知识产权保护与后续创新——基于人类基因议题的研究

知识产权保护是否以及如何影响后续创新,是全球科技治理领域的经典命题。这其中,人类基因知识产权保护议题尤其充满争议,已有探讨人类基因知识产权保护与后续创新关系的权威实证研究,存在相悖的研究结论。本文在对上述研究的深度剖析和比较基础上,指出半个多世纪以来生命科学技术与治理路径发生的重大演变,是造成不同研究结论的核心原因。基于此,本文对我国未来参与生命技术领域全球治理的未来实践和研究方向提出了相关建议。

It has been a classical proposition in the global technology governance realm that whether or not intellectual property(IP)protection On existing technologies prohibits subsequent innovation,among which discussions about the IP rights of human genome are taking place for long,Previous empirical studies have shown conflictual findings on the connections between human genome IP and technical innovation.Based on the in-depth analysis and comparative researches,this paper attempts to point out that the significant evolutions in the domain of life sciences and its corresponding governance approaches contribute to different results.Instructions for further practices and scientific researches are also provided for China to participate in the global governance of life sciences.
