浅析中国传统知识的知识产权保护

当今我国传统知识的知识产权遭受了十分严峻的侵害,而传统知识的特性又决定了其基本得不到现行知识产权制度的有效保护,因此寻求有效的法律保护途径显得尤其迫切。加强传统知识的法律保护应从建立传统知识数据库以防止不当授予专利;确立利益分享权及事先知情同意权以保护传统知识持有人的各项利益;适时、适度的介入国家公权力等方面入手,最大化的保障传统知识持有群体的合法权益。

About the Protection of the Intellectual Property of Traditional Knowledge of China

The intellectual property rights of traditional knowledge of China have suffered from severe infringement.However,owing to the unique features of traditional knowledge,such rights are not effectively protected by the current intellectual property system.Therefore,it is urgent to find a way for legal protection for the intellectual property rights of traditional knowledge of China.To do so,a database of traditional knowledge should be set up to prevent the illegal grant of patent rights;the rights to share profits and rights of prior informed consent should be prescribed to protect various interests of the traditional knowledge’s holders;timely and appropriate interference of the public power should be made to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the infringed group.
