Comment Upon History and the Debate Over Intellectual Property
评论了彭等人关于中国知识产权历史的研究，认为其有助于纠正将中国视为‘盗版者’的过度修辞，并通过历史背景分析延伸至当代中国的知识产权与创新讨论。
The long historical view in Peng, Ahlstrom, Carraher, and Shi (2017), which discusses the issues regarding intellectual property rights (IPR) in China, is a welcome antidote to the overheated rhetoric in the public debate that characterizes China as a ‘pirate’ and slavish imitator. So, I thought that by engaging the paper obliquely, it might be possible to extend Peng et al.’s (2017) observations and conclusions. I will do this by contextualizing their observations about the history of IPR and then turn to the contemporary discussions of IPR and innovation in China.
