Although intellectual property rights are not like machinery and equipment workshops, they are fixed assets, tangible property rights and intangible property. But intellectual property is intangible property, but intangible property is not equal to non-real economy. Patented technologies protected by intellectual property rights are embodied in the real economy. For example, if autonomous driving technology is applied to physical electric vehicles, copyrighted works are also real works, and even e-books are real works. The economic activities they participate in are also real economic activities, and the operation and use of intellectual property rights are also affected by specific products and business activities. This is my opinion.
In addition, do you think the digital economy is a virtual economy or a real economy? The transaction of pure digital assets may be virtual, but the economy affected by the transaction of digital assets is indeed the real economy. For example, China people's trade preference data on clothing will lead to changes in the clothing industry, which is an impact on the real economy, rather than a simple flow of digital assets.
