药品专利保护的博弈分析——兼论“公地悲剧”与“反公地悲剧”研究现状

Game Theory Analysis of Patent Protection of Pharmaceutical Products:Research on the Actualities of Tragedies of the Commons and the Anti-Commons

加强药品专利保护才能避免"公地悲剧",促进医药产业的发展,但目前医药产业"专利丛林"现象,极易造成专利成果利用不足和上游基础研究被闲置的"反公地悲剧",为此学界在理论研究和实证分析中形成了"药品专利消极主义"和"药品专利积极主义"两种不同观点,论文指出"药品专利消极主义"更具有可信度。

If patent protection of pharmaceutical products is strengthened, the tragedy of the commons can be avoided and the development of pharmaceutical industry can be promoted. However, the current phenomenon of ＂patent thicket＂ in the pharmaceutical industry tends to bring about the insufficient use of patent achievements and the tragedy of the anti-commons, as nobody is likely to do relevant basic research. In this respect, the academic circles stand in two different groups, one holding a negative attitude toward pharmaceutical patent and the other a positive one in doing theoretical research and empirical analysis. The article points out that the negative attitude is more reliable.
