judicial decision on the petition becomes final and binding).
The provisions of the preceding two paragraphs do not apply if all parties concerned that have filed a petition as referred to in Article 92, paragraph (1) of the Code of Civil Procedure agree to allow the person filing the request referred to in paragraph (1) to inspect, etc. the portions of cases record in which the secrets referred to in that paragraph are entered.
前二項の規定は、第一項の請求をした者に同項の秘密記載部分の閲覧等をさせることについて民事訴訟法第九十二条第一項の申立てをした当事者のすべての同意があるときは、適用しない。
An author or performer may file a claim against a person that, intentionally or due to negligence, has infringed that author's or performer's moral rights, demanding that that person take the appropriate measures to ensure that the author or performer is identified as the author or performer, to correct modifications to the work or performance, or to restore the author's or performer's honor or reputation, either in lieu of or in addition to claiming damages.
Article 116Measures to Protect the Author's or Performer's Moral Interests Posthumously
第百十六条(著作者又は実演家の死後における人格的利益の保護のための措置)
After the death of an author or performer, a surviving family member (meaning a surviving spouse, child, parent, grandchild, grandparent, or sibling of the deceased author or performer; the same applies hereinafter in this Article) may file the claim referred to in Article 112 against a person that violates or is likely to violate the provisions of Article 60 or Article 101-3 with respect to the relevant author or the performer, and may file the claim referred to in the preceding Article against a person that, intentionally or due to negligence, infringes the moral rights of the author or performer or violates the provisions of Article 60 or Article 101-3.
The order in which surviving family members are permitted to file the claim referred to in the preceding paragraph is the order in which they are listed in that paragraph; provided, however, that if the author or performer leaves a will stipulating a different order, the order given in the will applies.
An author or performer, in a will, may designate the person that is permitted to file the claim referred to in paragraph (1) on behalf of the surviving family members. In this case, the designated person may not file such a claim once 70 years have passed, counting from the year after that in which the author or performer dies (or, if surviving family members are still alive at such a time, the designated person may not file such a claim once there are no longer any surviving family members).
Article 117Infringement with Respect to a Joint Work
第百十七条(共同著作物等の権利侵害)
Any one co-author or copyright owner in a joint work may file the claim referred to in Article 112, claim that co-author's or co-owner's personal share of compensation for damage due to copyright infringement, or claim the return of the benefit of any unjust enrichment in accordance with that co-author's or co-owner's personal share, without the consent of the other co-authors or co-owners of the copyright.
The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis in connection with infringement of a copyright or neighboring rights in co-ownership.
