Legal analysis: China's intellectual property legislation started late, but developed rapidly, and established a legal system in line with the international advanced level. The origin of intellectual property law refers to the manifestation of intellectual property legal norms, which can be divided into two parts: domestic legislative sources and international conventions. While formulating domestic intellectual property laws and regulations, China has strengthened exchanges and cooperation with other countries in the field of intellectual property, and acceded to more than ten international conventions for the protection of intellectual property.

Legal basis: Article 123 of the Civil Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), in which civil subjects enjoy intellectual property rights according to law. Intellectual property rights are the exclusive rights enjoyed by the obligee to the following objects according to law: (1) works; (2) Inventions, utility models and designs; (3) Trademarks; (4) Geographical indications; (5) Business secrets; (6) Layout design of integrated circuits; (7) New plant varieties; (8) Other objects prescribed by law.
