With the development of digital economy, the economic value of
data is becoming more and more prominent. Nowadays, data has become a
“rich mine” to enhance the competitive advantage of enterprises, and the unfair
competition around data has become increasingly noisy. The problem of unfair
competition in the domestic market is becoming more and more prominent,
but because of the fuzzy rules and the lag of rule-making compared with the
development of practice, there is no unified cognition on the identification of
unfair competition behavior in data. Through the analysis of typical cases, it is
found that the focus of data unfair competition cases can be divided into: the
definition of data ownership; Identification of data impropriety. At present, the
data ownership issue has not been clearly defined in relevant legislation of our
country, and there is a great controversy in academic field. At the same time,
when identifying acts of unfair competition involving data, we should also study
whether there are cases of violating commercial ethics or copying and copying
others’ data. In view of these problems, the following regulation suggestions are
put forward: to improve the definition of data ownership in judicial practice;
Regulating unfair competition in data utilization.
