The difference between software intellectual property rights and information system security protection

1. What is intellectual property?

Intellectual property is an intangible property that people enjoy according to law for the fruits of their intellectual labor. Intellectual property rights include patent rights, trademark rights, copyright (also known as copyright) and the exclusive right to use trade secrets, among which patent rights and trademark rights are collectively referred to as "industrial property rights". With the progress of science and technology, the extension of intellectual property rights is constantly expanding.

Software intellectual property is the right that computer software personnel enjoy according to law for their own research and development achievements. Because software belongs to the high-tech category, the current international laws on software intellectual property protection are not perfect. Most countries protect software intellectual property rights through copyright law, and software design principles closely related to hardware can also apply for patent protection.

Second, information security protection.

Information security level protection is a kind of work to protect information and information carriers according to their importance, which exists in many countries such as China and the United States. In China, information security level protection is broadly defined as the security work of standards, products, systems and information of works according to the idea of level protection; In a narrow sense, it generally refers to the security level protection of information systems.

Therefore, there is a big difference between the two, and the main body of protection, the way of protection and the responsible institution are different.
