The Conflict and Coordination between Intellectual Property Law and Human Rights Law in the Context of Globalization and Digitization

Abstract

In the current era of digitalization and globalization, both intellectual property law and human rights law are facing unprecedented challenges and opportunities. In the process of constantly seeking the balance between the two, there are inevitably multiple conflicts, such as excessive protection of intellectual property rights that may limit the freedom of knowledge acquisition guaranteed by human rights law, and human rights demands that may also impact the exclusivity of intellectual property rights. It is necessary to explore ways to coordinate the conflicts between them in order to build a more harmonious and sustainable socio-economic and cultural environment. This article aims to analyze in depth the conflict manifestations and root causes of these two types of laws in the context of digitization and globalization, and actively explore feasible strategies for coordinating conflicts. By elaborating on the concepts and connotations of the two, analyzing their conflicts in multiple aspects such as balancing interests and acquiring knowledge resources, and exploring various strategies for coordinating conflicts in this new era environment, including the improvement of legal systems and the enhancement of public awareness of rights and interests, in order to promote the harmonious coexistence of the two under the legal framework of modern society and jointly promote social development.
