对包括我国在内的122个国家和地区的知识产权保护的立法水平进行定量测度,并构建知识产权执法力度指数,进而得出各国知识产权的实际保护水平。在此基础上,以人均国民收入为解释变量对知识产权保护水平进行回归分析。结果表明,中国知识产权立法保护水平近二十年来提升显著,已达国际较高水平。同时,我国在知识产权执法力度上差距明显,不仅远低于发达国家水平,甚至未能达到世界平均水平,导致中国知识产权实际保护水平也远低于发达国家水平,并略低于世界平均水平。然而回归分析显示,一国经济发展水平对其知识产权保护水平有较显著影响,如果以人均国民收入来衡量,我国当前的知识产权实际保护水平与我国的经济发展水平基本相适应,不存在保护不足的问题。
The real situation of China's IPR protection level is important basis for us to formulate and evaluate relevant policy. This pa- per takes a quantitative measurement of the level of protection of intellectual property legislation of 122 countries, including China, and provide an index to evaluate the level of intellectual property enforcement, then obtain the actual level of intellectual property protec- tion. The results show that the level of China's IPR protection legislation in the last three decades, especially after 2000 have signifi- cantly improved. However, enforcement of IPR in China in is not so effective, not only far lower than developed countries, and even failed to reach the world average, which resulting in China~ IPR protection actual level is far below the level of developed countries, and slightly lower than the world average . However the regression analysis shows that the level of economy development obviously influ- ences the IPR protection level. As a result, ,China' s current actual IPR protection level is sufficient for its economy development.
