Exploration on Evaluation System for Traditional Medicine Patent / 世界科学技术-中医药现代化

ABSTRACT

So far, an evaluation system for the patent value of traditional medicine is in absence. For this reason, an evaluation system had been established in this paper, by taking advantage of unique attributes of traditional medicine. This system consisted of 10 key indexes equipped with the algorithm for the calculation of original value and comparative value. The comparative value of patent was easier to show the value difference among patents. In consideration of strong correlation between the legal value, technical value, and economic value of the patent and be-tween evaluation indexes thereof, three kinds of value were combined together without discrimination for integral e-valuation. Besides, with inclusion of specific indexes in this field, the non-specific indexes related or indexes un-available were excluded. Because there is no personal rating involved, this evaluation system is appropriate for the automatic evaluation of patents of traditional medicine and other fields .
