Reasons for enterprises to protect intellectual property rights:
When developing new products (here refers to products in a broad sense, including all tangible and intangible products), enterprises will inevitably invest a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources if intellectual property rights are not effectively protected.
Then competitors will obtain intellectual property rights at low cost through improper means such as imitation, copying, reverse engineering and commercial espionage, so as to produce new products to participate in market competition. Because its new products do not invest in R&D cost, the price is naturally low, which will seriously damage the innovative enterprises that invest in R&D cost, and sometimes this damage is fatal.
