Începuturile protecţiei programelor pentru calculator în dreptul comparat – Japonia (I)
The beginnings of software protection in the comparative law Japan (I)

Summary/Abstract: It is not easy to make a firm conclusion on the differences in between the legal reglementation on intellectual property in Japan and occidental legislation: cultural differences, the interpretation on what cultural differences are and on the interpretation on what culture is, the notion of importance to the general population in regard protocol implementation, interpretation of the economic importance and future planning (strategy) influence the political approach through legislation. Japan has put the emphasis on hardware rather than software in order to control/influence the innovation impact in time.The mere difference in languages (cca 260 characters vs 7000 characters) and its specific interpretation possibilities makes it difficult to come with a firm acceptable assessment, and yet the paradox of relating to tradition and culture to build spectacular innovation makes the Japanese example overwhelming.
