Challenges and Responses to Intellectual Property Protection in New Industries

: The “new industry” is a new economic or industrial form resulting from the integration of industries in the context of the development of information technology such as the Internet, big data and cloud computing. In terms of structure, the new industry is mainly “heavy” on new technology and “light” on fixed assets; in terms of industrial form, it presents the integration of industrial boundaries and has broad development prospects in terms of market outlook. As an institutional arrangement for stimulating innovative activities, distributing the benefits of innovation and maintaining the order of market competition, the IP legal system is an essential institutional support for the development of new business models. The innovation, diffusion and utilisation of knowledge triggered by the new business has changed significantly in different degrees compared to the traditional business.
