Recently, the State Intellectual Property Office released the "2022 China Intellectual Property Development Status Evaluation Report" and "2022 China Patent Survey Report" in Beijing.
The report shows that the construction of my country's intellectual property power has achieved remarkable results, the mutual support between intellectual property rights and economic development is obvious, the comprehensive competitiveness of intellectual property rights has been steadily improved, and my country's economy has been driven towards innovation-driven transformation and low-carbon development.
"China's intellectual property output capacity index is 81.21, ranking fifth in the world; the intellectual property development basic index is 83.07, ranking eighth; the market value index is 74.40, ranking tenth, and all sub-indices have entered the top ten in the world." National Bai Jianfeng, director of the Intellectual Property Development Research Center of the Intellectual Property Office, said that the data in the report reflect that China's intellectual property rights have developed a good momentum of high-quality innovation in recent years. Power is also greatly enhanced.
The industrialization rate of invention patents has steadily increased in the past five years
"Survey data show that in 2022, the overall effect of patent transfer and transformation in my country will increase steadily, and the industrialization rate of invention patents will increase steadily in the past five years. In 2022, the industrialization rate of effective invention patents in my country will reach 36.7%, an increase of 1.3% over the previous year. It hit a new high in the past five years. Among them, the industrialization rate of enterprise invention patents was 48.1%, an increase of 1.3% over the previous year, and an increase of 3.1% over 2018." Ge Shu, director of the Strategic Planning Department of the State Intellectual Property Office, introduced.
According to reports, enterprises have gradually become the main body of innovation.
The industrialization rate of invention patents of large and medium-sized enterprises in my country has increased year-on-year.
In 2022, the industrialization rate of invention patents of domestic large and medium-sized enterprises will be 50.9% and 55.4% respectively.
Domestic leading enterprises have strong patent transfer and transformation capabilities, driving the continuous increase in the industrialization rate of invention patents in my country.
Relying on independent innovation and invention patents, many Chinese brands have emerged internationally.
"There is no shortcut for Chinese companies to accumulate independent research and development capabilities. Only by insisting on originality can we create truly viable products." Ding Lei, chairman of Human Horizons, who won the 2022 China Patent Award Design Gold Award, said that since 2018, Human Horizons has accumulative It has applied for 1,620 patents, nearly 50% of which are invention patents. It is also actively deploying overseas patents in Europe, the United States, Japan and other countries and regions. So far, it has applied for 200 international applications, laying a good foundation for the company's global development.
Patent Open Licensing Pilot Program Started Steadily and Operated Efficiently
Patents must be used in order to promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements and improve economic benefits.
According to Zhao Meisheng, deputy director of the Intellectual Property Utilization Promotion Department of the State Intellectual Property Office, by the end of November 2022, 18 provinces across the country have issued a pilot implementation plan for patent open licensing, and more than 500 colleges and universities and more than 600 companies have participated in the pilot. .
A total of 21,000 patent pilot open licenses with marketable prospects were screened in various regions, and artificial intelligence and other technologies were fully utilized to accurately match and push them to 61,000 small, medium and micro enterprises.
At present, more than 4,000 licensing projects have been completed, and the pilot project of patent open licensing has started smoothly and is running efficiently.
Zhao Meisheng introduced that patent open licensing is a new system created in the fourth revision of my country's Patent Law. It is a simple and fast "one-to-many" licensing method, which helps to promote the connection between supply and demand, improve negotiation efficiency, and reduce institutional transactions. The cost has been widely concerned by all parties. "In 2022, the State Intellectual Property Office, together with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other national ministries and commissions, will issue policies and measures to include open licensing of patents into the key tasks of the 'Thousands of Schools and Thousands of Enterprises' collaborative innovation partnership action." , to encourage and support the open licensing of patents by universities and institutes to small and medium-sized enterprises, and to work with the Ministry of Finance and the Development and Reform Commission to study and formulate a policy for reducing patent annual fees during the implementation of open licensing, so as to better encourage patentees to actively participate.”
According to the latest "2022 China Patent Survey Report" released by the State Intellectual Property Office, the open licensing system has been valued by patentees. The effective invention patent licensing rate in China is 12.1%, an increase of 1.7 percentage points from the previous year, and has continued to rise in the past five years.
According to the survey on patent open licensing, 48.3% of patentees are aware of the open licensing system, and 49.6% of patentees are willing to adopt the open licensing method, among which 90% are university patentees. Open licensing promotes patent transfer and transformation The role of the system is gradually emerging.
The number of green and low-carbon patent applications disclosed ranks first in the world
Green development is an inevitable requirement for building a modern economy with high-quality development, and it is also the direction of my country's economic transformation.
"In the past five years, China, the United States, Japan, Europe, and South Korea's intellectual property offices ranked the top five in terms of the number of green and low-carbon patent applications disclosed, accounting for 75.2% of the global total. Among them, China accounted for 379,000, accounting for 41.2% %, 104,000 in the United States, accounting for 11.3%.” Ge Shu introduced that the number of green and low-carbon patents granted in China has increased by an average of 6.5% annually in the past five years, and China has become an important driving force for global green and low-carbon technology innovation.
For example, China has achieved rapid growth in patents in the fields of hydrogen energy, energy storage and other technologies.
The State Intellectual Property Office has the fastest growth in the number of patents granted in the field of hydrogen energy, with an average annual growth rate of 20.5%, and has achieved an average annual growth rate of more than double digits in the fields of energy storage technology, power-saving technology, and fuel-saving technology.
Among them, China has contributed more than three-quarters to the growth of global hydrogen energy and power-saving technology patent authorizations.
Ge Shu said that the State Intellectual Property Office is actively exploring patent-based green and low-carbon innovation evaluation systems and methods, strengthening the protection of green and low-carbon patents, encouraging green and low-carbon technology innovation investment and industrialization, and helping my country to accelerate the green transformation of the development mode.
"In recent years, my country has continuously strengthened international cooperation in intellectual property protection. Statistics show that in 2021 alone, the number of invention patents granted to Chinese applicants after substantive examination in major countries and regions in the world has reached 46,000, a year-on-year increase of 14.1%. Positive development trend." Ge Shu said that intellectual property rights play a more important role in supporting my country's promotion of economic globalization and expanding opening up to the outside world, and have achieved remarkable results in promoting the green development of my country's economy.
