With the development of globalization of knowledge economy, intellectual property right has become a global issue that affects innovation, trade, investment, human rights, employment, public health, climate change, genetic resources, biodiversity and sustainable development. As the basic rule of international interest distribution in the era of globalization of knowledge economy, the international system of intellectual property right has an important impact on the contemporary international political and economic order. Therefore, global intellectual property right governance has been widely concerned by the international community. It can be predicted that in the next few years, participating in global intellectual property governance will not only be an important practice of relevant departments in China, but also become a hot issue in academic research. Therefore, combing and summarizing the relevant literature on global intellectual property governance, finding the achievements and shortcomings of the existing research, and exploring the future research direction on this basis can not only deepen and expand the theoretical research on intellectual property and global governance, but also have important theoretical value for the discipline construction of the two disciplines; Moreover, it can provide useful guidance for China to participate in global intellectual property governance and has important practical significance for building a strong intellectual property country.Domestic and foreign scholars' research on global intellectual property governance mainly involves the basic connotation, main characteristics, development trend, dynamic mechanism, political process, economic effect, dilemma and outlet, and the response of China. Although Chinese scholars have rich research results in global governance and international intellectual property protection, the research on global intellectual property governance is still in its infancy, and there are still many shortcomings. These shortcomings are mainly manifested in:the existing research mainly stays at the policy level, and the theoretical basic research is lacking; The ideal model of global intellectual property governance is not clear; The research on Chinese participation in global intellectual property governance is not deep enough. On this basis, the article points out the future research direction:the construction of theoretical analysis framework of global intellectual property governance, the exploration of ideal model of global intellectual property governance and the deepening of countermeasures research.
