What is intellectual property? First of all, intellectual property rights include three major categories, including three modules: patent, trademark and copyright, which means that we focus on protecting these three major categories.
Intellectual property rights protection is a way to develop individuals while promoting the collective. The way to protect intellectual property rights can be through litigation under relevant laws. Today, with the rapid economic development, we are also facing these problems, that is, there are constant cases involving intellectual property rights. The occurrence of such situations as trademark infringement, patent counterfeiting, and copyright theft have always troubled intellectual property owners, so intellectual property protection is becoming more and more important.
What are the methods for protecting intellectual property rights?
(1) Negotiate with the parties to resolve the matter. If the patentee's patent rights are being implemented by others or are about to be infringed, the patentee can notify the other party and request an immediate stop to the infringement and require it to bear liability for damages, etc., or it can contact the other party to negotiate a cooperation license through formal channels. matters.
(2) Administrative channel, the right holder appeals to the patent administrative agency. If both parties are unwilling to negotiate or cannot reach an agreement, the patentee or interested party may request the provincial or municipal intellectual property office to handle the relevant issues and mediate.
(3) Legal approach: the right holder files a patent lawsuit with the people's court with jurisdiction. The patentee can request the court to order the infringer to stop infringement, compensate for losses, etc.
