Abstract
In China, the low rate of technology commercialization has been an indisputable fact for a long time, and up to now, no effective way to solve such a problem has been found. There are many reasons and one of them is that the accurate implication of the objectives of Intellectual property legal system, which are merely regarded as “protection for holders’ interests”, may have not been recognized, and the patent’s nature which is a kind of private property right serving for commercial activities and the missions of the patent institution (to promote the commercialization of the patented technologies) have been distorted.
