Research On The Theory Of Access To Knowledge

With the development of economic globalization,the intellectual property has also gone from a protection of domestic law to a protection of globalization.Throughout the process of globalization of intellectual property,there are some contradictions and conflicts between the right holders and the public.The Access to Knowledge movement is a loose collection of civil society groups,governments,and individuals converging on the idea that access to knowledge should be linked to fundamental principles of justice, freedom,and economic development.The Access to Knowledge movement takes concerns with copyright law and other regulations that affect knowledge and places them within an understandable social need and policy platform:access to knowledge goods. The recent consolidation of various local and global social movements working towards greater access to knowledge builds on previous and ongoing efforts by citizens' groups working for access to information in general.While the Access to Knowledge movement is concerned about fairness and access to knowledge,it also is supportive of creative and inventive communities.To reconcile these interests,we promote new paradigms for the creation and management of knowledge resources.Knowledge goods are also fundamentally different from physical goods and services.They can be copied.They can be shared.They do not have to be scarce.The rich and the poor can be more equal with regard to knowledge goods than to many other areas.At the same time,in order to protect the public's right to exist in developing countries and to promote the economic and social development in developing countries,it also requires access to knowledge.The goals of Access to Knowledge are embodied in a draft treaty,emerging from a call from Brazil and Argentina for a development agenda for the World Intellectual Property Organization. The treaty is intended to ease the transfer of knowledge to developing nations,and to secure the viability of open innovation systems all over the world.The theory of access to knowledge is a correction of the current international intellectual property system,so that the intellectual property system can play better to maintain the existing knowledge, and expand the total society knowledge.The theoretical basis for the intellectual property system also have to convert from the theory of natural rights to instrumentalism.And in order to achieve the purpose of access to knowledge,we should set up a system of public domain.
