Kim autumn festival, a global focus on beijing. On 20 october, the 18th plenum of the communist party of china opened. “state governed by the rule of law”, with its distinct epoch of the times, carved for the first time on the historical coordinates of the party's central plenary. The convening of the eighteenth plenary session opened a new page on “comprehensive promotion of a state governed by the rule of law” and led intellectual property practitioners and society as a whole to take new steps towards building a strong intellectual property state。
The 18th congress of the party proposed a major theme, “strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights”, while the 18th plenum further proposed “strengthening the application and protection of intellectual property rights” guidelines, raising intellectual property rights to a new strategic level. In recent years, the level of transformation of the use of intellectual property rights in our country has been increasing, social satisfaction with intellectual property protection has continued to rise and the development of intellectual property rights has taken a new step forward。
Effectively applied
The effective application of intellectual property rights, the promotion of their integration with economic and social development and the realization of the market value of intellectual property rights have been important components of our intellectual property strategy. Since the 18th congress of the party, and especially since the 18th plenum, a successful case of conversion of the use of intellectual property rights has continued throughout the country. It can be said that the strong underpinning of the application of our intellectual property rights is behind the growing volume, quality and rational structure of our economic development。
“exploiting the navigational role of intellectual property rights (iprs) for strategic and emerging industries requires a significant improvement in their quality and efficiency of application, as well as a strong development of iprs-intensive industries. “the officer-in-charge of the national intellectual property agency (inip) explained that in recent years there has been a proliferation of patent creation in the country, but there are still bottlenecks in patent use. To this end, in recent years the national intellectual property agency has launched a pilot patent navigation project, focusing on patent navigation, strengthening patent utilization capabilities and facilitating industrial development。
Since 2013, the national intellectual property administration has identified eight industrial clusters in beijing, such as the china-kang village science and technology park, as pilot zones for the development of the national patent navigation industry, five industry associations, such as the china electronic materials industry association and the wuhan institute of post and telecommunications sciences (the consortium), as pilot national patent enterprises. Over the past year, a number of developments have taken place in the pilot areas of patent navigation industry development in these countries, pilot national patent synergetic application units and pilot national patent operation enterprises in patent navigation pilot projects。
“the patent navigation pilot project is an important initiative for implementing innovative-driven development strategies. In accordance with the relevant working arrangements, the national intellectual property agency seeks to use about five years to develop an effective model for the development of the patent navigation industry. At the same time, expediting the implementation of the pilot patent navigation project is of great relevance in order to enhance our country's capacity for autonomous innovation, to advance our transition from a major intellectual property power to a powerful intellectual property power and to drive the economy towards innovation-driven development. According to the relevant head of the national intellectual property agency。
At the same time, intellectual property pledge financing is increasingly recognized by regions, sectors, financial institutions and enterprises, increasingly reflecting the market value of intellectual property. In 2013, the national patent pledge financing amounted to $25. 4 billion, an increase of 79. 46 per cent over the same period; in the first half of 2014, the national patent pledge financing exceeded $23. 5 billion, an increase of 124 per cent over the same period. In addition, as of the first half of the year, patent enforcement insurance had been operationalized in 34 municipalities throughout the country, providing cumulative insurance against patent enforcement risks of $9. 05 million and providing risk security and insurance services for 2496 patents in 744 enterprises。
In 2013, there were 530 enterprises in the country that insured 1855 patents, with a guaranteed amount of $6,438 million. Behind the growth is the rapid development of financial services for intellectual property。
This policy, which has benefited a large number of enterprises, has been strongly promoted by various sectors since the first national list of pilot intellectual property pledge financing units was published in 2008. The pilot led to the first time in 2012 that the value of our intellectual property pledge financing exceeded rmb 10 billion to rmb 14. 1 billion. To further advance intellectual property pledge financing, in 2013 the national intellectual property agency (inip) issued a directive for commercial banks on mortgage lending in intellectual property. Practical intellectual property pledge financing policies have been developed in line with local practice。
The growing use of intellectual property rights (iprs) paints a good prospect of deeper integration of iprs with economic and social development. A series of examples show that improvements in the system of application of intellectual property rights, represented by pilot patent navigation projects and intellectual property financial services, will make a significant contribution to the development of innovation in enterprises, thus leading to the economic and social development of the region and the building of innovative states。
Protect by law, lay the foundations of the system
Since the 18th congress of the party, and especially since the 18th general plenary, the pace of further reforms has been accompanied by continued progress in the development of a system of laws and regulations governing intellectual property rights in the country, in particular the role of patent administration enforcement, as well as new developments in the protection of intellectual property rights in the country and the role of escort for the implementation of innovative-driven development strategies。
Under the right leadership of the party centre and the state council, the country's intellectual property laws and regulations are being improved, creating a favourable social climate and a legal environment for scientific, technological and economic development. In recent years, the national intellectual property authority has initiated a new round of amendments to patent law, which has been submitted to the state council in a revised version of the law on patents (for submission); has completed the draft regulations on job inventions (for submission); has amended the draft regulations on patent agents; has carried out post-legislative assessments such as the certain provisions regulating the conduct of patent applications; and has amended regulations such as the measures on the administration of patents。
With regard to intellectual property protection policies, the national intellectual property strategy framework has been in operation for more than six years with notable results. In april 2014, the national intellectual property agency issued a circular on specific matters of disclosure of information on patent administrative enforcement cases, which strongly advances the implementation of patent administrative enforcement. At the same time, the national intellectual property agency has largely established a national network of “12330” intellectual property rights assistance and reporting complaints and advocacy assistance covering the whole country。
With regard to intellectual property protection practices, the “two paths, two parallel operations” model of intellectual property protection, which is unique to china, has produced new results in practice. The establishment of intellectual property courts in beijing, shanghai and guangzhou was endorsed by the standing committee of the national people's congress, and the role of intellectual property administration in protecting it is increasingly evident. After years of effort and practice, we have made great strides in patent administration enforcement. In recent years, the national intellectual property agency has been actively organizing the national intellectual property system, through its activities of centralized inspection, management and case management, and has continuously stepped up law enforcement efforts. There has been heavy fighting, special administrative enforcement has been carried out in large shops and fairs, vigorous efforts have been made to combat patent infringement and fraud in areas such as livelihood, major projects, rapid filing of patent disputes, active defence of legitimate rights and interests of rights holders, market subjects and innovative subjects, and patent administration has played an important role in creating a fair and orderly market environment. In 2013, the total number of patent management system enforcement cases nationwide stood at 162. 27 million, an increase of 79. 8 per cent over the same period, including 5056 patent disputes, an increase of 101. 4 per cent over the same period. During the same period, the increase in the number of civil first-instance cases of new intellectual property rights in local courts nationwide fell from 45. 99 per cent in the previous year to 1. 33 per cent; the number of administrative and criminal first-instance cases of new intellectual property rights decreased from 20. 35 per cent in the previous year to 1. 43 per cent and 28 per cent, respectively。
Increased protection of intellectual property rights (iprs), the foundation for the development of intellectual property rights (iprs), the creation of a sound social environment for autonomous innovation, and strong support for the implementation of innovation-driven development strategies. On that basis, there have been welcome changes in the entire field of intellectual property rights, such as patents, trademarks, copyrights, geographical indications, trade secrets, new varieties of plants, etc., and a dynamic and dynamic process that has embarked on a new journey to build a strong intellectual property power. “the continuous development, improvement and development of a system of intellectual property protection that is unique to china, and the establishment of an institutional foundation for a strong intellectual property power, as well as the role of escort, are essential to strengthen intellectual property protection.” this was highlighted by li sun-de, director of the faculty of law and intellectual property of the chinese academy of sciences。
The seeds for strengthening the application and protection of intellectual property rights have taken root in the minds of innovators, the social basis for the application and protection of intellectual property rights is gradually being firmly established, and the effects of their application and protection are gradually becoming more visible and increasingly supporting economic and social development. The convening of the 18th plenum of the party as a new starting point for further strengthening the use and protection of intellectual property rights on the path to building a strong intellectual property power will certainly open up a brighter prospect for achieving the chinese dream of a great revival of the chinese nation.
