Idea is regarded to be in public area in current intellectual property right system and is not target to be protected. However there has problems investing a lot of efforts to create idea and being unable to protect under intellectual property right law even in case where the idea can cause economic value. That is to say protection system have been required since third party can create economic value by using or imitating, free riding creative idea like this without notice. It is considered to be needed that so called, idea protection law in which creative idea being unable to protect under current intellectual property right law is regarded to one intellectual property right and is to be protected, would be established. Although idea may be added to target to be protected through revision such as Invention Promotion Act or Unfair Completion Prevention Act etc., Invention Promotion Act is not law is not the law aiming at protection of industrial property right but the law aiming to promote, and constitutions adding idea as target to be protected is difficult to set relation with existing business secret. Accordingly it is determined to build law system establishing idea protection law and protecting idea by this law.
