The region's ownership of patents for high-value inventions rose from 0. 9 at the end of the “1335” period to more than 2. 8, a more than twofold increase; the number of valid trademarks registered reached 450,000, an increase of more than 80 per cent; and the number of trademarks with geographical indications and protected products was 286. In recent days, journalists have been informed by the market supervision authority of the autonomous region of inner mongolia (the intellectual property authority) that during the “1455” period, the integrated promotion of intellectual property creation, use, protection, management and services in the country has yielded fruitful results。
“we are deeply following up on the state council's opinions on promoting high quality development in inner mongolia and strengthing for a new chapter of china's modernisation, and integrating intellectual property into the `five strategic positioning' and mission tasks.

Focus on specialty industries
The dairy industry is the backbone of the country. From yield-based resources to market-oriented products, the elysian group has been conducting patented excavations of core strains at different stages of the project, building a cluster of high-value patented networks for the fungi; and, at the same time, extending innovation to the industrial chain through “patent licensing + technology output”, bringing about the industrialization of yield-based patent-based technologies and promoting the high-quality development of the breeding-basin industry。
To date, the country has the highest number of patents for effective inventions in the inner mongolia dairy industry, as evidenced by the impact of intellectual property work on local niche industries. In recent years, the autonomous region of inner mongolia has focused on its development strategy, strengthening the chain of intellectual property creation, application, protection, management, services and supporting the development of niche industries and new quality productivity。
In the context of innovation in key core technical areas of efficient services, the country has integrated patent pre-trial services into the national strategy and industrial innovation line, providing patent pre-trial services to 2202 innovation subjects and nearly 14,000 patent applications across the region in the biological and new materials industries, significantly reducing the average licensing cycle for inventions; and operating the “strategy of the centre for protection of intellectual property rights in the autonomous region of inner mongolia”, bringing together 17 operational systems to achieve “one-stop shop”, allowing enterprises to run less and better。
With regard to the construction of an intellectual property rights operating system, mongolia has built up over 50 patent-based industrial operations centres around key industries such as new energy sources, storage, rare earth, grass and dairy industries. More than 100 projects have been carried out to jointly attack “chip” technologies. They have helped the chain enterprises to secure more than 4 billion yuan in intellectual property pledge financing. They have produced more than 1,600 domestic patents, 16 pct international applications, more than 3,500 domestic trademarks and 148 overseas trademarks, which have truly translated innovation into industrial benefits。
With a view to exploring new routes for transregional patent conversion, mongolia has carried out transregional patent conversion activities, completing 21 contracts for patent technology transfer, research and research cooperation, and patent pledge financing, amounting to $390 million. The patent implementation rate in the rare earth sector reached 60 per cent, yielding cumulative benefits of approximately $5 billion. In mongolia, local rare-earth resource advantages are transformed into real development advantages through intellectual property rights。
With geographical markers contributing to the development of twitter, the country has been approved for the establishment of the five sunflower national geographical sign protection model zone, which promotes an industry-wide chain with an annual value of $6. 2 billion; the wuchuan potato geographical mark has been used to promote local identity products with a reputation and a good price. Inner mongolia, the development of the country's first " guide to the improvement of the protection capacity of geographical signs " local standards, with 85 per cent coverage of geographical markers, has led to increased revenue generation and industrial efficiency。
Multi-dimensional protection. Optimizing business environment
In recent years, while promoting the upgrading of traditional industries, her country had continued to nurture new and emerging industries, and intellectual property protection had been integrated into all aspects of local economic development. Inner mongolia, the plan for the promotion of construction and protection of intellectual property regimes, 2026-2027, promotes multi-dimensional intellectual property protection。
At the level of administrative protection, the system of intellectual property rights in the country actively promotes administrative decision-making on patent infringement disputes in the autonomous region, strengthening the effectiveness of follow-up on decisions or mediation decisions and improving the role of administrative decision-making; participating in cross-regional collaboration to build a pool of shared technical investigatory offices and develop accreditation bodies; strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights in foreign countries, helping enterprises to deploy overseas and preventing risks abroad; promoting coordination between 53 sub-centres of defence assistance and 24 people's mediation organizations; strengthening the supervision of patent agencies to centralize violations of the law; implementing the whole chain of district geographical signs, developing revised standards and building provincial inspection and inspection centres. At the same time, the country promotes the conversion of geographical signs, regulation and cross-regional defence of rights; the construction of model zones for the protection of geographical signs in the state and autonomous regions; and the in-depth implementation of geomarking protection projects, which are linked to the path of non-inclusion of geographical indications and contribute to the development of niche industries and the revitalization of dynamic villages。
At the level of judicial protection, the internal courts of mongolia have strengthened the core technical protection in the areas of new energy, bioculture, and have increased the application of punitive damages in accordance with the law, making perpetrators of malicious violations pay. In 2024, the supreme people's court approved the establishment of the khoo-hot intellectual property tribunal, which will focus on first-instance civil and administrative cases in the technical category throughout the region. The inner mongolia prosecution service fully performs its supervisory functions, enhancing the examination of evidence, accurately identifying facts, strictly applying the law, providing accurate services to innovative subjects and handling each case with high quality. At present, 104 prosecution offices across the region have a strong institutional guarantee for the prosecution of intellectual property.
