According to the press spokesman and deputy director of the national intellectual property agency, rae wenzheng, the “fifty-five” plan for the protection and use of intellectual property rights, to be published in the near future, will focus on five aspects of intellectual property rights during the “fifty-five” period, focusing on the national development agenda, on the development of new dynamics, on high-quality development orientation, on responding to technological innovation needs and on regional coordination for development。
There are 574,000 companies with patents on effective inventions in the country
Since this year, the quality of the creation of intellectual property rights in our country has steadily increased and the “fifty-five” has made a smooth start and a good start. In the first half of the year, 453,000 invention patents were authorized, 2,055,000 registered trademarks were approved and 5061 integrated circuit map designs were registered and issued. As of the end of june, there were 2. 36 million patents for high-value inventions and 16. 8 patents for high-value inventions per 10,000 people. The new generation of information technology fields such as artificial intelligence, the internet, cloud computing and big data account for 16. 5 per cent of the total number of patents for effective inventions。
In the area of enterprise innovation, the number of enterprises with patents for effective inventions in the country has reached 574,000, and the number of patents for effective inventions has reached 425,000, or 74. 8 per cent of the total, an increase of 0. 3 percentage points over the end of the previous year, which has further strengthened the position of the main source of enterprise innovation. At the same time, there has been a growing awareness of brand protection, with one valid registered trademark for every four operators。

My country is actively using intellectual property to shape new international competitive advantages. In the first half of this year, our applicants for international patent applications for pcts, international applications for the design of the hague system and applications for international registration of the madrid trademarks were among the world's highest. In the previous may, our exports of intellectual property user fees had amounted to $45. 5 billion, a significant 64. 9 per cent increase over the same period, driving trade in services towards new preferences。
More than 70% of strategic emerging industries patented for high-value inventions
The “fifty-five” programme includes “proprietary ownership of high-value inventions per 10,000 people” among the main indicators of economic and social development. “the inclusion of patents on inventions of strategic and emerging industries, on inventions with patent rights abroad, on inventions with a duration exceeding 10 years, on inventions with a national prize in science and technology or a chinese patent, into the statistical scope of high-value inventions.” the new introduction by liang, director of the strategic planning department of the national intellectual property agency, “in the `155' period, the target of patenting high-value inventions per 10,000 people was set at > 22, an increase of more than 6 over the end of `145', which fully reflects confidence in the growing capacity for innovation and the performance of innovation.”
New industries and future industries are new engines of economic growth during the “155” period. By the end of june this year, the number of patents in strategic and emerging industries in the country had reached 1. 74 million, an increase of 4. 3 per cent over the previous year. Currently, over 70 per cent of patents for high-value inventions are in strategic and emerging industries, and a further increase is expected during the “155” period。

A total of 83 national intellectual property protection centres and 54 fast-track centres have been set up throughout the country to provide comprehensive “one-stop” intellectual property protection services such as rapid pre-trial, fast-tracking and fast-tracking. “in terms of the service industry, the central protection industry has covered all strategic and emerging industries, while expanding to future industries, and where innovation has taken place, intellectual property protection has followed suit, efficiently supporting autonomous innovation in key core technologies. “a presentation by guo quan, press speaker and director of the department of intellectual property protection, national intellectual property agency。
Quality and efficient review services for various innovation constituencies
Patent trademark review is an important link in the intellectual property work chain. During the “1455” period, the average examination cycle for inventions in our country was reduced to 15 months, and the average review cycle for trademark registrations was stabilized at 4 months, reaching the highest international rate under the same system, providing quality and efficient review services to various subjects of innovation。
Liu yi, director of the division of law and regulations of the national intellectual property authority, said that, in the context of the innovation of the patent and trademark review model, greater needs-based reviews would be implemented to meet the demand for diversity of innovation subjects, using a combination of priority reviews, rapid reviews and delayed reviews. In terms of quality enhancement, patent review authorization should be tightened, creative scrutiny strengthened and the stability of the rights granted continuously increased。

In recent years, the intellectual property sector has continued to advance the innovation of review models, improving the quality and efficiency of intellectual property reviews and effectively adapting to the dynamic, efficient and iterative nature of emerging areas. With regard to the exploration of data intellectual property protection practices, the relevant data intellectual property registration certificates have been successfully applied in judicial decisions, asset listings, etc., resulting in a cumulative increase of nearly $16 billion in financing letters and over $2 billion in trade licences and securitization。
Rae wenzheng stated that a more effective model of delegation of authority from the intellectual property rights perspective for development in new and emerging areas, a clearer definition of attribution, scope of protection and forms of protection, a smoother system of coordinated protection and a mechanism to respond to abuse, would establish the foundations of an intellectual property regime to foster new and qualitative productivity, promote the high-quality development of new and future industries。
Rae wenzheng explained that it would then anchor the strategic objectives set out in the building of the intellectual property power framework (2021-2035) and work on intellectual property rights for the “fifty-five” period in accordance with the timetable, mission letters and construction plans set out in the “fifty-five” plan. Ensuring that by 2030 our combined intellectual property rights (ipr) capabilities and international competitiveness will be further enhanced, intellectual property protection will be stronger, market values will be more visible, public services will be better quality, integrated management systems will be more efficient, international cooperation will be deeper, and decisive progress will be made in building a strong intellectual property state。
