The origin of intellectual property?

According to China's General Principles of Civil Law, intellectual property belongs to civil rights, and it is the general name of the rights born according to law based on creative intellectual achievements and industrial and commercial marks. Some scholars have verified that this word was first put forward by the French scholar Kaptsov in the middle of17th century, and later developed by the famous Belgian jurist picardie. Piccadilly defined it as "all rights from intellectual activities".

In essence, intellectual property is an intangible property right, and its object is intellectual achievements or knowledge products, an intangible property or formless spiritual wealth, and a labor achievement created by creative intellectual labor.

Like tangible property such as houses and cars, it is protected by national laws and has value and use value. The value of some major patents, well-known trademarks or works is much higher than tangible property such as houses and cars.
