The significant increase in the number of patent licences not only highlights the continuing leap in the technological innovation capacity of commercial cars in the east, but also marks an important leap from quantity to quality in their patent layout. In recent years, the east wind commercial vehicle has been firmly committed to national innovation-driven development strategies, sustained scaling-up of r & d inputs, systematic layout around key core technology areas such as commercial motorization, smart grids, new energy power-driven, and deep integration of intellectual property rights into the r & d full value chain, providing solid support for continuous product upgrading and technological breakthroughs. In 2025, the east wind commercial car was successfully selected for the creation of a “model enterprise for the construction of a state intellectual property power”。
It is known that the “national intellectual property power building model creation” exercise is an important project of the national intellectual property authority to accelerate the development of a model for intellectual property power building, which was deployed to follow up on the decision of the national intellectual property authority building framework (2021-2035). The selection further highlighted the leading industry power of the east wind commercial car in core technological innovation and high-value patenting。
As of 2025, a cumulative number of 7735 east wind commercial vehicles had applied for patents and 3,600 valid patents had been authorized, of which 1927 had been effectively invented and a robust core technology moat continued to be built. Looking to the future, building on the growing accumulation of technology and intellectual property rights, the east wind commercial car will continue to contribute “to the east wind force” to transform innovation into visible and useful value for users, leading china’s automobile industry to become stronger in its new journey to build a strong automobile。
