Description

With a distinctive framework composed of "Basic Categories," "Basic Theories," and "International Protection," the book constructs a comprehensive system for the general theory of intellectual property, which offers an academic summary of the most abstract, general, and fundamental issues in the field of intellectual property research.

In the section on "Basic Categories," the analysis centers on rights as the core concept, exploring the definition, nature, characteristics, subjects, objects, utilization, limitations, and protection of intellectual property rights. This section delves into the essential components and attributes of intellectual property rights, legal relationships, operational mechanisms, as well as the scope of protection and the structural framework of the system.

The "Basic Theories" section focuses on the intellectual property system itself, examining its historical evolution, theoretical foundations, cultural implications, value objectives, and policy functions. This part critically evaluates the scientific validity, legitimacy, and rationality of the intellectual property system's construction.

The "International Protection" section adopts a global perspective to analyze the origins, development, and transformations of the intellectual property protection system. It also provides a "Chinese perspective" on international intellectual property issues, offering unique insights into global debates.

As the fourth edition, this book not only preserves the author's long-standing theoretical insights but also incorporates the latest research findings, ensuring its relevance and depth in the field of intellectual property studies.
