Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the few disciplines in which China holds a competitive advantage internationally, embodying the wisdom, creativity, and contributions of the Chinese nation. TCM intellectual property is not only an intangible asset but also a crucial economic resource, whose value cannot only be measured in monetary terms but is also more significant than tangible assets. However, from China's current (actual situation), the protection of TCM intellectual property is still in its early stages. Due to the (specificity) of TCM, there are many concrete legal and technical issues that require further research and discussion. This is particularly important in the face of global competition from strong international players after China's entry into the WTO. This book emphasizes the combination of law and technology, theory and practice. Based on extensive surveys, research, analysis, and a thorough understanding of the current state of TCM intellectual property protection in China and major countries worldwide, it systematically, comprehensively, and accurately proposes the main scope, content, protection strategies, tactics, plans, and practical aspects of TCM patent protection. It offers certain innovation and guidance. The target readers include enterprises and institutions engaged in TCM research, production, and management, relevant personnel in the intellectual property field, as well as college students and teachers in related disciplines.
