| Abstract: | Intellectual
property (IP) protection for bioinformatics databases plays a
key role in accelerating development of biological sciences and biotechnological industry.
This paper presents current and global position of IP
protection in bioinformatics database. A protection method has been proposed after analysing characteristics of bioinformatics databases
and considering different database protection methods. Further, the paper
seeks to analyse the diffusion process of
biological information and develops an argument that bioinformatics
primary database should be put in public domain, though they may be given
financial subsidies by the government or other public funds according to the
diffusion phase of biological information. Suitable methods of IP protection in the bioinformatics
secondary database have been suggested. |
