The intellectual property is a kind of the private right, which refers to the exclusive rights legally entitled to certain intelligence achievements, or that is the exclusive right, or the Jura in REM with the specific intellectual creative resultant as the object. The intellectual, creative result is essentially the optimal information, and therefore, the intellectual property rights constitute the core part of the information property rights. The proposal of the concept of the information property right adapts to the requirements of the constant development and progress of the modem information technology. The legal protection for it is the problem needing the urgent solution. We should attribute the information property rights to the scope of the intellectual property, redefine the intellectual property law, and define the objects of the intellectual property as the property information, which will help to protect the products of the information labor, and promote the development of the social economy and the progress of the science and technology. Nowadays, the world has entered the informatized era of knowledge economy, and the informatization worldwide has begun the prologue. The "information highway", "information industry" and other terms are used more and more frequently. Especially in the rapid development of the network communication today, the information is a kind of scarce resources that can promote the economic development and the social progress, and the property value is increasing. Compared with the traditional privacy in order to protect the ownership and transference of the materials as the backbone, the intellectual property of the information to protect the specific intellectual creative resultant is a kind of private right that is very special. Even in the common law countries with the legal precedent law as the characteristics, they also make a lot of the written laws for the intellectual property tights. In the other private domain, the legal precedent is still the major source of the laws. Our country's legal profession, the information industry and the international community are paying more attention to the protection of the information property, resulting in the "property right of the information", "the legal systems of the information property" and other concepts. The theoretical basis for the property rights of the information to be protected by the laws, and its relationship with the intellectual property rights, and how to carry on the protection and other issues are inconclusive.
