Abstract:In recent years, developed economies have actively promoted the establishment of a system of rules for the regulation of digital intellectual property in regional trade agreement (RTA), with the intention of seizing the rule-making power of global digital intellectual property governance. However, there are significant differences in the binding effect, scope of involvement, and depth of provisions in the RTA digital intellectual property rules dominated by China, United States, and the European Union, reflecting the differences in positions and industrial conflicts of interest in the field of RTA digital intellectual property rules in different economies. It is predicted that the development trend of RTA digital intellectual property rules is as follows: first, based on the logic of protecting the interests of the digital industry, the United States and Europe continue to promote the development of RTA digital intellectual property rules to higher standards; second, most economies are gradually accepting some of the high-standard digital IP rules led by the United States and Europe; third, the“North-South contradiction”has led to the“fragmentation”and“overlapping”of RTA digital intellectual property rules. In this regard, China should deeply participate in the global digital intellectual property governance, actively promote the negotiation of RTA digital intellectual property rules, and build an RTA digital intellectual property rules system that is in line with China's core interests.
