On the Necessity of Intellectual Property Rights Involving Standardization of Acupuncture and Moxibustion Therapies
In the process of working out and implementing standardization of acupuncture-moxibustion(acu-moxi)therapy
the issue of intellectual property rights has been frequently involved.Whether is the standardization inevitably involved in intellectual property rights?A reasonable answer to this question is definitely of important realistic guiding value and significance for acu-moxi standardization work.For this reason
authors of the present paper sum up historical development of correlation between acu-moxi standardization and intellectual property rights
and fully analyze the related causes under the conditions of knowledge economy from 1)increasing protection of acu-moxi intellectual property rights
2)intrinsic requirements for raising the standardization level of acu-moxi
3)profits drive of the intellectual property rights owners
