摘 要：电视节目模板已经在国际上形成了一个巨大的产业,但人们对它本身的认识及其法律保护问题仍存在着巨大的分歧.在各国现行的法律框架下,虽然电视节目模板的某些元素分别受到不同法律的保护,但电视节目模板作为一个整体往往不符合版权法的保护标准,也很难受到反不正当竞争法的保护.

UK broadcaster ITV is declining to comment on speculation that it is considering a bid for Big Brother producer Endemol. According to UK press reports, ITV is preparing to make an offer for Endemol as its owner, Telefonica, prepares to invite closed bids for the production giant. It is thought that Endemol has been a long-term strategic target for ITV. Endemol senior management are said to be well aware of ITV's interest. However, an ITV spokesman refuted the claims today. "We do not comment on speculation and that is all it is," he insisted. Endemol's founder John de Mol, Endemol France head Stephane Courbit and private equity group Apax are also expected to make bids for the producer. It is thought that bidding could begin as early as next week, when Endemol is expected to hold an EGM.

DISCOP 07
Paris, 24 January. 2007 will be one of the most eventful year ever for Central & Eastern Europe’s booming television industry as most countries are pushing hard on the transition from analogue to digital broadcasting while at the same time many of them are already embracing IPTV.
As a result, close to 650 national, regional, thematic TV stations, VOD, Telco operators and DVD distributors from Central & Eastern Europe are expected to send about 1000 programming, acquisitions, production and distribution executives to Budapest for the 15th edition of the annual 3-day DISCOP content market which will take place from 20 to 22 June at the SOFITEL ATRIUM HOTEL in Budapest.
To better welcome an expected 25% increase in attendance over 2006, the market will be held during 3 weekdays (Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) instead of 2 weekdays plus a Saturday as in the past.
With still 5 months to go before DISCOP 07, all exhibits have already been sold out to 173 international TV content sales organizations, the vast majority of them being DISCOP veteran companies eager to pre-organize their meetings with the +/- 700 already confirmed Central & Eastern European TV content BUYERS.
Many additional non-exhibiting sales organizations are still expected to register while an increased number of national pavilions will also be at DISCOP 07 representing France, Italy, Spain, Korea and Israel.
