Research on the Legitimacy of the Resale Right

Abstract

The resale right system, first created in France in 1920, has a history of one hundred years and has been confirmed by dozens of national legislations. In general, the introduction of the resale right has become a trend in the legislation of various countries. But the universal establishment of the resale right does not necessarily mean that it has legitimacy. On the issue of whether the introduction of the resale right is justified, the views of supporters and opponents are tit-for-tat, and several major points of controversy have formed. By sorting out the disputes involved in the resale right system, clarifying the core problems of introducing the resale right, and demonstrating its legitimacy, it is reasonable and feasible to introduce the resale right.
