Can scientific discovery be the object of intellectual property protection? Why?

1. If you describe and explain scientific discoveries and express your own unique views, the works formed on this basis can be protected as copyright.

2. If you just apply for a patent for scientific discovery, it won't work. The object of scientific discovery should be regularity and objectivity, rather than being invented by someone, such as the theory of relativity and the law of gravity; If a series of achievements are developed by scientific discoveries, they can be protected as patents. For example, Edison invented the light bulb according to the relevant principles of electricity.

Intellectual property can be divided into three categories: copyright, patent right and trademark right.
