How it's used
This is a formal legal term that is rarely used in casual conversation unless discussing business, law, or technology. It functions as a collective noun encompassing various specific rights like 版權, 專利, and 商標. In everyday speech, people are far more likely to refer to the specific type of protection they are concerned about rather than using this broad umbrella term.
