Recently, some colleges and universities in China have been banned from MATLAB software, which has become a hot topic in China and attracted great attention of the industry. Some insiders pointed out that universities that have been banned from MATLAB are unlikely to have scientific research output in the next few years, and even if there is one, it cannot be released publicly. Before that, the US Department of Commerce listed dozens of Chinese companies and 13 universities in the "entity list" of sanctions.

It is understood that the software is the commercial mathematics and scientific calculation simulation software produced by MathWorks company in the United States, which is used in the advanced technical calculation language and interactive environment for algorithm development, data visualization, data analysis and numerical calculation.

The software contains dozens of toolboxes, covering mathematical calculation, modeling and simulation, electronic communication, mechanochemistry, automobile and aviation, electric energy, economy and finance, biomedicine and other disciplines. It has a near monopoly market position in industrial manufacturing, academic research and other fields. At present, millions of engineers and mathematicians in the world are using MATLAB, and many universities in China have introduced the campus version of MATLAB, including Harbin Institute of technology and other universities.

Some insiders pointed out that once these colleges and universities were continuously banned from matlab by MathWorks, it means that the academic papers or business projects published by teachers and students or researchers of these schools can no longer contain any content based on MATLAB in principle. For example: there should be no data, graphs, tables, etc. obtained by using MATLAB. No matter whether the data is genuine or pirated, denial will face the risk of being prosecuted. The impact of this on domestic enterprises and research scholars cannot be underestimated.

"In foreign countries, companies are engaged in R & D, because after R & D is marketized, it can turn into profits and make a lot of money. If Chinese companies don't do this, they are all research and development institutions. Why don't companies do it? R & D needs to invest a lot of money, and it needs to turn into product profits to maintain R & D, while China has no patent protection. Once people are pried away, their efforts will be wasted, and technology will be brought Gone, what research and development can be made by scientific research institutions alone, national public officials, iron rice bowl, who cares about membership fees.

Why does the state emphasize the protection of intellectual property. Take patent as an example. The original intention of patent is to "exchange the patent for the profit". The patentee has exclusive rights, and anyone who uses the technology has to pay the conversion price. The purpose of establishing patent law is to protect the interests of innovators, so that innovators can be honest and fair to collect money from those who use innovative technology and negotiate conditions, so as to protect the rights and interests of innovators, increase innovation motivation and promote social progress. It is the source of innovation to let innovators earn money and have motivation. Intellectual property system is to ensure the legitimacy of innovators' profits. Only when the enterprise has money to earn can it invest in R & D, only when there is R & D can it have innovation, only when innovation can make money can it have motivation and capital to re develop. This is a cycle!

The function of intellectual property system is to maintain the normal circulation and promote the circulation faster. That is, innovators are more motivated to innovate, so that innovators can obtain more profits, have more money to invest in research and development, and thus generate more innovation.

If the innovation of enterprises after R & D is not protected, they will only choose to reduce R & D investment and make money. In the end, there is less innovation. Although enterprises have less profits, they at least live. This is the "survival of the fittest" principle of many domestic enterprises.

Depending on others may be starved to death, if you want to live with dignity, self-improvement is the king! It is the role of the intellectual property system to let those who are capable of self-improvement have the motivation to self-improvement. This is the fundamental reason why the state attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights!
