The commercialization of pharmaceutical patents in China
James Hou (Author)
"Presenting detailed analysis of the industrialization of pharmaceutical patents in China, this timely book explores a range of related topics including a comparison of the ideal and existing state of the pharmaceutical market and patent industrialization. It argues that the core purpose of the industrialization of pharmaceutical patents is to promote the development of the local pharmaceutical industry whilst also protecting society's right to safe and effective medication."

China has made significant strides in enhancing patent protection for life sciences.
Introduced in 2021, this e Patent Linkage System allows for patent disputes to be resolved before the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) or the Beijing Intellectual Property Court. This system is similar to the US Hatch-Waxman Act but has some differences, such as shorter regulatory stays and dual forums for dispute resolutions.
Patent Term Extension (PTE) and Patent Term Adjustment (PTA) provisions allow for extensions to the patent term to compensate for delays in regulatory approval processes.
The revised patent law has increased statutory damages and introduced punitive damages, making it more financially viable for patentees to pursue infringement cases.
These changes are intended to strengthen patent protection and align with China's focus on drug innovation.

What's a Provost?
A provost is the chief academic officer at a university. Well, that is one definition.
At many universities the Provost supervises the deans, and spends a lot of time on budgets and personnel matters.

Not our Provost. At the Academy our Provost is focused on learning effectiveness. Leading our
instructional design efforts, the Provost works with the Department Chairs and faculty members to design the courses so that the instruction is as effective as possible, with application of consistent teaching principles and techniques across all of our courses.
By ensuring that all courses in all departments are structured with a flow from basic to advanced, with section breaks and memorization

Faculty -- not just instructors.
We work to have faculty members that are experts in their subject matter, but who also are skilled at teaching the material. Good teaching is difficult, and not as easy as it looks.
Our instructors are selected for their commitment to improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the industry by providing training that will contribute to the capabilities and performance of the students;

We seek out people who see clarity where others see only chaos. People who have a vision of what the basics are, and who want to teach those basics. We deliberately avoid having faculty members who “hide the ball” or convey only that the topic is difficult and that their consulting services are the path forward.
Our faculty members work to provide you with useful skills and insight
