There is a lack of specific statistics and extensive research on the Bouyei people's awareness of intellectual property (IP) protection. Therefore, it is inaccurate to assert that the Bouyei people as a whole are relatively weak in terms of IP protection awareness, and it is also easy to lead to unfair stereotypes about this ethnic group. The following points can help understand this issue: 1. **Diversity and individual differences**: There are wide differences in education levels, economic conditions and regions within the Bouyei people. These factors will affect the awareness and attention of individuals to IP. Therefore, the entire group cannot be simply viewed as a unified whole. 2. **Education and publicity**: The cultivation of IP awareness is closely related to education. If there is a lack of relevant educational resources and publicity activities in areas where the Bouyei people live, it may lead to low overall awareness. But this is more a reflection of the allocation of educational resources rather than the characteristics of the ethnic group itself. 3. **Culture and tradition**: Different ethnic groups have different cultural traditions and values. Some cultures may focus more on collective interests or traditional craftsmanship, and have less understanding of the concept of modern IP. This requires cultural exchanges and education to promote deeper understanding and recognition. 4. **Policy support**: The government also plays an important role in promoting IP protection in ethnic minority areas. Effective policy support and resource input can significantly enhance the IPR awareness and protection capabilities of these regions. 5. **Case study**: Even though in some cases, individuals of the Buyi ethnic group may be deficient in IPR protection, it is unscientific to attribute individual phenomena to the overall trend. More empirical research is needed to support relevant views. In general, the strength of IPR protection awareness depends on a variety of factors, including education, economic development, policy support and cultural background. For ethnic minority groups such as the Buyi ethnic group, we cannot simply make a generalized evaluation, but should understand their actual situation in IPR protection through specific research and analysis.
