What can ordinary citizens do to protect intellectual property rights?

Legal subjectivity:

As citizens, we should not only understand and know the relevant laws and regulations of intellectual property rights, but also respect and protect intellectual property rights with practical actions. Learn relevant intellectual property laws and regulations, and let yourself know what infringement of intellectual property rights is, for example, counterfeiting brands belongs to trademark infringement, copying other people's technology belongs to patent infringement, copying other people's works belongs to copyright infringement, and so on.

Legal objectivity:

Article 12 of the Patent Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) Any unit or individual who exploits another person's patent shall conclude an exploitation license contract with the patentee and pay the patentee the royalties. The licensee has no right to allow any unit or individual other than those stipulated in the contract to exploit the patent.
