The business activities of foreign trade companies may involve different forms of intellectual property rights, such as patent rights, trademark rights, copyrights (especially computer software copyrights), trade secrets, domain names, etc. Therefore, it is recommended that the company plans and manages the intellectual property rights involved: 1. The company can assign a dedicated person to be responsible for the management of intellectual property rights, list the details, and establish files. 2. Classify intellectual property rights according to their actual value they can create, their importance to the company’s development, maintenance costs, etc. 3. Establish intellectual property data platforms, such as Chinese and foreign patent databases, Chinese science and technology journal databases, Chinese and foreign standards databases, etc., to keep abreast of the latest domestic and foreign data information, avoid duplication of research causing a waste of company capital, and avoid causing damage to other intellectual property rights holders of infringement. 4. Comprehensive use of intellectual property rights to protect company interests. Intellectual property rights cover a wide range. When signing a contract or encountering a dispute, sometimes it is difficult to effectively protect the company's rights and interests by asserting one right. In this case, several rights need to be exercised together, which can often achieve satisfactory results. .
