Intellectual property rights can be roughly divided into two categories:
First, industrial property rights, including patents, trademarks, prohibition of unfair competition, trade secrets, geographical indications and so on. The other is copyright, also known as "copyright", which involves literary, artistic and scientific works, such as novels, poems, plays, movies, music, songs, fine arts, photography, sculpture and architectural design. Copyright in a broad sense also includes rights related to copyright, such as the rights of performers to their performances, the rights of producers of sound recordings to their sound recordings, and the rights of radio and television organizers to their radio and television programs.
In addition, with the continuous development of knowledge economy, the exclusive right of integrated circuit layout design, new plant variety right, anti-monopoly right and domain name right are gradually incorporated into the intellectual property system.
In fact, intellectual property is a broad concept in China. Although there is no intellectual property law, there are copyright law, patent law and other types of laws that constitute a broad intellectual property law. The purpose of intellectual property rights is to protect the rights of innovators and safeguard their rights from infringement. However, intellectual property rights also have a term of protection. In order to seek social welfare and promote social progress, the date must be made public.
