In 2023, China's intellectual property field has witnessed continuous major events and good deeds, with steady and progressive development and improved quality. Significant gains have been made, presenting a new atmosphere. The year 2023, which has just passed, is an extraordinary year for China's intellectual property industry. This year, a new round of reform of intellectual property institutions was launched, and the China National Intellectual Property Administration was adjusted to an institution directly under the State Council, which shortened the management chain vertically, strengthened the coordination and linkage horizontally, and improved the management efficiency as a whole. The intellectual property management system has achieved significant optimization and adjustment. This year, "intellectual property" became a high-frequency term in top-level design, and the central government reviewed and issued multiple important documents in the field of intellectual property. The General Office of the State Council has issued the Reform Plan for the Division of Financial Powers and Expenditure Responsibilities between the Central and Local Governments in the Field of Intellectual Property Rights; The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council have approved the establishment of an inter ministerial joint conference system for the construction of a strong intellectual property country; The Executive Meeting of the State Council reviewed and approved the Special Action Plan for Patent Transformation and Application (2023-2025) and the Implementation Rules of the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China (Revised Draft). Focusing on the theme of "deepening the implementation of the strategy of building a strong intellectual property country and effectively supporting innovation driven development", the fourth special study of the State Council was held, and a set of "combination punches" in the field of intellectual property was developed. This year marks the 50th anniversary of China's cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization. Looking back on the past 50 years, China has attached great importance to intellectual property protection, deeply implemented the construction of a strong intellectual property country, and always firmly maintained the multilateral system of international intellectual property. Its cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization has continuously expanded and deepened, achieving fruitful results. "The progress of the past 50 years is the latest chapter in China's more than 5000 years of innovation history," commented Deng Hongsen, Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization. Shen Changyu, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, said at the 2024 National Intellectual Property Office Directors' Meeting held recently that in 2023, China's intellectual property field will continue to have great events and good deeds, and the cause will develop steadily and improve quality, which will bring about a great harvest and a new atmosphere. China's position as a major intellectual property country has been firmly established. "China is not only a member of the global intellectual property family, but also an important contributor to global intellectual property work, and has successfully transformed into one of the world's leading centers of innovation, creativity, and technology." This is the evaluation given to China by Deng Hongsen. The main indicator statistics for 2023 provide strong evidence for this statement. According to the data recently released by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, 921000 invention patents, 2.09 million utility models, 638000 appearance designs, 4.383 million registered trademarks and 11300 integrated circuit layout designs were authorized in 2023. 13 geographical indication products have been recognized, 5842 business entities authorized to use geographical indication special indications have been approved, and 201 collective trademarks and certification trademarks have been approved to be registered with geographical indications. 73812, 1166 (from the first 11 months of 2023), and 6196 international registration applications for patents, designs, and trademarks were submitted through the PCT, Hague, and Madrid systems, respectively, ranking among the top in the world.
