What is intellectual property?

It should be said that the concept of intellectual property rights is increasingly recognized by everyone. What is intellectual property? It is the wealth created by people engaged in intellectual activities in the fields of science, technology, culture and art. It is a legally recognized property right. There are several key words in it. One is that it has a wide range of fields, including science and technology, culture and other fields. So if we say intellectual property rights, it actually covers a wide range. For example, now we say. There are three kinds of patents: invention patents, utility model patents and design patents. In fact, this product has three patents, as well as trademarks, copyrights and patent trademarks. These three kinds can be said to constitute the main body of intellectual property rights, but there are many others, such as new plant varieties, breeding experts and scholars from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences next to us, and high-yield crop varieties cultivated by them, such as our hybrid rice and some high-yield crops. There are also new varieties such as flowers, some seedlings and integrated circuit layout design, which are also special intellectual property rights. In addition, like technical secrets and trade secrets, it has not been patented or published as copyright protection, which is an internal secret of the enterprise, but it is also an intellectual property right. And geographical indications. A product is closely related to the specific environment of this place. For example, Moutai is produced in Kweichow Moutai, but it can't be called Moutai in other places. Things like this are called geographical indications, and some of them also belong to intellectual property rights. For example, Beijing will host the Olympic Games in 2008, and the protection of intellectual property rights for the Olympic Games is also an important issue. For example, 20 10 Shanghai will host the World Expo, where there will be knowledge.

Another feature is that it belongs to a kind of wealth created by human beings engaged in knowledge activities. This kind of wealth is an intangible property, so if you look at the patent law, you will find the definition of invention-creation granted patent right in the patent law. Patents are granted not for products or methods of manufacturing products, but for technical solutions of such products or methods. A product is visible and tangible. But this technical scheme is intangible. I said this instrument has 4 1 patents. Those patents are all about the technical scheme of this product. It is an intangible wealth, so it is called intellectual property, which is linked to knowledge.
