输入法软件混淆搜索结果行为作为互联网领域出现的一种新型不正当竞争行为,具有隐蔽性强、损害后果严重、维权成本高、违法成本低的特征。该行为的违法性认定可遵循公认的商业道德和“非公益必要不干扰”原则,从主体资格、客观行为、主观过错和侵害客体四个方面进行违法性认定:首先,输入法软件及搜索引擎经营者均属于反不正当竞争法意义上的适格主体,二者因存在共同的利益而具有竞争关系;其次,输入法软件混淆搜索结果的技术具有创新性但不具备中立性,不正当地获取竞争利益,损害搜索引擎经营者的合法竞争利益;再次,该行为不符合用户的使用习惯及心理预期,侵害了用户的知情权和选择权;最后,输入法软件通过“搭便车”的方式劫持搜索引擎用户流量,不仅损害了诚实经营者的合法利益、用户的合法权利,还破坏了互联网市场的正常竞争秩序。在认定该行为构成不正当竞争行为的基础上,再从民事、行政、刑事三个角度全方面探讨其法律责任,以期达到有效规制该类行为,维护互联网市场正常竞争秩序的效果。
As a new type of unfair competition in Internet, IMIS confuses the search result behavior with the characteristic of concealed, serious damage, high cost of rights protection and low illegal cost. The illegal behavior of the act can be recognized in accordance with the principles of business ethics and “non-public interests do not interfere ” from the four aspects of the main qualifications, objective behavior, subjective fault and infringement of the object to determine the illegality: First, the input method software and Search engine operators belong to the appropriate subject in the sense of anti-unfair competition law, both of which compete because of common interests. Secondly, IME confuses search results with innovative technology but without neutrality, Local access to competitive interests, undermine the search engine operator’s legitimate competitive interests; Third, the behavior does not meet the user’s habits and psychological expectations, infringes the user’s right to know and the right to choose; Finally, the input method software through the “free-riding ”Hijack search engine user traffic, not only undermined the legitimate interests of honest operators, the legitimate rights of users, but also undermined the normal competitive order of the Internet market. On the basis of determining that the act constitutes unfair competition, it also discusses its legal responsibilities from all angles of civil, administrative and criminal aspects in order to achieve the effect of effectively regulating such acts and maintaining the normal competitive order in the Internet market.
