Non‑fungible tokens:a bubble or the end of an era of intellectual property rights

The viability of exponentially growing non-fungible token(NFT)market is evaluated by identifying potential value-generating mechanisms that can be rationalized.After identifying the value-generating mechanisms underlying the positive values of NFTs,this study establishes a pricing model for NFTs that follows a continuous-time financial framework.As NFTs are claimed to securitize“ownership rights short of use”,and as such they may potentially serve as a substitute for the need to rely replace the reliance on the legal protection provided by intellectual property rights(IPRs).Considering this issue,this study evaluates the likelihood that NFTs will replace existing mechanisms that protect producers’rightful claim to use their assets or the need to apply the legal code that governs IPRs.The financial condition for this potential shift is derived for a category of assets whose use or consumption does not reduce supply as the notion of scarcity does not apply.

The Conflict and Balance Between Intellectual Property Rights and Public Freedom of Information in the“Anti-circumvention Clause”

There is a long-standing conflict between intellectual property rights and public freedom of information.The continuous development of the“anti-circumvention clause”has caused the conflict to intensify.As a basic human right,freedom of information is being gradually eroded by the expansion of intellectual property rights.The existing research mainly carries on the right balance from the negative protection path,but the positive protection path is more advantageous to realizing the public freedom of information and alleviates the conflict between the two kinds of rights.In practice,there are some problems in the application of the anti-circumvention clause,such as the legality of the aim,the division of the protected part,and the determination of the circumvention.This is mainly due to the lack of restrictions on technical measures,the failure to distinguish between“copyright protection”and“contact control”,and the offside and absence of administrative bodies in practice.We should protect public freedom of information by distinguishing the two measures of copyright protection and contact control and the two torts of access and use,increasing the restrictive conditions for the use of technical protection measures,and changing the functions of administrative supervision agencies.

Multiple Attributes and Research Paradigms of Intellectual Property Rights

Among the multifarious systems of civil law rights, intellectual property rights （IPR） score relatively high in terms of scientific and technological content and knowledge factors. It is generally accepted that copyright occurs in the realm of cultural creation, and is closely related to cultural innovation and the culture industry; patent rights arise in the field of technical applications, and are closely allied with technical innovation and the technology industry; and trademarks function in the area of business operations and involve a number of issues such as product sales and market trading. In the knowledge-based economy, the implementation of an IPR system can have a profound impact on a country＇s economic development, technological progress, and cultural and educational prosperity. And in the context of economic globalization, IPR protection also involves international politics and trade as well as cultural and technological exchanges and cooperation between countries.It is therefore both important and necessary for us to explore the attributes of IPR from the perspective of civil law, and to examine the functions of IPR from the multiple perspectives of human rights theories, economics, management and policy science. This helps us reveal the basic meaning of intellectual property rights from different disciplinary perspectives, and to maintain problem orientation and methodological openness in IPR research.

Fusion of Horizons:A New Perspective on Intellectual Property Rights

The mission of legal philosophy and philosophical hermeneutics has always been to comprehend the nature of intellectual property rights and the intellectual property rights system for the purpose of improving them. The difficulty of this task lies in the limitations in legal thinking resulting from the division of labor in the legal profession. A clear perception of the nature of intellectual property rights and the intellectual property rights system can only be obtained when we transcend intellectual property rights law. If we adopt the thinking of legal philosophy and the logic of dialectics to analyze the intellectual property rights system and explore the differing nature of institutional structures and their interrelationships, we can show that the intellectual property rights system is essentially an institutional arrangement involving balancing different considerations and implying a high level of political intellect. Only when intellectual property rights legislation possesses this kind of wisdom will people voluntarily abide by its rules in their life and work.

Intellectual Property Rights Securitization Models Selection and Policies Development in China: Based on a Multi-Case Comparison

Intellectual property rights securitization(IPRS) is a fundamental approach to monetizing intellectual property rights to resolve financing difficulties for scientific and technological enterprises. It is also a necessary way to realize the value of intellectual property rights. Existing researches in China only introduce foreign IPRS models but rarely discusses reasons behind the IPRS successes and lessons drawn from its failures. There are also rare IPRS policy researches and recommendations for IPRS development in China. This article cards the IPRS policies in China first, and then conducts a comparison research of intellectual property rights owners, obligees, originators, credit rating agencies, issuing scale, and so on as main information and data from the IPRS cases at home and abroad. Furthermore, this article constructs a three-dimensional policy model of “subject-element-process” and identifies the main problems from the laws and policies, operational models, valuation methods, investment objectives, tax and service rates,etc. of the IPRS. The results indicate that the model we construct is suitable for the Chinese market in that it describes the objectives and processes of IPRS as well as specific activities and capital flows. In the end, this article puts forward five policy recommendations for China’s IPRS development. The first is to add the intellectual property rights future implementation cash flow as the IPRS object. The second is to improve the existing evaluation methods. The third is to combine SPT and SPE models, establish in-house intellectual property rights service teams of security companies, set up government risk fund pools to lead IPRS, and reduce the investment threshold. The fourth is to explore the equity-debt convertible IPRS products and the intellectual property rights auction mechanism to make up for the losses of IPRS failure.The fifth is to formulate IPRS tax preferential policies, and lower the local government subsidy proportion for loan interests, service fee and loss compensation for IPRS.
