Is it infringement to erase the watermark of the watermarked network and add your own watermark as the avatar of personal social accounts such as QQ?

Your behavior is infringement, because the watermark image itself is for anti-counterfeiting. You removed the watermark and put your own watermark, which is infringement.

Do you know that changing the avatar may also infringe?

From 200 1, April 26th every year is World Intellectual Property Day. The theme day was established by the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Why are there several big characters written in the upper left corner of the photo? And deliberately write it in the corner to reduce the sense of existence? Since we want to reduce the sense of existence, just don't write?

Rong tells you in detail that readers who have worked as artists must be familiar with the characters in the corner, commonly called "watermark", which is a new anti-theft technology.

Watermark affects the perception, so it is usually placed in the edge corner of the picture to reduce the sense of existence. Even so, watermarking technology is welcomed by most photographers, post-workers or designers.

Why?

At present, many countries and regions have the problems of narrow protection scope of intellectual property legal system and weak awareness of intellectual property protection.

Take 20 15 in China as an example. In 20 15 years, a total of 2.799 million patent applications were accepted, of which the number of invention patent applications exceeded 1 10,000, reaching10.2 million, with a year-on-year increase of 18.7%, ranking first in the world for five consecutive years.

Infringement of intellectual property rights is frequent, so it is not surprising that watermarking is popular as a simple and operable technology to protect its own copyright.

So erasing someone else's watermark and uploading it twice is infringement. Did you get caught?
