摘要
在1990年12月以前,建筑作品是作为绘画、图形和雕塑作品获得版权保护的.但是建筑本身被认为是一种实用物品,因而不受版权的保护.然而在1989年3月1日,美国加入《伯尔尼公约》.为了履行公约义务,美国国会通过了《1990年建筑作品版权保护法》(简称AWCPA),对《1976年版权法》进行了相应的修正,建筑作品作为独立的一类作品受版权法的保护,拓宽了建筑作品的保护范围,对建筑作品侵权的认定标准也发生变化.
Before December of 1990, architectural works as pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works were protected by copyright law, excluding the buildings which are viewed as useful articles. On March 1, 1989, the United States joined the Berne Convention. In order to completely align the United States with the Berne Convention, the Architectural Works Copyright Protection Act （＂AWCPA＂） was passed, and it did some revisions in the United States for the Copyright Act of 1976 （1976 Act）. The architectural designs embodied in buildings are protected by the Copyrigt Act. It extends the protective range of the architectural works. The firmly believed standards to the architectural works infringement are changed.
