Professor YI Jiming was, by invitation, the lecturer of the 25th Group Study Meeting of the Political Bureau of CPC Central Committee on the topic ‘Strengthening Intellectual Property Protection in China’. Prof. Yi’s major academic contributions are summarized as following: First, as to research on general theory of private law, he advocates private right notion and spirit, and suggests the research of private law as a whole. In the meantime, he presents the idea of continental private law’s origination in ancient Greece, and puts forward a evolutional mode from The Code of Gortyn to Corpus Juris Civilis and then Napoleonic Code. Second, as to research on the enactment of China’s Civil Code, he analyzes the codification and limitation from political, economic and cultural aspects, and proposes a codification idea of the “Nine-Volume Civil Code” that fully revolve around the needs of Chinese society. Third, he assimilates the Anglo-American academic achievements in his research on property law, and combines property law, intellectual property law, contract law and tort law into one theoretical framework. Specifically, he merges the analysis of newly created intellectual property right with that of real right and creditor’s right, and further develops the theoretical basis of property law. Fourth, he raises the conception of “technological sense” in the analysis of both intellectual property and science and technology laws, to elucidate the legal phenomenon in the knowledge society. He also proposes the category of “intellectual property system”, based on which he propels the institutional reform and modernization of China’s intellectual property system. Moreover, he develops a “market-behavior” binary analytical framework of intellectual property misuse, from the general perspective of prohibiting misusing acts of rights.
