Legal Safeguard from Intellectual Property Rights of Cultural Creative Industry

Abstract:

Just over twelve years ago, United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) published the Culture, trade and globalization: questions and answers. In the book, the first ever definition of ‘cultural industries’ is applied to ‘those industries that combine the creation, production and commercialization of contents that are intangible and cultural in nature. These contents are typically protected by copyright and they can take the form of goods or services.’ Cultural creations need guiding and checking on, and that is the reason why there is art director or creative director, so-called the ‘gate-keeper’, controlling over the quality of creations. If a gate-keeper builds a safeguard in the cultural creative behavior, lacking the check on the legal protection in the cultural creative industries, and whether the information of cultural industry element has touched on the question of the intellectual property rights infringement, then it will result in a disastrous consequence. This is the topic which the article researches on.
