Protecting the Intellectual Property of Online Games Should "Solve the Problem" from a Legal Perspective

2023-11-20

Resist pirated online games, enhance the legal awareness of the whole society in respecting intellectual property rights, and thus bring sustainable development impetus to online gaming enterprises. As a domestic online gaming hub, Wuhan in Hubei Province has a large number of game companies and well-known companies in derivative industries such as game live streaming. In recent years, with the prosperity and development of the online game industry, infringement in the field of online games has been increasing. On the basis of cracking traditional forms of infringement such as game technology prevention measures, new forms of infringement have emerged, such as plagiarism of game elements from others and providing game "rental" services. Protecting intellectual property is protecting innovation. "The Wuhan Intermediate People's Court in Hubei Province has efficiently played its judicial function, continuously cultivated and meticulously worked in stimulating innovation and creation, promoting cultural prosperity, and maintaining fair competition, forming a set of ideas for judging disputes related to game related intellectual property, and promoting efficient trials of online game related cases. In recent years, the game live streaming industry has developed rapidly and has become an indispensable part of the internet industry. Currently, participating in game live streaming is becoming a new way of socializing. The domestic online gaming industry has achieved significant development in recent years. Among the top 10 listed online companies by market value, half rely on online gaming business to support their development, such as Tencent, NetEase, Sohu, Shanda, etc. The online game industry has undoubtedly become a leader in the development of China's digital publishing industry and an important engine for the development of the internet economy. However, as more and more online games carrying Chinese culture are favored by the market and become new growth poles in the internet industry, the turbidity of infringing on online game intellectual property rights also follows. With the increasing prosperity of the online game industry, it has become a new growth point for the cultural and creative industries. The cost of developing a new online game is high and the time is long, while the cost of copying a popular game is very low. Faced with huge economic temptations, game infringers often try their best, leading to frequent intellectual property infringement in the field of online games. The protection of intellectual property rights in online games involves the vital interests of game developers, game publishers, game platforms, and hundreds of millions of netizens. It is not only an inevitable requirement for implementing the national intellectual property strategy, but also a prerequisite for ensuring the healthy and sustainable development of the internet industry. The online game industry is gradually becoming a new growth point for China's economic development. As an industry based on cultural creativity, domestic online game companies are constantly strengthening their efforts to research and develop original games, and their awareness of game software intellectual property rights is also constantly improving. The number of copyright registrations for online game software continues to rise. However, at the same time, domestic online games still hesitate on the path of innovation, with intellectual property infringement becoming a persistent problem that troubles the online gaming industry and users. In order to reduce risks and save costs, many operators repeatedly launch similar products or directly imitate or plagiarize others' products, or profit from them through direct download links. From a legal perspective, some game websites and forums now provide online game download links and use them, which is a typical infringement of intellectual property rights. It should be noted that intellectual property has become an important engine for promoting the development of China's online gaming industry. Original online games with independent intellectual property rights can not only effectively promote the development of China's online gaming industry
