Article31. Resulting similarities between software developed and software already in existence does not constitute a violation of the copyright of existing software in the following situations:

（一）由于必須執(zhí)行國(guó)家有關(guān)政策、法律、法規(guī)和規(guī)章；

(1) Because it is necessary for the execution of national policies, laws, and rules and regulations;

（二）由于必須執(zhí)行國(guó)家技術(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn)；

Article32. If a software owner is unaware that or has no reasonable basis to believe that the software infringes on a software product right, the responsibility for the violation shall be borne by the rights violator who provided the software.

However, when failure to destroy the infringed software will not adequately protect the rights and interests of the software copyright owner, the owner has a duty to destroy the infringing software, so that losses may be forced back onto the provider of the infringing software.

前款所稱侵權(quán)軟件的提供者包括明知是侵權(quán)軟件又向他人提供該侵權(quán)軟件者。

第三十五條? 軟件著作權(quán)合同糾紛可以調(diào)解，也可以依據(jù)合同中的仲裁條款或者事后達(dá)成的書面仲裁協(xié)議，向國(guó)家軟件著作權(quán)仲裁機(jī)構(gòu)申請(qǐng)仲裁。

Concerned parties will carry out an arbitration ruling. If one party fails to carry out the arbitration ruling, the other may bring a lawsuit before a People's Court.

受申請(qǐng)的人民法院發(fā)現(xiàn)仲裁裁決違法的，有權(quán)不予執(zhí)行。

人民法院不予執(zhí)行的，當(dāng)事人可以就合同糾紛向人民法院起訴。

If the People's Court does not carry out the ruling, concerns parties may bring a lawsuit before the People's Court.

當(dāng)事人沒有在合同中訂立仲裁條款，事后又沒有書面仲裁協(xié)議的，可以直接向人民法院起訴。

If concerned parties have not inserted an arbitration clause into the contract, and there is no written arbitration agreement after the event, they may bring a lawsuit directly before the People's Court.

第三十六條? 當(dāng)事人如對(duì)國(guó)家軟件著作權(quán)行政管理部門的行政處罰不服的，可以在自收到通知之日起三個(gè)月內(nèi)向人民法院起訴。

期滿不履行也不起訴的，國(guó)家軟件著作權(quán)行政管理部門可以申請(qǐng)人民法院強(qiáng)制執(zhí)行。
