对知识产权国际保护的反思——从公共健康角度

当前,知识产权保护的国际化,实际上就是发达国家知识产权制度的国际化.在全球不同背景下强制性地运用单一制度必然会出现不和谐的声音,全球性的公共健康危机凸显了这种冲突,引发舆论对知识产权国际保护合理性的探讨.知识产权与健康权都是社会承认的基本人权,其中任何一种在特定的背景中都有自身的价值,但并非所有的人权都是并列的.当全球有数以万计的人正在遭受公共健康威胁时,孰重孰轻的问题就不言而喻了,应当使公共健康与知识产权国际保护已经失衡的天平回归平衡.

Reflections on the International Protection of Intellectual Property Right

At present,the internationalization of the protection of intellectual property right(IPR) is actually the internationalization of IPR system of the advanced Western countries.The global crisis of public health demonstrates the disharmony of the adoption of single IPR system in diverse backgrounds,which has caused global discussion of the rationality of international protection of IPR.When intellectual property rights contradict acutely with the rights of health,we should decide which one has the priority.This becomes clear when millions of people are suffering public health crisis around the world.We should keep balance between public health and internationalization of the protection of IPR.
