Abstract:
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.
