我国现行中药专利保护存在问题与对策研究

Study on Problems and Countermeasures of Traditional Chinese Medicine Patent Protection

通过分析我国中药专利保护现状,来探讨我国中药专利存在的问题和对策,在查询中国专利数据库网站过程中获取中药专利申请、授权的类型和数量,并进行对比分析。专利申请的数量不断攀升,但整体质量却不容乐观,专利申请主要在个人,企业和科研院所占比重小。今后,中药专利的重点应逐步由数量转向质量,通过各方面、各部门的配合,促进中药科技成果生产力的转化,以增强中医药在世界上的综合竞争力。

By analyzing the present situation of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) patents, we can talk about the problems it has and the measures to it. Chinese Patent Database web was used to inquire the types and quantity of TCM patents. Furthermore,the distribution of patents was also analyzed. The number of patent applications was rising continually. But the overall quality is not optimistic at present. The patents were mainly applied by individuals, while enterprises and research institutions shared a small proportion. The working focuses of TCM patents should be changed from quantity to quality gradually in the future by multifaceted cooperation so as to push the research achievement to the market and to enhance the international competitiveness comprehensively.
