IMITATION TO INNOVATION IN CHINA: THE ROLE OF PATENTS IN BIOTECHNOLOGY AND PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRIES
Book ID/图书代码： 04289510B42736
English Summary/英文概要： Following decades in which China’s approach to technology has been to imitate, the country is now transforming itself to become innovation-oriented. This pioneering study examines whether patents play a similar role in promoting innovation in China as they do in the West, exploring the interplay between patents and China’s biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries in particular.
The author argues for a stronger patent regime based on an extensive review of the technological capacity, R&D models, patent filings and litigations, and issues in patent law, which involve China’s biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. By comparing China with other developing countries and analyzing China’s uniqueness in terms of its development stage, technological capacity and the strengths and weaknesses in its patent system, Yahong Li concludes that China is distinguished from the prevailing view that patents play a limited role in innovation in developing countries. The book also discusses whether and how patents can promote innovation in China’s biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, based on the study of market scale, R&D capacity, innovation model and patent legislation and cases.
This comprehensively researched book will be invaluable to multinational biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies either doing business or planning to do business in China. Practitioners and policymakers as well as academics and students specializing in IP law, economics and technology should also not be without this eloquent book.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 在过去的几个世纪里，中国的科学技术经历了历时很久的模仿时期，现在中国已扭转这一局面，正在向创新型国家发展。本书颇具开创性得对“专利”进行了研究，专利在中西方国家促进革新方面是否扮演着相似的角色？而且深入探讨了专利和中国的生物技术及制药工业之间的相互作用。
笔者认为一个强有力的专利政体是建立在科技能力、研发模式及专利申请和诉讼的外延评审上，还涉及到中国生物技术及制药工业的专利法。通过中国与其他发展中国家之间的对比，就发展阶段、科技能力和专利体系的优劣势而言，中国都存在着自身的独特性，李亚红彻底否定了当前一个盛行的观点，那就是认为专利在促进发展中国家改革创新的道路上只能发挥着极其有限的作用。另外本书还深入探讨了基于市场规模、研发能力、创新模式、专利立法和案例研究之上，专利是否以及如何能够促进中国生物技术及只要工业的发展。
本书对于跨国生物技术及制药企业或打算进驻中国市场的公司来说，都具有不可估量的参考价值。(兼职翻译-FSF)
Awards/获奖情况：对于理解中国知识产权保护及中国经济创新发展之间的相互作用，本书起到了一个非常关键的作用。引用了制药及生物技术的案例，作者认为，尽管中国面临着广泛记载的知识产权保护体系方面的挑战，但是该体系在促进中国改革创新所发挥的积极影响，亦成为不争的事实。同时本书也是中国生物技术及制药工业的一个非常精彩的综合概述，书中提供了此领域内大量丰富详细的个案研究。 --皮特曼.B. 波特（Pitman B. Potter）加拿大英属哥伦比亚大学
李亚红运用理论和实证向结合的方法，探索了公共政策、专利活动和技术创新之间的关联，这对中国及其他新兴创新型国家的发展研究来说，都是一个无比重大的贡献。-----威廉姆O. 亨尼西（William O. Hennessey） 美国富兰克林皮尔斯法律中心
