Discuss why intellectual property is the premise of developing cultural industries.

First of all, we should clarify two concepts: "intellectual property" and "cultural industry". The so-called intellectual property rights, also known as intellectual achievements rights and intellectual property rights, refer to "the exclusive rights enjoyed by the obligee for the intellectual labor achievements created by him", generally referring to patent rights (inventions, utility models and designs) and trademark rights (trademarks, service trademarks, names of manufacturers and suppliers, etc.). ) and copyright can be divided into copyright and industrial property rights, the latter including patent right and trademark right. The so-called cultural industry refers to the operating industry engaged in the production of cultural products and the provision of cultural services. It is generally called copyright industry in the United States and creative industry in Britain. In fact, foreign names reflect the characteristics of their intellectual property rights.

In the final analysis, the cultural industry is both a content industry and a knowledge industry. Its core is intellectual creativity and creation, and its achievements are reflected in copyright. Without copyright, the core thing, culture cannot be industrialized, and there is no so-called cultural industry. For example, the Disney series and Hollywood movies, if there were no copyright, would not have such achievements today, and would not have developed to this day.

The industrialization development of culture must take the road of productization and commercialization. What does this road mean? It means having a logo and creating a brand. The industrialization achievement of cultural products is the exclusive ownership of cultural trademark rights. Such as DreamWorks, Disney and other world-renowned cultural brands.

In addition to copyright and trademark rights, the industrialization of culture needs certain technical support. Without technical support, culture cannot be integrated with modern science and technology. For example, Apple computer, Apple mobile phone. On the one hand, technology promotes the integration of culture and new technology; On the other hand, it promotes the development of culture and technology. For example, the invention of paper became the carrier of books and other cultural achievements, and later there were films, tapes, CDs, networks and other carriers, which greatly promoted the spread and development of culture. The result of this integration of technology and culture is the exclusivity and ownership of patent right.

To develop cultural industry, we must take the road of cultural property rights. Without the confirmation and protection of this intangible cultural property right by law, culture cannot be industrialized and cultural industry cannot develop.
