我国上市中药企业专利质量研究——基于研发投入视角

近年来,我国中药发明专利申请量迅速攀升,但授权率却呈下降趋势。上市中药企业是该领域创新较为活跃的群体,因此该文通过将专利申请及授权情况与企业R&D投入情况相结合,分析了它们的专利质量,以期探索提高中药专利质量切实可行的方法。研究得出以下结论:我国上市中药企业整体R&D投入不足,各企业间差距较大;上市中药企业专利申请意识较好,专利申请数量基本处于合理范围,但部分企业仍存在非正常专利申请现象,专利质量有待提升;此外企业的专利运营能力仍有待提升。针对这种现象,企业应切实提高科学研究与试验发展(R&D)投入,加强技术创新水平,提高专利运营能力,自觉杜绝"非正常专利"的产出;专利行政部门则应优化有利于专利质量提升的政策导向,把握正常合理的审查尺度,共同逐步提升中药专利的质量。

Research on patent quality of Chinese listed traditional Chinese medicine enterprises from R&D investment perspective

In recent years,the number of patent applications for traditional Chinese medicine( TCM) inventions has increased rapidly,but the authorization rate has declined. Listed TCM enterprises are a group of active innovators in this field,so this paper analyzes their patent quality by combining patent application and authorization with R&D investment of enterprises in order to explore a practical way to improve the quality of TCM patents. The conclusions are as follows: the R&D investment of listed TCM enterprises is insufficient and the gap between enterprises is large;the number of patent applications is within a reasonable range,but some enterprises still have abnormal patent applications,and patent quality needs to be improved;in addition,the patent operation capacity of enterprises still needs to be improved. In this phenomenon,enterprises should improve R&D investment,strengthen the level of technological innovation,improve the ability of patent operation,and consciously eliminate the output of " abnormal patents";the patent administrative department should optimize policy direction which is beneficial to the improvement of patent quality,grasp the normal and reasonable examination scale,and jointly improve the quality of TCM patents.
