On February 1, "Seeking Truth" magazine will publish General Secretary Xi Jinping's important article "Comprehensively Strengthen Intellectual Property Protection Work, Stimulate Innovation Vitality, and Promote the Construction of a New Development Pattern"
In the article, General Secretary Xi Jinping raised the importance of intellectual property protection to an unprecedented height.
Just two months ago, the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee held the 25th collective study on strengthening my country's intellectual property protection work.
Such intensive emphasis on intellectual property protection has released an important signal.
Why is protecting intellectual property rights so important?
"Innovation is the first driving force for development, and protecting intellectual property rights is protecting innovation."
At present, the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation are accelerating. Only by further strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights can we guarantee the vast number of scientific and technological workers to advance to the forefront of science and technology in the world and lay a solid institutional foundation for the realization of scientific and technological self-reliance.
On January 11, the "Hualong No. 1" demonstration project-Unit 6 of China National Nuclear Corporation's Fuqing Nuclear Power Plant completed the cold performance test.
"Hualong One" is a third-generation nuclear power technology with completely independent intellectual property rights in my country. It has a design life of 60 years and meets the highest international safety standards in terms of safety.

With the continuous development of innovation and the full penetration of economic and social life, the significance of strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights is no longer limited to the field of technological innovation.
At the opening ceremony of the second “Belt and Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum, President Xi Jinping pointed out in a keynote speech: “Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights is not only the need to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic and foreign enterprises, but also to promote the construction of an innovative country. The inherent requirements to promote high-quality development."
The transformation and application of innovative achievements, the creation of a good business environment, the smooth development of international exchanges, and the protection of consumers' legitimate rights and interests do not require the protection of the intellectual property system.
More and more people realize that intellectual property protection has become the "rigid need" for innovation-driven development and the "standard configuration" of international trade.
There is no doubt that strengthening the protection of intellectual property has become an important measure with overall impact, and the whole society can raise awareness together to better promote the development of intellectual property protection.
What are the "higher requirements" for intellectual property work?
"At present, my country 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 shifting from pursuing quantity to improving quality."
In the article, General Secretary Xi Jinping accurately marked the historical coordinates of my country's current intellectual property protection work.
On the one hand, "have embarked on a path of intellectual property development with Chinese characteristics, and achieved historic achievements in intellectual property protection."
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, my country has issued a series of major policies, actions, and plans, implemented a strict intellectual property protection system, and continued to strengthen protection.
By the end of 2020, the effective number of domestic invention patents (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) reached 2.213 million, and the number of effective registered trademarks exceeded 30 million.
In 2019, the added value of patent-intensive industries nationwide reached 11.46 trillion yuan, accounting for 11.6% of GDP.
On the other hand, "we have to be sober to see the shortcomings."
Problems such as difficulty in raising evidence, high costs, and low compensation for rights protection still exist. High-quality development places higher requirements on the overall quality of intellectual property rights, and the efficiency of patent conversion needs to be further improved.
At present, the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation has taken solid steps to enter a new stage of development, implement new development concepts, build a new development pattern, and promote high-quality development. It requires strong support for higher-quality intellectual property work.
In this regard, General Secretary Xi Jinping pointed out the direction for comprehensively strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights: "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, and stimulate the innovation vitality of the whole society. Promote the construction of a new development pattern."
