Abstract

Since the emergence of human beings, it is proved that their life has been changed gently from every single aspect. Humans’ wisdom witnesses the rapid development of the whole society that provides a platform for people’s evergreen concern about the relationship between their intellectual output and economic income. The increasingly growing focus upon the private property interest first appeared with its original intention of safeguarding feudal hierarchy. At the beginning of intellectual property system development, the nobles spared no efforts to strive for their private benefit in all fields, especially in culture and knowledge area, which is accepted by the general public to be the origin of intellectual property regime.

    “The role played by material inventions, that is, by technology, in social change probably received most emphasis in the work of William F. Ogburn. It was Ogburn, also, who was chiefly responsible for the idea that the rate of invention within society is a function of the size of the existing culture base. He saw the rate of material invention as increasing with the passage of time. Ogburn believed that material and non-material cultures change in different ways. Change in material culture is believed to have a marked directional or progressive character......culture lag is defined as the time between the appearance of a new material invention and the making of appropriate adjustments in corresponding area of non-material culture.”, http://www.sociologyguide.com/basic-concepts/Cultural-Lag.php, access date: 14/09/2015.
