Abstract

The registration of intellectual property rights in medical data is a crucial institutional arrangement for promoting the market-based allocation of data elements and advancing the development of metaverse medicine. Based on policy and legal foundations such as the “Twenty Data Articles” and considering the rapid growth trend of the global big data analytics market in healthcare, this paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the special legal requirements for medical data registration in terms of privacy protection and ethical review. By integrating three major typical cases from 2024 into the legal analysis, it systematically proposes legal pathways such as establishing a "medical data use right" and adopting a registration opposition system, providing theoretical support and practical references for constructing a medical data intellectual property registration system that meets practical needs.
