Abstract
IP Rights in China: Spurring Invention and Driving Innovation in Health and Agriculture
Abstract:
During its relatively brief history of IP (intellectual property) rights protection, China has achieved early success, thanks to the strengthening of governmental IP rights legislation, the establishment of an IP rights management system, the promotion of public knowledge about IP rights, and increasing opportunities for international exchange and cooperation. IP rights protection in the fields of health and agriculture has increased investment in these sectors, encouraged innovation in health and agricultural science, increased farmers’ incomes, and improved the quality of life for Chinese citizens. Dramatic increases in patent applications in China suggest that widespread implementation and greater enforcement of IP rights are stimulating inventive activity, encouraging technology transfer, and driving greater and greater innovation.
