The patent protection of traditional Chinese medicine needs to raise speed
It is reported ' Reporter Tan Jia) July 15, Beijing University of Trad. Chinese Medicine copper scientific research office division chief Liu Professor Hua in ' 2009 Beijing medicines innovative research and develop in tactics and medicine project news conferences new pointing out, the understanding of patent protection of traditional Chinese medicine circle of our country demands urgently to improve. Domestic the intersection of traditional Chinese medicine and circle decline of the amount of the application for patent makes the international domestic market of traditional Chinese medicine unable to win protection at home and abroad, this indicates traditional Chinese medicine patent protection of our country is still at very backward stage. The Liu 's says, in recent years, the protection work of medical intellectual property right of our country makes considerable progress, but the question can't be ignored either. Quite a lot of departments and individuals do not pay attention to patenting, does not paying attention to protecting and inventing and creating the achievement with the patent law, thus lose the market; The technological gold content of applying partly are on the low side, even does not possess creativity; Quite a lot of traditional Chinese medicine patent applications lack knowledge of patent ABC, lack the patent application skill; In launching the international exchange of technology or technological cooperation, pay little attention to protecting owner's rights and interests of patent of the person who develops our country, even present the phenomenon of outflowing of the achievement. What deserves particular mention is, our country became international Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) formally in 1994 Member states, patent to only need to apply for success in a country to be valid in each member state, but the domestic traditional Chinese medicine circle seldom adopts this route to capture the international market. According to the incomplete statistics, 1994 - 1999, there are 6824 patent applications of China of traditional Chinese medicine, the number of traditional Chinese medicine PCT patent application is 24 altogether, only accounts for 0.35% of the total number. The Liu 's says, though our country occupies the great advantage in traditional Chinese medicine trade, traditional Chinese medicine delays squeezing into the market of international medicines in the capacity of medicines, make the traditional Chinese medicine circle generally give up the overseas market. On the domestic market, because there are protection of new medicine and protection of traditional Chinese medicines, the technological competition intensity of enterprises is also not fierce, so everybody's requirements for patent protection are still not strong, just take the wait-and-see attitude. The Liu 's proposes, strengthens medical intellectual property protection and should take patent protection as the leading factor, defend the key technology of medicine; Protect for the image with the trade mark, establish the international brand of traditional Chinese medicine; Protect in order to intersperse, protect the special skill of medicine with the business secret; Supplemented by the administration of Israel protects, guarantee the advantage of the domestic brand in the international competition; Regard copyright protection as it thoroughly, protect traditional thought and culture of traditional Chinese medicine.
