Along with the advance of the society, more and more technologies and innovations are put forward by scientists and other people, thus we attach much importance to protecting these immaterial things by resorting to intellectual property rights. Although these things are intangible, they are as crucial as the tangible¹ assets we possess. Recently there appear a lot of cases which violate the intellectual property rights and affect the interests of people concerned. How should we deal with this problem?

To begin with, measures should be taken to arouse public awareness² so that the majority may acquire a comprehensive understanding of this special property. Next, individuals and organizations who enjoy the property must equip themselves with adequate knowledge of related laws and regulations. Once violated, it’s of great importance for them to refer to the useful tools. Last but not least, it’s the governments responsibility to perfect the system of safe guarding.

As I see it, intellectual property represents the progress of society, so we should exert ourselves to protect it. And the issue of being violated will be solved ultimately if the above measures can be put into practice.
