我国中药专利申请质量的现状分析与对策研究

Status Analysis and Countermeasure Research for Patent Application Quality of Traditional Chinese Medicine

中药是我国五千年文明的瑰宝,有着系统的理论和可靠的临床疗效。作为中药的发源地,我国理应拥有大量自主的中药知识产权,然而目前中药专利申请的整体质量并不乐观。本文针对我国中药专利申请的数量与质量的差异,分析中药专利申请的质量现状,探讨其形成的原因并提供应对策略,建议今后我国知识产权的工作重心从数量逐步转向质量,根据形成原因选择有针对性的对策,通过多方位、多部门的共同配合,实现中药知识产权竞争力的整体提升。

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is a treasure of five-thousand-year civilization of China, with systemic theory and reliable clinical efficacy. As the origin of TCM, China should have a large number of independent intellectual property rights of TCM beyond any doubt. However, the quality of TCM patent application as a whole is far from optimistic currently. Targeting the differences in number and quality of TCM patent application in China, this article analyzed current situation of TCM patent application, discussed the reasons and offered countermeasures, and proposed that the work focus of intellectual property in China should shift from quantity to quality. It also argued that targeted countermeasures should be chosen according to the causing reasons, and overall promotion of the TCM intellectual property competiveness should be achieved through multi-aspect and multi-department cooperation.
