1, intellectual achievement is the object of intellectual property.
The object of intellectual property is the spiritual product created by people in the fields of science, technology, culture and other knowledge forms, that is, knowledge products. Knowledge product is an object of civil rights that coexists with material products. Generally speaking, intellectual property rights are often divided into three categories, patent right, copyright right and trademark right.
2. Legal basis: Article 3 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).
The term "works" as mentioned in this Law refers to intellectual achievements that are original and can be expressed in a certain form in the fields of literature, art and science, including:
(1) Written works;
(2) Oral works;
(3) Music, drama, folk art, dance and acrobatic works;
(4) Artistic and architectural works;
(5) Photographic works;
(6) Audio-visual works;
(seven) engineering design drawings, product design drawings, maps, schematic diagrams and other graphic works and model works;
(8) Computer software;
(9) other intellectual achievements that meet the characteristics of the work.
Second, what are the characteristics of the object of intellectual property?
1, the object of intellectual property is intellectual achievements and commercial marks without material form. This is why intellectual property rights are different from property rights. Specifically, the object of copyright is a work, the object of patent right is an invention and the object of trademark right is a trademark.
2. Exclusivity, also known as monopoly, means that there can only be one intellectual property right on the same intellectual achievement or business mark. For example, if two or more people make the same invention, only one person can be granted a patent right; If two people apply for the registration of a trademark for the same commodity with the same or similar marks, the Trademark Office can only register one of them, but not both;
3. regionality. Regionality means that intellectual property rights are only valid within the geographical scope of a specific country or region, and this regionality gradually disappears with the international protection of intellectual property rights; And the authorization and transfer of intellectual property rights are all related to the region. That is, the authorization and transfer of intellectual property rights must be clear about the geographical scope, and only a specific geographical area is authorized to exercise intellectual property rights, so it is an infringement for the licensee to exercise intellectual property rights beyond that geographical scope;
4. timeliness. All intellectual property rights have a certain period of time. After this time, the intellectual achievements protected by intellectual property rights will enter the public domain and be enjoyed by all mankind, and anyone can use them for free. However, the limitation of trademark right is purely based on management needs, and the trademark owner can continue to renew it.
