This volume fills an important need for understanding about the
interplay between China's intellectual property protection system
and the potential for innovation in China's economy. Using examples
from the pharmaceutical and biotech industries, the author suggests
that, despite the widely documented challenges facing China's IPR
protection system, the system has a demonstrable effect on
innovation. The author suggests that China's patent system promotes
innovation through economic incentives, soft factors of public
encouragement, and intentional development strategies. This book is
also useful as an overview of China's biotech and pharmaceutical
sectors, offering a range of richly detailed case studies on
China's industrial development strategies in these sectors. A
number of important patent disputes between Chinese and foreign
companies are also examined to useful effect. In the highly
contentious policy world of intellectual property protection and
pharmaceutical and biotech industry development, the volume offers
a refreshing combination of detail and insight.'uPitman B. Potter,
University of British Columbia, Canada'Yahong Li's pioneering
study, Imitation to Innovation in China, breaks new ground in
closely examining the extent to which the Chinese government's
patent policies and patent activity by Chinese firms are
influencing China's coming transformation from an
imitation-oriented country to an innovation-oriented one. Her
combination of theoretical and empirical approaches exploring the
links between public policy, patenting activity and technological
innovation (commercialization) is an important contribution to
development studies, not just for China but for other newly
innovative countries as well.'uWilliam O. Hennessey, Franklin
Pierce Law Center, USA Following decades in which China's approach
to technology has been to imitate, the country is now transforming
itself to become innovation-oriented. This pioneering study
examines whether patents play as similar a role in promoting
innovation in China as they do in the West, exploring the interplay
between patents and China's biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industries in particular. The author argues for a stronger patent
regime based on an extensive review of the technological capacity,
R&D models, patent filings and litigations, and issues in
patent law, which involve China's biotechnology and pharmaceutical
industries. By comparing China with other developing countries and
analyzing China's uniqueness in terms of its development stage,
technological capacity and the strengths and weaknesses in its
patent system, the author concludes that China is distinguished
from the prevailing view that patents play a limited role in
innovation in developing countries. The book also discusses whether
and how patents can promote innovation in China's biotechnology and
pharmaceutical industries, based on the study of market scale,
R&D capacity, innovation model and patent legislation and
cases.
