According to the provisions of China's Copyright Law, works protected by copyright refer to intellectual achievements that are original in the fields of literature, art and science and can be reproduced in some tangible form. Prescription is a common expression of prescription name, indications, drugs, preparation, usage and postscript of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is not original. The expression of its pharmaceutical ingredients is only the permutation and combination of well-known Chinese medicine names, which reflects technical information and is not original in expression. Legally speaking, the content of prescription should belong to the protection of technical secrets, not to the protection of copyright.
