Balancing Act: Intellectual Property Protection and Innovation
"Intellectual Property" is not an inherent natural right; nowadays, its protection in commercial activities is meant to compensate for intellectual labor and incentivize innovation. Developing new drugs incurs high costs, and recouping those expenses during the patent protection period provides the motivation for companies to continue their research. However, after the protection period expires, other pharmaceutical companies can produce a large number of generic drugs, leading to a significant drop in drug prices.
Reasonable intellectual property protection strikes a balance between encouraging innovation and widespread dissemination of achievements. Yet, if handled improperly, it can become a thorny issue. Neglecting intellectual property protection for the sake of "reckless development" may lead to a "counterfeit society," putting everyone at risk. Additionally, exploiting certain clauses may create "intellectual property barriers" that hinder technological advancement. These are all aspects worth contemplating beyond the excitement of watching the movie.
