(A closer look at China) The first "brainstorming" after the Fifth Plenary Session of the Central Committee, why did Xi Jinping pay attention to this issue?
China News Agency, Beijing, December 1st (Reporter Zhang Weiran) The Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held the 25th collective study on strengthening China’s intellectual property protection work on the afternoon of November 30. This is after the conclusion of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th CPC Central Committee. The first group study organized by the Politburo.
Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, delivered a speech when presiding over the study.
He emphasized that to build a modern socialist country in an all-round way, we must start from the height of national strategy and the requirements of entering a new stage of development, comprehensively strengthen intellectual property protection, promote the construction of a modern economic system, stimulate the innovation vitality of the entire society, and promote the construction of a new development pattern.
The Politburo collective study is considered by the outside world to be an occasion for "brainstorming" among the party's top leaders.
For the first "brainstorm" after the Fifth Plenary Session, why did Xi Jinping pay attention to intellectual property protection?
Experts interviewed by a reporter from China News Agency pointed out that the choice of this topic has a profound temporal and spatial background.
At present, China is transforming from a big country in the introduction of intellectual property rights to a big country in intellectual property creation, and intellectual property work is changing from pursuing quantity to improving quality.
The "Proposals" of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee put forward clear requirements for strengthening intellectual property protection.
Wang Hongguang, former director of the Biological Center of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China and director of the International Bioeconomy Center of Tsinghua University, believes that as China enters a new stage of development, the protection of intellectual property rights is the protection of innovation, the "first driving force for development."
By comprehensively strengthening intellectual property protection, Xi Jinping intends to “re-enable” China’s innovation and development, forming a virtuous circle of intellectual property protection, application and development. From a longer-term perspective, comprehensively strengthening intellectual property protection is also China’s future entry into an innovative country The forefront must complete institutional preparations.
"Xi Jinping presided over this collective study, not only for the spirit of Chaintech's Fifth Plenary Session, "long-term planning" for the protection of intellectual property rights, in order to stimulate innovative vitality and promote the construction of a new development pattern, it is also "working in the moment". Make up for weak links and promote the quality and upgrading of intellectual property protection." said Zhu Lijia, a professor at the Central Party School (National School of Administration).
This "long-term plan" is prominently reflected in the strengthening of the top-level design.
For example, in his speech, Xi Jinping particularly emphasized the need to strengthen the creation and reserve of independent intellectual property rights in key areas.
Over the past years, independent intellectual property rights have been one of the core driving forces of China's economic and social development.
Wang Hongguang believes that Xi Jinping's special request to strengthen the creation and reserve of independent intellectual property rights in key areas is an urgent need for real development.
At present, some key advanced technologies are becoming more and more difficult to obtain internationally, and individual countries have even generalized the concept of national security, imposing restrictions on normal scientific and technological exchanges between countries, which damages the atmosphere of international exchanges and cooperation.
China's "hard work" in key areas will help grasp the initiative in development and ensure that future innovation and development will continue to have the "source of water".
And "working in the moment" means that only by making intellectual property protection "more powerful" can innovation and development be "more powerful."
In his speech, Xi Jinping clarified everything from improving the level of legalization of intellectual property protection, to strengthening the protection of the entire chain of intellectual property rights, to deepening the reform of the intellectual property protection work system and mechanism.
According to Huang Jin, deputy director of the International Economic Law Research Office of the Institute of International Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, these arrangements first highlight the problem orientation.
For example, strengthening the protection of the entire chain of intellectual property rights will help break the current situation of imperfect coordination and cooperation in various aspects such as administrative law enforcement, judicial protection, arbitration and mediation, and industry self-discipline, and further promote the construction of a large-scale protection work pattern.
On the other hand, these deployments also focus on exerting efforts from the institutional level.
For example, Xi Jinping requires the improvement of the intellectual property protection system in new fields and new formats such as big data, artificial intelligence, and genetic technology, and timely study and formulation of protection methods for traditional culture and traditional knowledge.
“With the vigorous development of big data and artificial intelligence, there is a certain lag in related legal protection and institutional guarantees. Timely supplementation of protection shortcomings in these fields will help promote smoother development of new business formats and a fairer and fairer innovation environment. "Zhu Lijia said.
In addition to coordinating the relationship between "long-term planning" and "working in the present", experts also noted that China's intellectual property protection focuses on the relationship between "inside" and "outside".
While "looking inward" and comprehensively strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights in the country, we must persist in "looking outward" and promote international cooperation and competition in the field of intellectual property as a whole.
In his speech, Xi Jinping emphasized to promote the development of the global intellectual property governance system towards a more fair and reasonable direction. At the same time, he called for the maintenance of national security in the field of intellectual property, emphasized the need to strengthen independent research and development and protection of key core technologies related to national security, and legal management involves national security. The external transfer of intellectual property rights.
Huang Jin said that technological competition and cooperation are important issues related to the right to survival and development of all countries. Due to the strong territorial nature of intellectual property issues, there are differences in national conditions, laws and cultures in the protection methods of various countries, and objectively it is necessary to build a good global Intellectual property governance system to regulate competition and cooperation between countries.
Xi Jinping proposed to promote the development of the global intellectual property governance system in a more fair and reasonable direction, demonstrating China's responsibility.
At present, Chinese high-tech enterprises and personnel have encountered transnational disputes and even disputes involving intellectual property protection in the course of international cooperation.
In this context, how to better protect the key core technologies related to national security is particularly urgent.
Wang Hongguang believes that Xi Jinping emphasizes the maintenance of national security in the field of intellectual property rights and puts forward requirements on research and development, protection, and foreign transfer. These statements are very necessary.
Maintaining national security in the field of intellectual property rights is not only to protect the labor achievements of Chinese scientific and technological personnel, but also to protect the innovative elements of Chinese society, and to lay a solid foundation for China to become a major country in intellectual property creation.
"To strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights in an all-round way can we build a more fair and just environment for economic and social activities and better participate in international competition and cooperation." Wang Hongguang said.
