Only by timely and comprehensive protection of intellectual achievements and legal rights of obligees can we arouse people's creative enthusiasm, make enterprises recognized and improve their competitiveness.

(2) Protecting intellectual property rights can bring huge economic benefits to enterprises and enhance their economic strength. The exclusiveness of intellectual property rights determines that enterprises can be invincible in the market only if they have independent intellectual property rights. More and more enterprises are beginning to realize the great role of intangible property such as technology, brand and trade secrets.

(3) Protecting intellectual property rights is conducive to promoting foreign trade and attracting foreign investors.

Intellectual property protection is the cornerstone of China's participation in world trade activities.

(4) Protecting intellectual property rights is a defense. For enterprises, on the one hand, they should protect their products from infringement, on the other hand, they should also prevent their products from infringing the rights of others. Intellectual property is like a shield, which can effectively prevent the spears of other enterprises.

(5) Intellectual property is the proof of enterprise's innovation ability. The possession of intellectual property rights can effectively prove the innovation ability of enterprises, gain the trust of customers and establish the brand of enterprises.

(VI) Intellectual property rights are an effective means to break through the bottleneck of enterprises. If handled properly, it can quickly get rid of the predicament and develop at a high speed.

(7) The value of intangible assets is often much greater than tangible assets. Increasing enterprise assets includes not only tangible assets that can be seen and touched, but also intangible assets that cannot be seen or touched. For example, a high-tech patent and a reputable trademark have immeasurable market value.

The protection of intellectual property rights is the driving force for the long-term development of enterprises from their own point of view. Entrepreneurs need to pay attention to the protection of intellectual property rights at the beginning of their business, from the most basic personal registration to all-round protection.
