Intellectual Property Protection and Cultural Inheritance of Folk Handicrafts

Traditional handicrafts are an important part of China's intangible cultural heritage, but today's technological products have a serious impact on traditional handicrafts, causing them to face a certain crisis of survival. At the same time, due to the lack of clear and explicit laws as a basis, more and more intellectual property infringement problems faced by traditional handicrafts have ended in settlements. Although the current legal system can protect traditional handicrafts through administrative means, it still lacks private rights protection, which is not conducive to improving the motivation of traditional handicraftsmen, and thus hinders the development and inheritance of traditional handicrafts. In the current context of protecting traditional crafts by administrative means, this paper explores the use of the intellectual property system, and then protects traditional crafts to make up for the inadequacy of administrative law in protecting traditional crafts.
