It is illegal to infringe on the rights of others.

Infringement refers to an illegal act that infringes on the personal property or intellectual property rights of others and is subject to civil liability according to law. After an infringement occurs, a specific civil rights and obligations relationship arises between the infringer and the victim, that is, the victim has the right to demand compensation for losses from the infringer. Civil rights, including rights to life, health, name, reputation, honor, portrait, privacy, marital autonomy, custody, ownership, usufruct rights, security rights, copyrights, patents, and trademark exclusive rights , discovery rights, equity rights, inheritance rights and other personal and property rights. The perpetrator infringes upon personal, property and other legitimate rights and interests due to fault and shall bear civil liability for illegal acts in accordance with the law, as well as other infringement acts for which he shall bear civil liability in accordance with special provisions of the law.

This responsibility is strictly prohibited by law; a tort also It is also an act that causes harm to others, and the perpetrator must compensate the injured person.

As to whether the rights and interests are recognized and protected by law, it can be determined in three situations: One situation is that the object of the infringement is an interest that is absolutely protected by law. This kind of rights and interests is cosmopolitan, that is, everyone in the world has the obligation not to infringe, and the obligor is not specific. No matter who it is, anyone who infringes upon this right is an infringement. For example, under normal circumstances, the personal rights and property rights of civil subjects are rights and interests absolutely protected by law.

Another situation is that the object of the infringement belongs to the object of "relative protection" of the law.

The law provides protection only if the perpetrator violates these conditions. For example, when a doctor treats a disease and saves a patient, he not only has to remove the patient's disease, but also for the benefit of the patient, when removing the patient, he must also remove some of the patient's good organs or body.
