20-26 april is the national intellectual property awareness week. In recent days, my province published the white paper on the development and protection of intellectual property in jiangsu province 2023, which shows that in 2023, the number of patents on the inventions of jiangsuwan amounted to 62. 15, maintaining the country's number one in eight consecutive years, and that the number of patents on high-value inventions per 10,000 people amounted to 23. 24, about twice the number of patents per country. The increase in the quantity of patent results has helped me to build the technological base for industrial development and “enrichment” to accelerate the creation of new qualitative productivity。
Fostering high-value patents to secure future industries root
After many years of research and research, the team of professor tan hae-in of nanjing university developed a complete portfolio of high-value patents — a technological chain of superstition solar cells with fully autonomous intellectual property rights — and has now established a company in suzhou for patent conversion. The team member and associate researcher at the institute of modern engineering and applied sciences, nanjing university, lin in-hing, introduced the school, which actively supported team-building platforms for early technological incubation, setting up a special fund for technological sophistication to improve the maturity of scientific and technological achievements and shorten the process of industrialization。
“we have taken the initiative to connect and serve the team of professor tam, to introduce third-party services, to assist in refining the project's intellectual property layout and industrialization and to build a solid, autonomous intellectual property protection wall.” the deputy director of the office for innovative entrepreneurship and result transformation at nanjing university, zhan kaiwei, has been active in guiding and promoting further collaboration between schools and enterprises through secondary development and mid-scripting, providing strong support for the industrialization of projects。
In 2023, i was able to organize 85 major science and technology conversion projects and apply for over 1,000 invention patents around such areas as integrated circuits, biomedicine, new materials and high-end equipment. Support has been provided to 14 or more provincial innovation centres to continuously upgrade their resource pooling capacity, accelerate the industrialization and commercialization of scientific and technological results, and to a cumulative total of 1,282 licensed patents, of which 854 are invention patents, and accelerate the formation of technologies and products to fill the country's gaps, such as the crystal circle fan out。
“high-value patents represent excellent patents. Fostering the transformation of high-value patents is both a realistic need to raise the quality of intellectual property creation, achieve technological self-reliance and a necessary requirement to accelerate the generation of new quality productivity and promote high-quality development.” in 2023, the deputy director of the provincial intellectual property authority, zhao zhao, focused on the “1650” industrial system, building 16 new provincial high-value patent incubators, with a cumulative total of 115, leading to 628 city and county incubators, and running 7 patent navigation service bases at the national level, 10 at the provincial level and 33 at the municipal level, with comprehensive coverage of advanced manufacturing clusters。
Generating integration, moving results from “neighborhood” to markets
In order to boost the market for innovation in institutions of higher education that are still “deep” schools, in recent years we have continued to pilot open patent licences in our province; organized the patent (outcome) auction season, the "100th school" high-value patent development conversion initiative; and supported universities in establishing intellectual property operations centres, information service centres, etc., to enhance the output and transfer of intellectual property outcomes. In 2023, our province issued cumulatively 1,649 open licences for patents, and 2,148 patent technologies were opened for over $19 million; and 7 patent (outcome) auction seasons were held, with 350 transactions being concluded each year, amounting to $154 million。
“we have worked in depth with a number of industrial parks throughout the country to support the industrialization of school patents by building a technology-to-industry matching mechanism through data tracking using our own large intellectual property data platform.” professor tang chun, school of intellectual property, jiangsu university, explained that the institute of intellectual property services (iprs), which was founded by the school, had taken the lead in the division of patents, pre-opposal evaluation, patent opening licences, high-value patent development projects, the establishment of the commissioner of patent services for priority research teams, the strengthening of productive and integrated development, and the use of market-based operating models to promote the application of patent technology in local industries。
After years of deep farming, the team of professor xu lihang of the school's agricultural equipment engineering institute developed key joint harvesting techniques and equipment adapted to the country's high-yielding rice harvest, forming a patented layout around eight core products, of which the core patent “axes-to-axe integrated rice detachment device” received the chinese patent gold award. “our series of patents have been applied under general licensing in several tracked joint harvester taps, selling more than 80,000 products in the last three years and exporting them to more than 10 countries, such as thailand and iran, with significant economic benefits.”。
It is understood that a patent inventory of the stock of institutions of higher education is being carried out in my province. As at 10 april, a total of 11,120 patent counts had been completed for the stock of higher education institutions in the province, at a rate of 69. 43 per cent; 76 out of 146 institutions of higher education in the province had essentially completed the task of patenting the stock of schools, and the number of institutions of higher education in the stock of higher education had steadily increased. • increase patent quality from the source through “marginal stock-taking, extension, conversion” with better increments from both active stocks and active order development and placement innovations。
Focus on priority industries to build high-quality transformation platforms
As a strategic resource, intellectual property rights (iprs) are a key element in promoting high-quality industrial development in the region. Track traffic is one of the specialty industries in changzhou, with 100-year-old factories and leading enterprises, such as the china-china villa company and the china-china consulate, which gather over 200 orbital transport support enterprises. The business centre for orbital transport equipment industries (hereinafter referred to as the “operation centre”) in the changzhou economic development zone actively explores the creation of an efficient and accessible patent conversion operating environment for the entire industry。
"these are the original chinese standard motor group model of the renaissance, the black module of the high-altitude steel transmission system of the cr400bf platform developed by our company." in mid-april, the director of the intellectual property department, lee lou ming, informed journalists about a series of product models at the institute of mechanical vehicle crafts in china's villa, that the company had developed an intellectual property layout and had authorized over 80 patents, of which nine were overseas. The operations centres help companies to further improve their intellectual property systems, promote centres of excellence for high-value patent development and national and provincial innovation platforms, laying the foundations for technological innovation and upgrading core industrial competitiveness. During this period, the company's orbital traffic gear transfer system generated nearly $3 billion in sales revenue。
“we have created a high-quality team of intellectual property agents to deepen the actual technical cooperation needs of enterprises and create a demand bank for enterprise patent technology; in parallel, we have established links with 11 local higher education institutes, such as changzhou university, to build a patent pool for the conversion of higher education patents to operate patents, to form a patent technology supply bank, to match intellectual property supply and demand information precisely through the changzhou advanced manufacturing intellectual property trading platform, and to introduce high-quality service providers to provide individualized services for both supply and demand.” the head of the operations centre, wu xin, described the professionalization and systematization of the operations centre as a better solution to the practical challenges of the asymmetry between university patents and business demand information, lack of standardized trading models and processes, and lack of complex patent conversion services。
To help build a modern industrial system, in february this year, the provincial government office issued a special action implementation programme for the conversion of patents from jiangsu province, focusing on the modernization of our province's “1650” industrial system, proposing initiatives to foster and expand patent-intensive enterprises and industries, and building centres for the operation of intellectual property in priority industries. With regard to key industries, such as integrated circuits, we have now built 15 industrial intellectual property operations centres in the province, which aim to bridge the “source innovation - technology development - transformation of results - industrial convergence” chain, creating a high-quality portfolio of patents that will facilitate the transformation of jiangsu’s intellectual property advantages into industrial competitive advantages。
