Features: This book discusses the issue of regulating the exercise of intellectual property rights. With China's entry into the WTO and the further opening of its market, this issue has become increasingly prominent. Some foreign companies have taken advantage of their intellectual property strengths to seize and monopolize China's market through various means, hindering the export of Chinese-made products. Certain enterprises, under the guise of protecting intellectual property, have adopted anti-competitive tactics to monopolize the market, leading to monopolies. Unfortunately, China currently lacks market-oriented methods to address these issues and curb the abuse of intellectual property rights. For the general public, the intellectual property system primarily brings to mind how to protect intellectual property. In reality, protecting the interests of intellectual property holders is not the only concern; it is also crucial to safeguard the public's access to knowledge products. In other words, the essence of the intellectual property system is to grant innovators or intellectual property owners temporary exclusive rights while requiring them to disclose their technologies, enabling more people to use innovative technologies and thus promoting social and technological progress. This directly relates to the issue of regulating the exercise of intellectual property rights discussed in this book. With China's entry into the WTO and the further opening of its market, this issue has become increasingly prominent. Some foreign companies have taken advantage of their intellectual property strengths to seize and monopolize China's market through various means, hindering the export of Chinese-made products. Certain enterprises, under the guise of protecting intellectual property, have adopted anti-competitive tactics to monopolize the market, leading to monopolies. Regrettably, China currently lacks market-oriented methods to address these issues and curb the abuse of intellectual property rights. In light of this, this book comprehensively draws on the strengths of various perspectives and provides a detailed and comprehensive introduction and discussion of the issue from four aspects: the emergence of the problem, theoretical research, institutional exploration, and the proposal of countermeasures. It aims to offer insights and recommendations from a theoretical standpoint to help China better address domestic and international abuses and monopolies of intellectual property. The book is written in a fluent and concise manner, with clear reasoning and thorough analysis, making it an academic work that combines professionalism and readability.
