The relationship between legal protection of copyright and encouraging innovation

The intellectual property system came into being with the industrial revolution, which is the product of the development of advanced productive forces. 1624, Britain promulgated the Monopoly Law, the first patent law with modern significance in the world, which gave birth to the first industrial revolution represented by steam engines and power machinery. Nowadays, the United States regards intellectual property as the basic strategic resource of the country, and Japan has clearly put forward the basic national policy of building the country from science and technology to intellectual property. Judging from the history of innovation and development in various countries, the process of independent innovation in science and technology is obviously positively related to intellectual property protection. Only by attaching importance to intellectual property strategy, perfecting intellectual property laws and striving for more international discourse rights of intellectual property can we improve the level of innovation and enhance core competitiveness.

The concentrated expression of independent innovation is to build an innovative province and an innovative country. On the surface, it relies on independent innovation of science and technology, and on the deeper level, it is the advantage of creating and cultivating independent intellectual property rights in society. The symbol of judging independent innovation is having independent intellectual property rights, and the core of promoting independent innovation is protecting intellectual property rights. Specifically, intellectual property rights can protect the legitimate rights and interests of inventors; Effectively allocate innovative resources, promote the commercialization and marketization of new technologies, and stimulate intellectual property risk investment; Master the technical standards and cultivate the innovative strategy of "technology patenting-patent standardization-standard licensing". It can be seen that intellectual property rights are not only the starting point and foothold of independent innovation, but also the basis and measurement index of independent innovation.
