Anatomy Of Technical Innovation Path And Analysis Of Patent Protection Strategy Of Commercial Japanese Kampo Medicines

At present,the sales share of Japanese Kampo medicine has accounted for 90% of the Chinese medicine market in the world.The reason why Japanese Kampo medicine can achieve this outstanding achievement is mainly due to the importance that Japanese companies attach to the technological innovation and patent protection of Kampo medicine.It is worthy of us to learn from.The combination of patent literature research and empirical analysis was used in this paper,focusing on the analysis and discussion of the technological innovation path and patent protection strategy of Japanese enterprises on Japanese Kampo medicine.For example,Daikenchuto,Anchusan,Saireito,Ireito,Yokukansan,Bofutsushosan,Bakumondoto,Unkeito.in order to provide ideas and experience for the modernization and internationalization of traditional Chinese medicine.The paper finds that the technological innovation path of Japanese companies is mainly reflected in the fact that Japanese companies has carried out a large number of technological innovations in the formulation,preparation,excipients,quality control,etc.of Japanese Kampo medicine,making the Japanese preparations safer,better in efficacy,more convenient to use,and more broader of indications.The paper also finds that Japanese companies have carried out a large number of patent protections on the technological innovation of Kampo medicine through the following measures,ensuring the competitiveness of Kampo medicine in the international market.The specific measures are to apply for the remedy of patents for listed drugs through preemptive patent applications;attach importance to the international patent layout strategy of the classics,to lay the foundation for broadening the overseas market through the international patent layout;apply for patents based on the drug sales market;use the priority system to reasonably extend the patent protection period;use the combination strategies of patents and standards,and through the construction of patent portfolio strategies to ensure exclusivity in the implementation of technology.
