The automotive industry's shift towards digitization and sustainability has triggered significant transformations. Innovations in technology and business models, particularly those related to the intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) industry, have garnered widespread attention. These industries have emerged as pivotal drivers of economic recovery, technological advancement, and social progress.
However, alongside technological progress, challenges such as intellectual property (IP) infringement and unfair competition have arisen to impact the sustainable growth of innovative enterprises in the sector. Additionally, evolving regulatory frameworks both domestically and internationally have raised concerns about data security and legal compliance, presenting formidable challenges for companies seeking global expansion.
To promote sustainable innovation and development in ICV-related industries, it's crucial to continually refine policies and legal frameworks while establishing robust domestic and international competition mechanisms. Enterprises also need to enhance the expertise and capabilities of their IP and legal teams.
