Innovation is the primary driving force for development, and protecting intellectual property is protecting innovation. At this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, several representatives and members put forward suggestions on the protection and transformation of intellectual property rights. The protection mechanism has been continuously improved. In the past year, China's intellectual property industry has achieved remarkable results and has been recognized by the representatives and members. According to the statistics of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, 921000 invention patents, 2.090 million utility model patents, 638000 appearance design patents, 4.383 million registered trademarks and 11300 integrated circuit layout designs will be authorized in 2023. Through the PCT, The Hague, and Madrid systems, China has submitted 7381200 patent, design, and trademark international registration applications, 1166 (in the first 11 months), and 6196, respectively, ranking among the top in the world... Over the past year, China's intellectual property field has seen continuous and positive events. The central government has promoted a new round of intellectual property institution reform, and the intellectual property management system has achieved significant optimization and adjustment. The central government has reviewed and issued multiple important documents in the field of intellectual property, and the top-level design of intellectual property has been further improved. Promote the completion of the revision of the implementation rules of the Patent Law, include the revision of the Trademark Law in the legislative plan of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, conduct research on the revision of the Regulations on the Protection of Integrated Circuit Layout Design, and complete the formulation of the Measures for the Protection of Geographical Indication Products and the Regulations on the Registration and Management of Collective and Certification Trademarks. Significant progress has been made in intellectual property legislation, and the legal protection of intellectual property has been effectively strengthened. Collaborative protection of intellectual property rights has reached a new level. In February 2023, the Supreme People's Court and the China National Intellectual Property Administration jointly issued the Opinions on Strengthening the Collaborative Protection of Intellectual Property, improved 13 specific measures to link the administrative protection and judicial protection of intellectual property, and promoted the construction of a working pattern of "strict protection, large protection, rapid protection, and simultaneous protection" of intellectual property. In December 2023, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council approved the establishment of an inter ministerial joint meeting system for the construction of a national intellectual property power. The joint meeting is composed of 29 member units, including the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the Central Propaganda Department, the Supreme People's Court, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The purpose of the joint meeting is to strengthen the overall coordination of the construction of a national intellectual property power, pool the joint efforts of work, and accelerate the construction of an intellectual property power. In 2024, promoting the transformation of scientific and technological achievements has been identified as one of the tasks in the government work report. At this year's National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, this has also become a hot topic of discussion among representative members. It is worth noting that as a major hub for the output of scientific and technological achievements, the conversion rate of scientific and technological achievements in universities is not high. In the view of Wang Guilin, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice Chairman of the Guangzhou Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and Director of the Guangzhou Science and Technology Bureau, "the real problem with the transformation of scientific and technological achievements is the insufficient resources available for effective transformation.". To this end, he suggested establishing a technology achievement transformation system with enterprises as the main body, demand as the driving force, and the combination of industry, academia, and research, accelerating the improvement of the three spiral support system of "entrepreneur growth chain, enterprise cultivation chain, and achievement transformation chain", bridging the evolution path of technology achievements from samples to products and then to commercial products, and promoting the acceleration of the formation of new quality productive forces in technology achievements.
