Since the State Council initiated pilot programs for data intellectual property rights, local governments have successively introduced regional registration regulations (rules or guidelines) to govern data IP management. However, in the absence of clear regulations from higher-level laws regarding the legal status of data rights, authorization requirements, and registration qualifications, local governments have rashly defined them as "data intellectual property rights" through documents and implemented registration protection, which poses a risk of violating higher-level legislation. Local data legislation should balance legislative authority with institutional innovation, ensuring both legal compliance with higher-level provisions and practical rationality to meet evolving data rights development needs.
