Beijing, March 3 (Zhongxin Net) -- Heng Fuguang, spokesman and director of the office of the State Intellectual Property Office, said on the 31st that the State Intellectual Property Office has established an expert advisory committee on the construction of an intellectual property power to strengthen the construction of intellectual property expert think tanks.

The regular press conference of the State Intellectual Property Office in March was held in Beijing in the afternoon of the same day, focusing on the intellectual property culture, focusing on the results of the training of intellectual property talents and the construction of think tanks.

Hengfuguang said that intellectual property culture is an organic part of socialist culture with Chinese characteristics and an important guarantee for the effective implementation of the intellectual property system. In 2022, the IP system will deeply cultivate the construction of IP culture and continuously lay a strong cultural foundation for building an IP powerhouse. It mainly carries out five aspects of work, such as highlighting political guidance, serving innovative development, doing a good job in cultural cultivation, strengthening talent training, and telling Chinese stories well.

Among them, in terms of strengthening talent training, we have successfully promoted the establishment of a new master's degree category in intellectual property in the Catalogue of Postgraduate Education Disciplines (2022). Tongji University was approved as the first interdisciplinary doctoral program in intellectual property. SIPO established an expert advisory committee on the construction of an intellectual property power to strengthen the construction of intellectual property expert think tanks. The intellectual property training matrix has taken initial shape, and 8 new sub-stations of the intellectual property distance education platform were opened during the year, and the account of the China intellectual property training network social platform was opened, so as to strengthen the construction of intellectual property talents in multiple dimensions.

Cao Hongying, first-level inspector of the Personnel Department of the State Intellectual Property Office, said in response to questions from the media that as an important decision-making and consulting institution in the field of intellectual property, intellectual property think tanks play an important role in the formulation, interpretation and evaluation of intellectual property policies, intellectual property legal system and international cooperation research, and intellectual property personnel training. SIPO attaches great importance to the construction of intellectual property think tanks and steadily advances relevant work.

In recent years, SIPO has gradually built an intellectual property think tank system led by the National Intellectual Property Expert Advisory Committee, supported by the Intellectual Property Development Research Center and the China Intellectual Property Research Association, with the participation of various intellectual property research institutions, bringing together experts from the national economy, science and technology, education, culture and intellectual property fields to provide suggestions for the high-quality development of intellectual property. In 2010, the first National Intellectual Property Expert Advisory Committee was established. At present, it has developed into the fourth term, the working mechanism has been continuously improved, the structure of the committee has been continuously optimized, the full coverage of intellectual property fields such as patents, trademarks and geographical indications has been achieved, and experts in national key industries such as aerospace, as well as new technologies and new formats such as digital economy, the Internet, and artificial intelligence have been added.

According to statistics, since the establishment of the fourth expert advisory committee in 2020, members have participated in more than 180 related work of the State Intellectual Property Office, involving nearly 700 members. By participating in the preparation of important documents and policy interpretations in the field of intellectual property, carrying out research on major topics and evaluating major projects, strengthening public opinion publicity, and participating in personnel training and training, the committee members continued to play the role of "external brains" of intellectual property experts, making outstanding contributions to promoting the improvement of intellectual property governance capabilities and governance levels, and accelerating the construction of an intellectual property power.

Cao Hongying said that in the next step, the State Intellectual Property Office will improve the institutional mechanism of intellectual property think tanks, improve the intellectual property think tank system, give full play to the role of the National Intellectual Property Expert Advisory Committee, and provide more powerful intellectual support for the construction of an intellectual property power.
