Economic globalization and knowledge revolution have great influence upon the system of intellectual property right (IPR). From an international view, IPR has become a set of game rules with universal binding force. In the meantime, the systematization and codification of IPR have also shown some indications. In the complicated international background, the construction of IPR system of modern countries has vivid characteristics of this time, that is, not only with the strategic policy consideration of facilitating economic and social development, but also with the rational arrangement of pursuing the systematization of legal norms.From the view of the whole world, the modernization and internationalization of IPR are full harmonized, which means that the innovations of IPR system coping with new technologies are usually widely accepted by many countries through the mechanism of international conventions. To cope with such development, modern countries have set up domestic strategies of IPR as their policy selection. And to realize their strategic aim, modern countries also take codification of IPR as the rational pursuit of legislation model. In one word, the different aspects of the development and change of IPR system are not isolated or separated, but relate to and act on each other under the international and domestic background.For the present, Chinese IPR enterprise lies in a new and important historic period. As to the construction of IPR system, China has entered into a strategic positive period. To satisfy the request of domestic economic and social development, China should reinforce its legislation work, so as to provide the institutional foundation for the construction of an innovation-typed country. As to the operation of IPR system, China has entered into a pivotal development period. IPR Law is a component part of public policy. Whether IPR Law can fully exert its function of promoting knowledge innovation and propelling social development or not lies not only on the soundness of legislation, but also on the real effect of law application. We can believe that, standing on the indigenous actuality and future needs, Chinese IPR system should follow international change and time’s trend, and step on the way of internationalization, modernization, strategy and codification. |
