16、The rapid development of the Internet to the network environment ofIntellectual, Property protection has brought unprecedented impact.Cyberspace is a global, interactive and non-jurisdiction of the central features of the network so that the world can not rely solely on a dispute to solve the countr

17、y, it needs international cooperation and coordination.Internet intellectual property is the derivative combing internet technology with intellectual property.

19、nternet intellectual property protectorganism, improving people* s awareness of the law of internetintellectual property protection.For example, at present the Internet domain name plays the role ofequivalent of trademark, but still has not obtained the legal statussimilar to trademark. Malicious re

20、gistering action has already causedproblems, and the solution seems to be giving the legal protection astrademark. However, the sets of conventions forming in the 19th centuryare difficult to completely adapt to the social reality of the 21stcentury.The provisions of the present convention is adapte

21、d to theindustrial economic condition, but in the era of knowledge economy, therange and speed of informationlie in the existence of intellectual property and on computer network. It therefore has the rules ofdissemination is far from traditional environment, technique update cycle becomes shorter,

22、eliminated frequently, intellectual property intangible loss also increases greatly. Therefore, further update for the current international treaties is necessary.

24、ternational human rights law.However, Since the 1990s, western scholars began to pay attention to the complicated relationship between them. This academic research phenomenon relates to Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual PropertyRights （The TRIPS agreement） formulation and implementa

25、tion.According to Universal Declaration of Human Rights （hereafter referred to as UDHR） and International Covenant on Economic, Social andCultural Rights, （hereafter referred to as ICESCR）, Everyone has the right freely to participate in the cultural life of the community, to enjoy the arts and to s

26、hare in scientific advancement and its benefits.But as the development of digital age, collision between intellectual property protection and human rights has been rising. The provisions ofTRIPs agreement pose an obstacle to realization of these basic human rights. The adverse impacts mainly include

27、: obstruct technology assignment to developing countries： new varieties of plants and genetically modified organisms patents influence adequate food need： medicine patents impact on enjoying good health, etc.However, the IGOs and UN senior officials always keep cautious attitude toward using conflic

28、t” to describe this relationship. They use the word tension” instead.Actually, I think intellectual property is not totally on opposite side to human rights, but the tool for human rights realization.Intellectual property is used to achieve the purpose as following: encourage invention and creation,

29、 encourage innovative production spread, encourage development of culture characteristics. Integrity of scientific, literary and artistic works will provide better social services, even create good conditions for realizing human rights.Indeed, strained relations between human rights and IP rights ca
