What is Intellectual Property?
Intellectual property rights, also known as "intellectual property rights", refer to "the exclusive rights enjoyed by the right holder in accordance with the law for the results created by its intellectual labor and the marks and reputations in business activities", which are generally only valid for a limited time. The biggest difference between intellectual property and traditional property is that intellectual property is an intangible property right, which comes from human intellectual activities. Therefore, IP and innovation activities were inextricably linked. The intellectual property system is an important part of the legal system of modern society. The value of intellectual property is mainly reflected in the huge benefits it can bring.
