The types of intellectual property rights include

Although intellectual property is often mentioned by people, what is intellectual property? Intellectual property always seems to be a very tall industry. Intellectual property is actually an intangible asset; It is not difficult to find that listening to music today is not like listening to whatever songs you want in the past. We need to become a paid member or buy copyright on an authorized platform. This is actually the simplest intellectual property right around us.

Intellectual property, also known as intellectual property, refers to the property rights enjoyed by the obligee on the fruits created by his intellectual labor, which are generally valid only for a limited time. Intellectual property is the exclusive right of intellectual labor achievements created by human beings in social practice. In essence, intellectual property is an intangible property right, and its object is intellectual achievements or knowledge products, an intangible property or formless spiritual wealth, and a labor achievement created by creative intellectual labor. Like tangible property such as houses and cars, it is protected by national laws and has value and use value. The value of some major patents, well-known trademarks or works is much higher than tangible property such as houses and cars.

What are the characteristics of intellectual property rights?

(1) Intellectual property is an intangible property.

Intellectual property is the ownership of the results produced by intellectual labor, and it is an exclusive right granted to qualified authors, inventors or owners of results in a certain period of time according to the laws of various countries. It has two types: one is copyright (also known as copyright and literary property rights) and the other is industrial property rights (also known as industrial property rights).

(2) Intellectual property rights are exclusive.

The exclusiveness of intellectual property refers to exclusiveness or monopoly; Without the consent of the creditor or the law, no one except the creditor may enjoy or use this right. This shows that the exclusive right of the obligee is strictly protected from infringement by others. Only through legal procedures such as "compulsory license" and "expropriation" can the exclusive right of the obligee be changed. The object of intellectual property is the intellectual achievement of human beings, which is neither a person nor a personality, nor something tangible or intangible outside, so it can neither belong to personality rights nor property rights.

Intellectual property is a complete right, but the interests as the content of the right are both economic and non-economic, so it cannot be said that intellectual property is a combination of the two kinds of rights. For example, copyright is the combination of personal rights (or personality rights or spiritual rights) and property rights, which is wrong. Intellectual property is a kind of right with complex content (multiple functions), economy and non-economy. Therefore, intellectual property rights should be juxtaposed with personality rights and property rights and form a class of their own.

Legal basis: Article 123 of General Principles of Civil Law stipulates that civil subjects shall enjoy intellectual property rights according to law. Intellectual property rights are the exclusive rights enjoyed by the obligee to the following objects according to law:

(1) works;

(2) Inventions, utility models and designs;

(3) Trademarks;

(4) Geographical indications;

(5) Business secrets;

(6) Layout design of integrated circuits;

(7) New plant varieties;

(8) Other objects prescribed by law.
