Impact of Chinese IPR In the ICT Sector – Assignations, Licensing and Protection

Abstract

The world has entered the era of universal Intellectual Property Rights (IPR): everyone is a creator of knowledge production and their intellectual property. In recent years, China has placed greater emphasis on intellectual property: the burgeoning cultural industry has brought the concept of intellectual property to the forefront of people's minds, especially in information and communication technologies, which are closely linked to everyday life. We will start by understanding the history of Intellectual Property Rights in China. Once the basics are understood, the authors will detail Chinese patent law, its coverage, and case evaluation primary. The third part describes the three main sources of IPR disputes. In the fourth part, the authors present systematic recommendations for improving the quality of China's IPR system from an ICT perspective.
