Abstract

In the rapidly evolving digital age, the gaming industry has witnessed explosive growth. This paper examines the role of intellectual property in building IP for gaming equipment companies. It discusses the main forms of intellectual property rights, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and their applications in the gaming equipment industry. Case studies of SONY Interactive Entertainment, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Razer are provided to illustrate the importance of intellectual property. The paper also discusses strategies for gaming equipment companies to build IP using intellectual property rights and the challenges they face, such as high costs of protection, adapting to changing laws and technologies, and preventing infringement and piracy. Despite these challenges, intellectual property remains crucial for gaming equipment companies to gain a competitive edge and achieve sustainable development.
