知识产权作为自主创新的出发点和落脚点,作为建设创新性国家的重要支撑,已经成为国家竞争力的核心要素。制定和施行符合本国国情和利益的知识产权国家战略越来越成为国家核心竞争力的根本,在此方面发达国家已经走在了世界前列。特别是邻国日本在新世纪初明确提出“知识产权立国”的战略目标。通过最近十年的实践努力,日本已经探索建立了一整套的知识产权创造、应用、保护和管理的科学机制。日本的国家战略自此实现了由“科技创新立国”到“知识产权立国”的重大调整。深入了解当代日本知识产权保护制度为我国创新性国家建设提供了借鉴和启示意义。 As the starting point and ending point of independent innovation, intellectual property, as an important support for building an innovative country, has become a core element of national competitiveness. The formulation and implementation of national strategies for IPRs that are in line with their own national conditions and interests have increasingly become the cornerstone of the country’s core competitiveness. In this respect, the developed countries have already taken the forefront in the world. In particular, Japan, the neighboring country, clearly proposed the strategic goal of “establishing a nation based on intellectual property” at the beginning of the new century. Through the efforts of the past decade, Japan has explored and established a set of scientific mechanisms for the creation, application, protection and management of intellectual property. Since then, Japan’s national strategy has achieved a major readjustment from “establishing a nation through science and technology” to “establishing a nation with intellectual property rights.” Deeply understanding contemporary Japan’s system of intellectual property protection provides reference and inspiration for the construction of our country with innovation.
