On the issue of intellectual property rights, provide a creative idea. Can this creative idea be protected by law?

In China's current legal system, intellectual property rights are mainly divided into three categories: invention, utility model, design, trademark and copyright.

According to what you said, you may be able to apply for a patent for utility model. If you can apply, you can be protected by law.

Among the above three types of intellectual property rights, only copyright can be automatically protected by law without being certified by relevant institutions. However, according to what you said, it is difficult to identify it as a "work" protected by copyright.

So I suggest you go to the utility model section of the patent office to consult whether you can apply for utility model.

If you can't apply for a utility model, but you can keep it confidential for your own use, it is a trade secret and protected.

If you can't apply for a patent, and you can't protect yourself through confidentiality, personally, it is difficult to get protection under the current logging system.
