1. Intellectual property matters that require careful consideration
- The Intellectual Property Law of 2005 (with amendments and supplements in 2009 and 2019) safeguards various subjects including copyright, rights associated with copyright, industrial property rights, and rights about plant varieties.
- As per the Intellectual Property Law 2015, Clause 2, Article 4, copyright is the entitlement of individuals and entities to the works they produce or possess.
- The specific categories of works safeguarded by copyright are explicitly outlined in Article 14 of the Intellectual Property Law 2005, which has been amended and supplemented in 2009 and 2019.
- The rights of copyright encompass the privileges granted to individuals or organizations about activities associated with performances, sound recordings, video recordings, broadcasts, and encrypted satellite signals.
- Industrial property rights refer to the legal entitlements granted to organizations or individuals for their inventions, industrial designs, semiconductor integrated circuit layout designs, trade names, trademarks, geographical indications, and business secrets.
