ABSTRACT
Objective:By analyzing the patent literature of medical research institutions in Sichuan Province, the current status of patent development in each institution were analyzed to identify existing problems, according to which countermeasures were put forward.Methods:Using IncoPat as the retrieval tool, the patent documents of Sichuan medical scientific research institutions were searched, data about the overall application trend, applicant, patent type, legal events were analyzed, and relevant countermeasures were proposed based on the current patent development situation.Results:At present, the overall development of patents in Sichuan medical scientific research institutions is good, however, there are still some problems and challenges, such as weak awareness of patent protection, low patent quality, insufficient transformation of patent achievements and so on.Conclusions:By analyzing the present situation of patent development of medical scientific research institutions in Sichuan Province, this study put forward some countermeasures, including strengthening publicity on intellectual property protection, improving the driving mechanism, reforming intellectual property management and achievement transformation mechanism, to provide reference for promoting the benign development of patents at medical scientific research institutions, as well as promote the development of medical science and technology innovation.
