The University of Macau (UM) today (24 October) held a talk titled ‘The Linkage Between Patents, Trade, and Human Rights & Macau’s Local Legal Development on Arbitration and Mediation’, as the 14th talk of the UM Scholar Research Forum. Wang Chao, professor in the Faculty of Law, was the speaker. The talk was attended by a full house of audience, with many secondary students and teachers watching it online as well. The talk covered two distinct topics, both of which encompassed international and local perspectives. The first topic revolved around the linkage between patents, trade and human rights. Prof Wang explained the importance of the patent protection system and multilateral international trade agreements in economic activities, as well as their positive and negative implications on human rights protection. The second topic was about the legal development of arbitration and mediation in Macao. Prof Wang shared his empirical research on developing a dispute resolution system that meets Macao’s actual circumstances and conditions.

澳門大學今（24）日舉行“澳大學人研究講壇”第14講，由澳大法學院教授汪超以“專利制度、國際貿易與個人權利的相互關係及澳門仲裁和調解制度的新發展”為題發表演說。講座現場座無虛席，一眾中學師生亦於線上參與。
講座上，汪超生動地介紹了兩個具有國際性和本土性的研究課題。他首先講解了有關專利保護制度及多邊國際貿易協定在經濟活動當中的重要性，並指出相關制度規則與個人生活之間的密切關聯及它們對個人權利保護的積極和消極意義。他還分享了其基於問卷調查和訪談方法的發現，並根據澳門的實際情況設計、適合本地特點的仲裁和調解制度。在問答環節，與會者積極提問，交流氣氛熱烈。
汪超在加拿大不列顛哥倫比亞大學獲得法學博士學位，並於2009年加入澳大，現任法學院教授及助理院長。汪超已發表超過50篇SSCI／Scopus／CSSCI期刊論文和章節，並擔任中國國際法學會常務理事。
澳大近年在研究創新方面取得顯著成效，澳大研究服務及知識轉移辦公室因而組織開展“澳大學人研究講壇”，邀請傑出的澳大學人以通俗易懂的方式介紹其前沿研究成果，培育通過學術研究創造知識的良好氛圍，引導大眾和青年學生了解研究創新的社會意義和價值，以及與日常生活密切關聯的應用性，提升科學素養。
