Features: This book is a practical theoretical work on intellectual property law edited by Mr. Zheng Chengsi, a renowned expert in intellectual property law in China. The original intention behind writing this book was to enable more individuals and enterprises to understand what intellectual property is, why it matters, and what actions to take when dealing with it. The book emphasizes countermeasures in its critiques and focuses on applied research when constructing fundamental theories, which is its greatest feature. Starting from the legal theory foundation of intellectual property, the book explains and analyzes several basic concepts of intellectual property, the relationship between intellectual property and tangible property rights, and other fundamental theoretical issues. It also corrects inappropriate terminological expressions in the current application of intellectual property in China according to international conventions. While discussing hot topics in the international field of intellectual property, the book offers insightful strategies for Chinese enterprises to leverage the intellectual property system to develop and protect themselves after joining the WTO. It can be said that the views in this book align more closely with the current practices of legislation and judicial systems both in China and abroad. Since many of the authors who contributed to the reference and drafting of the manuscript have experience in legislation, teaching, research, legal consultation, and representation, their explanations of intellectual property naturally avoid the detached academic discourse often found in scholastic discussions. This book holds significant reference value for researchers of intellectual property, legislators, enforcers, university teachers and students, and corporate decision-makers.
