Discussion on emergency transfer of hospital service invention patent during COVID-19 pandemic period / 中华医学科研管理杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:At present, there are several modes of patent transformation of hospital service invention in our country. However, most of them are one-to-one style which is time-consuming and difficult to achieve industrialization in a short time. This study focuses on whether it is appropriate for public hospitals to use the mode of general license (i.e. one patent licensed to several enterprises concurrently or successively) to turn the patents of invention into productivity more efficiently.Methods:Combined with the period of COVID-19 pandemic, Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University successfully applied the mode of general license to achieve the patent transfer experience, and discussed the important value of the mode of general license for translational medicine.Results:The latest achievements of medical research are turned into clinical medical technologies and products quickly and effectively, proposing an appropriate scheme for the rapid transformation of patents, which balanced the interest of different stakeholders to gain the win-win situation.Conclusions:The innovative general licensing model can enable the patents transformation quickly and efficiently as long as it′s used properly.
