Contents that do not fall within the scope of intellectual property protection include: purely technical information, general information and experience, scientific principles, legal provisions, idioms and digital signals. In addition, certain innovativeness and distinguishability must be met.
Intellectual property rights refer to the exclusive rights obtained within a certain period of time under the premise of complying with legal provisions on the knowledge and information formed by people in their creative work. Content that does not fall within the scope of intellectual property protection mainly includes the following aspects: 1. Pure technical information, which only records technical facts without any creativity and originality, and therefore cannot enjoy intellectual property protection. 2. General information and experience, such as the living habits of fish, the running posture of horses, etc. This information is neither innovative nor distinguishable and conforms to the common cognitive categories of everyone, so it is not protected by intellectual property rights. 3. Scientific principles, such as the law of universal gravitation, laws of motion, etc., are natural laws and are not created by humans. They are not innovative and therefore are not protected by intellectual property rights. 4. Legal provisions and idioms, such as trademark registration regulations, legal terms, etc., are manifestations of public interests and do not have independent creativity, so they should not enjoy intellectual property protection. 5. Digital signals, such as phone numbers, IP addresses, etc., do not have any innovation or independence. They are just digital signs that people need to use and do not fall within the scope of intellectual property protection.
Can all ideas enjoy intellectual property protection? no. Ideas must meet certain levels of innovation and distinction, otherwise they cannot enjoy intellectual property protection. If the idea is too simple and common, or if it is commonly used by others, you cannot obtain exclusive rights to it.
Understanding the objects and scope of intellectual property protection will help creative people deeply explore their creative potential. In the process of applying for patents, registering trademarks, etc., it is necessary to ensure that the ideas involved are innovative and independent in order to legally enjoy intellectual property protection.
