BEIJING, June 28 (Xinhua) — The number of valid invention patents in China has reached 4.97 million by May this year, demonstrating the vibrant creativity of Chinese innovators and laying the foundation for cultivating and developing new productive forces, the National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) said at a press conference on Friday.
China is currently in the process of transition from a major importer of intellectual property to a leading global creator of it, Guo Wen, an official representative of the State Intellectual Property Institution, said at a press conference, adding that the State Intellectual Property Institution, based on meeting the actual needs of domestic innovative entities, is making efforts to improve the quality of services in this area, in particular by updating the evaluation standards for patent applications, improving their quality and the efficiency of their examination, and optimizing the on-demand examination mechanism.
“From January to May of this year, the State Administration for Intellectual Property Review reviewed 84,000 and 116,000 patent applications in priority and accelerated order, respectively, while postponing the review of 9,300 patent applications,” Guo Wen said, adding that 13 batches of patent applications were also reviewed in a centralized manner.
“As a result, a number of high-value patents have been issued that can strengthen the core competitiveness of industrial sectors, guarantee national industrial security, and promote the transformation and modernization of industrial sectors,” she emphasized.
To further improve the quality of patents, the State Intellectual Property Office will improve the mechanism of accelerated coordinated protection and increase the level of targeting in providing assistance. The State Intellectual Property Office has 77 centers for the prompt protection of intellectual property rights at the national level, where services are provided on a “single window” basis. -0-
