ABSTRACT
The patents of acupuncture and moxibustion in China and abroad was analyzed, aiming to provide support for the innovative development of acupuncture industry. With the China Think Tank of Patent of Traditional Chinese Medicine and the PatSnap database as data sources, based on the mathematical statistics method, the application trend, legal status, patent types, transformation and distribution of major technical fields of acupuncture patents in China and abroad were analyzed. As a result, a total of 53,422 acupuncture patents were screened, involving 49 countries and 4 organizations. The patent types were mainly utility model patents. Although the application number of acupuncture patent had increased rapidly, the average patent conversion rate was generally low, approximately 4%. In the context of global economic integration, the acupuncture industry is developing at a high speed. It is suggested to take advantage of the "Belt and Road Initiative" to improve the international acceptance of acupuncture and moxibustion, adhere to the principle of attaching equal importance to the number and quality of patents, promote the in-depth cooperation of industry-university-research, and promote high-quality development of acupuncture and moxibustion.

Objective:To understand the current status and main models of transformation of medical patent in the World-class universities in China, carry out research on the transformation of scientific and technological achievements based on the perspective of patents.Methods:The registration data of assigned medical patent of 42 universities were collected to analyze the overall status of transformation, the cycle and the transfer flow of patent transfer. The main fields and themes involved in the transfer of patented technology are shown by cluster analysis methods. The prominent transfer mode of medical patents in the universities was discovered by analyzing the transferees of assigned patents.Results:Among 42 universities, medical patents transferred within ten years account for approximately 6% of authorized patents, and the average transfer cycle is 28 months, and transferees are business-oriented. The transferred patents cover more topics including hydantoin derivative, fucoidan sulfate, human papilloma virus, brain-computer interface and minimally invasive surgery. 88% of patents are based on the traditional direct patent technology transfer model. In addition, it also includes transfer modes such as transfer through the asset operating company, the spin-offs, the third-party intermediary, the institute, and the technology transfer center.Conclusions:The overall task of building a World-class university is heavier and the demonstration effect is more obvious. However, the status quo is that the proportion of transfer patents of the World-class university is still low, the transfer cycle is long, and the mode of transfer of scientific and technological achievements is relatively single and should be more innovative. The World-class universities should improve the quality of their own scientific and technological achievements, improve the results transformation mechanism, and constantly explore the mode of achievement transformation in a more tailored way.
ABSTRACT
Objective As one of the important parts of medical scientific research outcomes,the significance of nursing patents is becoming more and more prominent during recent years.However,the nursing department is the blind spot of intellectual property in most hospitals.This article tried to explore strategies to eliminate harriers to the implementation of nursing intellectual property rights in order to promote nursing patents.Methods This paper conducted systematic analysis of the problems and obstacles in the implementation and transformation of nursing patents,and proposed tailored administrative plan.Results Identified obstacle factors include personal reasons of the nursing staff,heavy daily clinical work,as well as the immature patent system and patent market in China.Accordingly,our hospital adopted several corrective measurements,for instance,improving the support for the implementation of nursing patents,strengthening the cultivation and incubation of the intellectual property of nursing staff and standardizing the patent management.Conclusions These measures have effectively im proved the awareness and enthusiasm of nurses' patent knowledge.And we have obtained the ice breaking of the transformation of nursing patents in our hospital.
ABSTRACT
Objective The demand for medical intellectual property transformation has been increasing.However,the current patent transformation system in our country is not yet perfect.The specialization and complexity of patent value evaluation hampered the transformation.In this article,we argued and analyzed the method of value evaluation before the transformation of medical patent in order to promote the transformation of medical patent.Methods Through the analysis and comparison of classic patent valuation models,the advantages and disadvantages of the three types of cost method,market method and income method are summarized,also introduced the methods and experience of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University.Results The three methods including comprehensive cost accounting,market value valuation and negotiation between the two parties to carry out the pre-transformation value evaluation,can help to obtain the transaction valuation value of the medical patent that meets the current actual situation.Conclusions The scientific and operable value evaluation method of medical patents before transformation,organized approval process and clear revenue management are vital strategies for the transformation of medical patents.
