Abstract:The accessibility of medicines is a basic evaluation indicator of public health and well-being.Availability and affordability separate the two ends of drug accessibility.Balancing the interests of the two ends of drug accessibility dynamically is regarded as the criterion of drug patent linkage system.To a certain extent, the previous revisions of Patent Law of China have promoted the process of drug patent linkage, and the relevant policies and regulations in the field of drugs are also exploring the possibility of drug patent linkage gradually.Through the comparative analysis of the mode of drug patent association outside the region, it is found that compared with the mode of independent operation of drug patent, the mode of drug patent linkage system is more conducive to promoting the development of innovative drug industry.However, China's drug patent linkage has not reached the level of systematization at present, and there are a series of difficulties.Therefore, we should construct a drug patent linkage system with Chinese characteristics from the aspects of relevant legislation, registration and publicity, linkage mechanism, decision mechanism and duration of rights.
