中医药技术秘密保护的价值审视和风险规制

Value Examination and Risk Regulation of the Technical Secrets Protection of Traditional Chinese Medicine

The Intellectual Property(IP)rights system protecting modern medicine is based on western science and technology,with western medicine as the main object of protection,and patent protection as the core means.This patent protection system does not fit the theoretical system of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM),so when dealing with the protection of TCM IP rights,problems arise if TCM rights holders rely on that patent system.In contrast,the protection of technical secrets,which has been behind the patent system for a long time,can effec-tively make up for the insufficiency of the traditional IP protection system with patents as the core.Such protec-tion has become the new normal in the protection of TCM property rights.However,the protection of technical se-crets also has inherent shortcomings and conflicts with the information disclosure system involving the public in-terest of the society,so it faces difficulties in realizing the protection of TCM technical secrets.This article re-views the unique value of the protection of technical secrets in the field of TCM IP rights protection,seeking solu-tions for the dilemma of TCM technical secret protection,and providing ideas for constructing and perfecting TCM technical secret protection from a legal perspective.
