Existing Mode Of Intellectual Property Protection In User Interface And Its Breakthrough

User interface refers to not only the platform of human-computer interaction,but also an important part of the software.The user interface depends on the existence of software,and can not be separated from software.In the user interface from the production to the development process,experienced from the early text or table,gradually developed to the present graphical form.The development of the user interface is not only inseparable from the development of the software,but also has undergone a major shift from technology to design.Until today,the user interface has not only simply to achieve some of the functions of the software,more importantly,has become an important factor in obtaining market recognition.If the user interface is only to achieve the function of the software exists,there is no need to legal protection,because there is no meaning.But today’s user interface has become an important factor affecting the competitiveness of the product.The mobile phone or computer has the same software features,the user would choose that one which the interface designed looks more beautiful or more user-friendly,more in line with the operating habits or more easy to operate.However,the design is more humane,user interface requires designers to pay more creative work,also will cost research and development staff more effort.If not reasonable protection,will not help to encourage R & D personnel to create a more excellent user interface.Today’s competition for electronic products is no longer stay in the technical and functional competition of software,but the user experience as the core of product competition.As we all know,the development of modern user interface needs to spend a lot of money,and full of creative labor,increasingly complex user interface,which not only contains research and development for the understanding of software functions,but also to achieve the design and psychology and other disciplines.The results of the application of which,has become a creative product.With the increase in the input of the R & D user interface,and the promotion of business interests,people’s understanding of this area gradually deepened.There has been a need for legal protection of this area.But because this area is a new thing,how to protect it is a problem.Although China started in this area later,but with the advent of the Internet era,China’s innovation in this area continued growth.Many companies in this area put a lot,and gradually formed a call for its protection.There are many enterprises to use unfair competition law to develop the user interface,and also many enterprises use the design patents to protect.But so far has not yet formed a unified and perfect protection mode,can according to the characteristics of the user interface to protect reasonably.
