With the increasingly prominent role of intellectual property rights in the development of world economy and science and technology, more and more countries realize that the key to global competition in the future is economic competition. The essence of economic competition is the competition of science and technology, in the final analysis, the competition of intellectual property rights.
Therefore, many countries, especially developed countries, have raised the issue of intellectual property protection to the macro level of national policies and development strategies, and regard strengthening intellectual property protection as an important strategic measure to seize and maintain international competitive advantages in the fields of science, technology and economy.
Since 1980s, the United States has taken a series of important measures to strengthen the protection and management of intellectual property rights in order to restore its strong position in the world economy. In the past few decades, Japan has put forward slogans such as "building the country through education" and "building the country through science and technology". In 2002, the strategic position of intellectual property rights was further recognized and the Strategic Outline of Intellectual Property Rights was formulated.
An intergovernmental conference on intellectual property strategy was established, which positioned "intellectual property" at the height of "national strategy" and developed into "one of the few intellectual property powers in the world". In addition, Russia, South Korea, India and other countries have incorporated the protection of intellectual property rights in the process of technological innovation into their national strategies while formulating their technological innovation strategies.
