Chinese Medicine Standardization And Intellectual Property Strategy For The Joint Development Of Research

It was imperative for sustainable development of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) industry to actively promote coordinated development of its industry policies. Both standardization and intellectual property strategy in TCM were raised at the right moment, but their inherent connections have not been studied in academic circles. Except for the relationship of mutual promoting, the relationship of mutual supervision and mutual conflict have not been mentioned. Just because of the neglect of the above problems, a series of problems arised such as dissociation of management system, conflict of industry policies, no sharing information resource and frequent contradiction and conflict and so on. The fundamental reasons for the above phenomenon were separation, dissection and deficiency of coordination of the two strategies. Thus, how to coordinate the relationship between the two strategies to promote mutual adaptation, cooperation, promotion and concordant and synchronous development, and achive the effect of "1+1>2" was an imperative prbolem in TCM industry.To resolve the above key problems, based on the advanced development and mode of standardization and intellectual property strategy, standardization and intellectual property strategy in TCM and their correlation were studied firstly according to the fundamental principle of coordinated development, then the key problems and coping strategies were summurazed and discussed, and the mechanism and policies were also designed, and the concept of coordinated development between standardization strategy and intellectual property strategy in TCM was finally put forward. The theoretical basis and policy suggestions provided by this study could be used for the solving the promblems in standardization and intellectual property strategy in TCM.The research contents in this paper were as follows:In chapter one, background, significance, theoretical foundation, methods, technical route and innovative points were introduced firstly; in chapter two, new research progress of standardization and intellectual property strategy in macro level and in western medicine were summarized, respectively; in chapter three, standardization and intellectual property strategy were first summarized and then their correlation was discussed; in chapter four, some key problems were studied such as patent, know-how, trade mark, copyright and intellectual property abuse and so on; in chapter five, some cases for integration and dispute about standardization and intellectual property strategy were studied; in chapter six, coordinated development mechanism and framework were establised, and intellectual property policies were designed for standardization organizations; in chapter seven, the main conclusions and some problems to be resolved in the furture and the prospects of the study were arised.The conclusions in this paper were as follows: First, the dispute of standardization and intellectual property strategy in TCM was more distinctive. It was different from the disputes in other industries becouse of its management system and technological characteristics, and was more important than the dispute in western medicine because of the mode of quality control and complexity of standard system. Thus, the study of this dispute was more academic and practical value.Second, the two strategies were not concordant nowadays, and the important reasons included the intangible policies, unclear role orientation and bad harmony of the standardizing bodies in TCM. It will be a historical necessity for TCM to organically merge the two strategies, thus promote the unification, harmony, coordination and synchronization of the two strategies, and finally realize the effect of "1+1>2" of the two strategies.The countermeasures in this paper were as follows:For the government, give full play to the guide function in coordinated development between the two strategies, establish the formation mechanism based on intellectual property, intellectual property information disclosure system in standardization, intellectual property license system in standardization, incentive mechanism based on intellectual property for standard improvement of TCM, interest coordination mechanism between two strategies, technical barriers to trade based on standardization and intellectual property strategy, technological innovation strategy based on standardization and intellectual property strategy.For the industry, give full play to the coordination function in coordinated development between the two strategies, establish the formation mechanism of standardization based on enterprise alliance, technical standard alliances in TCM based on standardization and intellectual property strategy.For the enterprise, give full play to the subject status in coordinated development between the two strategies, establish the mode of integrated development of the two strategies, response mechanism on intellectual property dispute in standardization.For the public, give full play to the supervision function in coordinated development between the two strategies, guarantee the civil rights in standardization and intellectual property strategy.The innovative points in this paper were as follows:The connotation of standardization strategy in traditional Chinese medicine based on intellectual property was first put forward; the polices for standardization and intellectual property organizations were first designed; the concept of coordinated development between standardization and intellectual property strategy in traditional Chinese medicine was first put forward.
