China News Service, Beijing, November 2 (Reporter Wu Tao) Recently, the State Council issued the "14th Five-Year Plan" National Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization Plan (hereinafter referred to as the "Plan").
The "Plan" proposes to improve laws, regulations, and policy measures related to intellectual property anti-monopoly and fair competition.
Dong Yu, executive vice president of the China Development and Planning Research Institute of Tsinghua University, said in an exclusive interview with Chinanews.com's "China New Observation" column that anti-monopoly has received a lot of attention. Rule gaps and loopholes, strengthen the establishment of data property rights systems, and strengthen the data security responsibilities of platform companies.
"In other words, platform innovation cannot be at the expense of the legitimate rights and interests of users." Dong Yu emphasized that when operators exercise intellectual property rights or engage in related activities, they reach or implement monopoly agreements, abuse market dominance, or implement possibilities. An act that constitutes an abuse of intellectual property rights to exclude or restrict competition will constitute a monopolistic act. There are a series of standards for determining this.

Dong Yu said that anti-monopoly and protection of intellectual property rights have the same goals, that is, to protect competition and encourage innovation, improve economic operation efficiency, and safeguard consumer interests and social public interests.
"In the future, in the field of intellectual property rights, relevant supervision will definitely be strengthened to prevent monopolistic behaviors that abuse intellectual property rights. In the long run, it will be conducive to the healthy and standardized development of the platform economy and enterprises, and will benefit some small and medium-sized enterprises and innovative enterprises. More room for growth is conducive to creating a fair and competitive market environment.
Dong Yu said that the promulgation of the "Plan" will ultimately benefit consumers.
In the past, everyone suffered from "advanced on-demand" and was very upset.
In the future, behaviors like this will definitely be restrained.
Then, consumers can also have more choices and enjoy better services.
