Article 99 of the original "General Principles of the Civil Law" stipulates: "Citizens enjoy the right of name and have the right to decide, use and change their names in accordance with regulations, and prohibit others from doing so. Interference, misappropriation, counterfeiting.” Article 6 of the "Anti-Unfair Competition Law" stipulates: "Operators shall not engage in the following confusing behaviors to cause people to mistakenly think that they are other people's goods or have a specific connection with others: (2) Use other people's business names (including abbreviations) that have certain influence without authorization. , font size, etc.), name of social organization (including abbreviation, etc.), name (including pen name, stage name, translated name, etc.)." Article 20 of the "Regulations of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Trial of Administrative Cases concerning the Authorization and Confirmation of Trademark Rights" stipulates: "If the party claims that the trademark in dispute infringes upon its right to name, if the relevant public believes that the trademark mark refers to the natural person, it is easy to believe that the mark has If the goods with the trademark are licensed by the natural person or have a specific connection with the natural person, the people's court shall determine that the trademark damages the name right of the natural person; the party claims the name right by using a specific name such as a pen name, stage name, translated name, etc., and the specific name If it has a certain degree of popularity and has established a stable corresponding relationship with the natural person, and the relevant public uses it to refer to the natural person, the people's court will support it."
It can be seen that stage names and name rights have both similarities and differences. The stage name and the right to name are both personal rights, but the right to name is more of an innate natural attribute and natural right. Therefore, the right to name of a natural person is included in the basic rights category of the General Principles of Civil Law for regulation. A stage name is not an innate right. In addition to personal attributes, it also carries a stable correspondence with a specific natural person, as well as corresponding property attributes and public interests (mainly referring to the public, especially fans). The establishment of this stable correspondence mainly comes from the popularity of the stage name.
