Ii. Professional and employment
In the age of popular entrepreneurship and mass innovation, our country has increasingly attached importance to intellectual property rights. As a direct result, since the promulgation of the national intellectual property strategy programme in 2008, the state council has adopted a series of policies, such as the opinions on accelerating the construction of intellectual property power in the new situation, issued by the state council in 2015, and the joint inter-ministerial meeting on the implementation of the state council's intellectual property strategy, reissued the plan for the further implementation of the national intellectual property strategy to accelerate the construction of intellectual property power. In response, the provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions of the country have adopted policies that meet local conditions. It is clear that the importance attached to intellectual property rights at the national and local levels has naturally given rise to a strong demand for intellectual property protection and intellectual property professional service providers, while undoubtedly placing high demands on the quality of intellectual property talent。
As can be seen from the extensive data reports on intellectual property abuse cases published by the supreme law, the number of intellectual property disputes continues to rise, and the combined effect of these factors is that the demand for intellectual property talent in the market is clearly rising and tends to increase。
In view of the strong market demand and the recent three years of employment of undergraduates in intellectual property, the employment of graduates in this specialty is characterized by “high employment rates, high job quality and high job satisfaction”. For example, about 15 per cent of graduates of the university of political science and law in china chose to pursue a master's degree in the country, about 20 per cent chose to go abroad for further studies, about 10 per cent entered the government and the judiciary, and about 55 per cent entered prominent law firms, intellectual property professional firms, businesses and banks. Among directly employed graduates, 75 per cent of the jobs and intellectual property professions are closely related, which is characterized by a high degree of employment orientation and professional relevance。
In general, higher levels of foreign language and a solid legal base are well received by employers, while graduates with a certain scientific or managerial background are favoured by the market。
