Squaring the Virtuous Circle: Exploring the Potential of the ‘Five Cs’

During his May 2014 visit to Australia Pascal Lamy, former Director General of the World Trade Organization, urged ‘public institutions, civil society, and global businesses’ to forge ‘creative coalitions’ for the purpose of engaging constructively and positively with the complex problems standing in the way of achieving social and economic sustainability. Lamy's visit was but the first of several occasions during 2014 in which intense public discussion erupted about the need for government, business, and civil society to pool their capacities in boundary‐spanning efforts to address complex policy problems. This article investigates whether the public discussion portends a heightened policy focus on the ‘five Cs’: co‐production, co‐design, corporate social responsibility, collective impact, and Lamy's creative coalitions.     

改善创新人才培养教育环境的若干思考

我国已成为高等教育大国,人才培养规模位居世界之首。近年来,我国制定和出台了一系列有利于高校创新人才成长的计划,并取得较好成效。但还要看到高等教育在本科教学实践、教学科研投入以及跨学科、跨实验室参与科研活动等环节方面还很薄弱,制约了学生创新能力的提升。为此,我国高等教育需要进一步明确创新人才培养目标,加强学术规范制度建设和产学研的合作,为创新人才营造健康成长的环境。     

法官解释：服从抑或创造

在法官解释法律的过程中,服从法律文本是法官的天职;同时,需要丰富智慧的创造性解释,对于法律的发展和进化意义重大。于是,司法过程中,便产生了两难：法官是该严格地服从法律,抑或创造性地解释法律。我们应该采取有效的措施,以避免冲撞。现实的出路是：服从应该被摆放在第一位,而必要时候的创造应当在法治的轨道之上。这个过程中,法官要科学地运用各种解释方法。     

实用新型专利质量提升之路探析

实用新型专利申请数量多年来保持持续稳定增长,但是其专利质量并没有随之提高。国内外业界人士对我国实用新型专利质量存在广泛质疑,如果再不采取有效措施提高实用新型专利质量,无论是对创新主体,还是对实用新型专利制度自身必将带来严重的伤害。通过分析发现我国实用新型专利质量目前存在的主要问题：实用新型专利立法的不完善、实用新型审查制度的缺陷和专利资助政策的错误导向,进而从实用新型专利制度的顶层设计、专利审查制度的完善、专利激励政策的正确制定和专利申请主体的法律规制四方面提出相应提高我国实用新型专利质量的对策。
