Today, my country has become a truly patented country. The data show that our patent applications for inventions have been among the highest in the world for five years, with more than 1 million patents for effective inventions in the country. How these patented resources can be harnessed so that they can produce better economic benefits is both the key to accelerating progress from technological to industrial and economic strength and the central issue of the development of our intellectual property rights。
In this process, intellectual property services play an important role. Intellectual property services protect innovation outcomes and safeguard the legitimate interests of innovation subjects by providing services to innovative enterprises, including the creation, use, protection and management of intellectual property rights. Through cooperation with professional intellectual property services, enterprises can gain full access to intellectual property information in relevant areas and develop sound intellectual property strategies. Therefore, professionalization of intellectual property services is an important factor influencing the success or failure of an enterprise's intellectual property strategy。
In recent years, with the rise in awareness of intellectual property rights in the country, our intellectual property services have grown rapidly and the number of intellectual property services has grown, while at the same time there have been achievements in filling the existing gaps in the country and, to a certain extent, in keeping with the development of our intellectual property rights. However, intellectual property service providers are also faced with a large, small and small number of them, and there is an urgent need to shift from quantitative to qualitative advantages. In addition, there is a problem of inadequate supply and demand access to our intellectual property services. On the one hand, the increasing demand for intellectual property services by innovation agents has been hampered by difficulties in finding specialized, high-quality and trusted services, and on the other hand, the difficulties faced by intellectual property services institutions in finding and developing customers are narrow, costly and inefficient. This calls for synergy between the supply and demand sides of intellectual property services, on the one hand, by upgrading the professionalism of intellectual property service providers and, on the other hand, by reaching the “last kilometre” of intellectual property service interfaces with innovation subjects through the government's orientation。
Currently, the national intellectual property agency has been working on the development of intellectual property services brands, with a view to developing a specialized and international intellectual property services brand, drawing on the development experience of brand agencies and providing effective support and protection for the development of intellectual property rights by market and innovation agents. Branding institutions throughout the country provide specialized services to innovation agents, with good economic and social benefits. Pre- and post-breeding data show an average increase of 53 per cent in the number of professionals in brand-based institutions, 90 per cent in the number of clients and 68 per cent in business income, with key indicators well above the industry-wide average。
In the innovative application of enterprises, iprs can be both a vehicle for innovation and a knife to unfair competition by enterprises. In this process, some intellectual property services are profitable and involved in intellectual property abuse and unfair competition by enterprises, which require greater government regulation, greater self-regulation by intellectual property services, a good business culture and a positive direction for service enterprises to move our intellectual property rights into a virtuous development path。
