随着世界经济全球化步伐的加快,知识产权的重要性凸显。高校是知识产权意识和能力教育的主战场。我国现有知识产权教育与专业的密切程度急需提高。文章结合全球首个 CRISPR/Cas9专利权的授权公布和作者授课经历,提出了一种新的知识产权普及教育模式,将知识产权教育分为启蒙教育和深入研修两个阶段。第一阶段将知识产权教育与专业课课程无缝整合,后一阶段主要针对有志于发展成为知识产权专业人才的学生。我们认为这种教学模式的推广将解决现有知识产权教育中教材的欠缺以及教师的不足,有利于知识产权意识在生物医学等理工科学生的普及。遗传学在生物医学中具有特别重要的地位,因此,文章以遗传学最近的热点技术之一——基于CRISPR/Cas的基因组编辑新工具为例进行阐述。CRISPR/Cas从最初的微生物遗传学发现到成为基因组编辑的重要工具,贯穿了基础研究转化为关键技术的全过程,可以很好体现生物医学相关的知识产权教育的精髓。
With the accelerated globalization of the world economies, the role of intellectual property in the the competition is increasingly important. The universities are important base to instill the intellectual property awareness to the young generation. However, current model of intellectual property education cannot meet the needs of undergraduates. In this paper, we take the first patent issued for CRISPR/Cas9 system as a teaching example, and together with personal teaching experience in biomedicine related intellectual property, we propose a new way for intellectual property education which consists of two stages: enlightenment stage and in-depth training stage. In the former stage, we integrate the intellectual property education with the basic major courses. In the latter stage, students are encouraged to devote into intellectual property related career. This model can somehow solve the the current shortage of qualified teachers for biotechnology related intellectual property education and will facilitate the popula-rization of intellectual property in college students. Since genetics plays a pivotal role in biomedicine, this effort is illustrated by the novel genome editing technology based on the CRISPR/Cas9 system, which is one hotspot of recent studies. The trajectory of CRISPR/Cas9 from basic microbial genetics discovery to major tools for genome editing exeplified the essence of biomedicine related intellectual property education.
