In his keynote speech, Mr. Andy Yang pointed out that “The GUI-related intellectual achievements can be protected by comprehensive methods such as copyright, anti-unfair competition and design patents. Among them, the method of anti-unfair competition can adopt the two principles of honesty and decoration. For the protection of the design of the GUI, it is necessary to properly adopt and explain the infringement system in the general principles of Civil Law, Tort Liability Law, and Patent Law, so as to promote the protection of intellectual achievements.”
