我国农业知识产权现状、问题与对策

Development, Challenges and Options of Intellectual Property Management in China’s Agricultural Sector

近年来,我国农业知识产权事业发展迅速,制度建设趋于完善,创造能力不断增强,转化应用不断深化,保护力度持续加大,管理水平日渐提高,但还面临着知识产权总体质量不高、企业知识产权创造力不足、知识产权产业化渠道不畅以及来自跨国公司的强势竞争等问题。因此,我国需继续完善相关制度,广泛调动全社会资源参与农业知识产权的创造和转化运用:一方面需要建立农业公共投资知识产权的权属制度,强化政府对公益性农业科研成果配置和转化运用的调控职能;另一方面应大力支持和鼓励企业自主研发,提高企业的知识产权创造能力,实现农业知识产权事业发展的双轮合力驱动。

In recent years intellectual property management in China＇s agricultural sector has made great progress in institution building, innovative capability, and technology transfer. However, it still faces many challenges such as the poor quality of intellectual property, weak domestic firm innovation, lack of commercialization channels, and fierce competition from transnational companies. Therefore, China shall continue to improve the relevant institutions, encourage all stakeholders to engage in the creation of intellectual property and technology transfer. Two lines of efforts could be considered. On the one hand, China needs to establish ownership framework for intellectual property rights from publicly financed research and development, and intensify the role of government in the disposition and commercialization of such intellectual property. On the other hand, the Chinese government should encourage and favor domestic companies to develop their indigenous innovation.
