On the Concept of Works in the Sense of Copyright Law
Shan Ouyang · Journal of Wuyi University · 2005
Intellectual works are the objects of copyright. The essence of intellectual works is their physical property. Intellectual works are the combination of humans’ thinking or emotions and material; they exist in fields of literature, arts and science and serve people’s aesthetic and cognitive needs. A scientific understanding and clear conception of intellectual works serves to protect the various rights related to them and to disseminate the intellectual results of mankind.
