The emergence of intelligent robot performance has brought strong visual impact to the public and also new challenges to the protection of its related rights and interests. For example, how to determine the nature of intelligent robot performance, how to identify the qualification of intelligent robot subject, and how to solve the problems encountered in the production and spread of intelligent robot performance. This paper includes the characteristics of robot performance and the feasibility of its copyright protection. It also discusses a design of a specific copyright system and the disputes of copyright infringement and its solutions. Combining the above with basic principles of the copyright law and the civil law, following conclusions can be drawn: artificial intelligence should be given a civil main body status so its performance could be protected because it has a neighboring right. This system can not only solve the copyright protection of intelligent robot creations, but can also embody the legislative purpose of copyright law to encourage innovative consciousness and protect innovative achievements, and further improve China’s copyright legal system.
