2024-08-30
Shanxi has issued regulations on the protection of aged vinegar, Anhui has carried out special action on geographical indications of spring tea for six consecutive years, Jiangxi Gannan tea oil and other geographical indications have been included in the national directory of geographical indication application and promotion, Henan has established a protection and supervision system for geographical indications of Jun porcelain, Hubei has accelerated the construction of geographical indication protection demonstration areas such as Qiai, Jingshan Qiaomi, etc., and Hunan Liuyang fireworks and other geographical indication products have been included in the list of mutual recognition and mutual protection of geographical indications between China and Europe... The data recently disclosed by the China National Intellectual Property Administration shows that in 2023, the direct annual output value of geographical indications in the central region will reach 239.52 billion yuan, accounting for about a quarter of the country, effectively stimulating the potential of regional economic development. This is one aspect of intellectual property protection helping the rise of the central region in the new era. The intellectual property rights in the central region are not only the geographical indication protection of "local specialties". As of June this year, the number of valid invention patents in the central region has reached 618000, a year-on-year increase of 19.0%; The number of effective registered trademarks reached 7.044 million, a year-on-year increase of 11.0%; A total of 543 geographical indication products have been recognized, and 1397 geographical indications have been approved as collective trademarks or certification trademarks. The total number of geographical indications accounts for about one-fifth of the country's total. In recent years, the China National Intellectual Property Administration has supported the strategic positioning of the central region based on "three bases" and "one hub", strengthened intellectual property work in an all-round way, improved the level of legalization of intellectual property protection, and actively helped the rise of the central region to make positive progress in the new era. Entering Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Yutong) located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, to enhance the efficiency of intellectual property creation and utilization, the constantly jumping and updating numbers on the big screen of Yutong's vehicle networking operation monitoring system remind people that its vehicles operating globally have covered more than 100 countries. According to Dr. Wang Xixi, the head of Yutong New Energy Thermal Management Technology Department, Yutong Bus will sell 36518 vehicles worldwide in 2023, with a revenue of 27.042 billion yuan. By the end of 2023, the overall market share of large and medium-sized buses will be 36.13%, with a global market share of over 10%. The cumulative sales of new energy buses will exceed 180000 units. Intellectual property management plays an important supporting role in it. According to Zhang Yongqi, the professional manager of Yutong Patent Management, Yutong has long adhered to reasonable R&D investment, with annual R&D expenses maintained at more than 5% of operating income. We have established a comprehensive and three-dimensional intellectual property protection system with trademarks and patents as the core protection strategy, combined with software copyright and trade secrets. According to Zhang Yongqi, as of the end of 2023, Yutong has 2355 valid patents and software copyrights at home and abroad, including 775 invention patents and 244 software copyrights; Participated in the development of 269 national, industry, local, and group standards. As soon as they arrived at the test site, a red bus whizzed past at high speed from the slope of the test site in a semi inclined posture, causing a wave of exclamation. It is understood that this is conducting a maximum 40.3 degree circumferential centrifugal acceleration test. It can achieve high-speed turning without slowing down and quickly reach the maximum speed, ensuring high-speed performance testing of the vehicle. Obviously, this is the result of the boldness of "skilled artists" supported by patented technology. Zhang Yongqi emphasized the importance of government guidance and support for Yutong's technological innovation. He mentioned a case in particular - when Yutong participated in a foreign auto show, thanks to the patent early warning analysis and overseas risk response strategies and other services provided by the Patent Examination Cooperation Center of the Patent Office of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, it successfully completed the exhibition and demonstrated the technical strength and brand image of Chinese national enterprises. Liu Huaizhang, a member of the Party Group of Henan Provincial Intellectual Property Bureau, stated that the bureau is implementing the Key Industry Chain Intellectual Property Strong Enterprise Cultivation Project. Implement the deployment of the special action plan for patent transformation and application, scientifically plan transformation projects around key industry chain owners, innovative leading enterprises, etc., continuously improve the efficiency of enterprise intellectual property creation and application, and cultivate strong intellectual property enterprises in key industry chains. Looking at the whole central region, as Guo Wen, Director of the Intellectual Property Protection Department of the China National Intellectual Property Administration, said, the China National Intellectual Property Administration has now supported 31 cities and 64 counties (districts) in the central region to build strong cities and counties with national intellectual property rights, cultivated 2119 national demonstration enterprises with intellectual property advantages, built 4 demonstration parks and 13 pilot parks for building a national intellectual property power, helped to improve regional innovation level and promote high-quality economic and social development of the entire central region. The administrative adjudication has made positive progress. The central region connects the east and west, and connects the north and south. It is an important carrier area for the high-quality development of the country, with unique geographical advantages and broad market potential. Promoting the rise of the central region is a major strategic deployment made by the Party Central Committee. As an important resource for development and a core element of competitiveness, intellectual property rights must play an important role in promoting the rise of the central region and enhancing economic quality and efficiency. The China National Intellectual Property Administration recently "moved" its regular press conference from Beijing to Zhengzhou. Heads of relevant departments of the China National Intellectual Property Administration and heads of intellectual property offices of six provinces in the central region gathered here, releasing a positive signal that "intellectual property helps the rise of the central region in the new era". The China National Intellectual Property Administration is increasing its support for key areas in the central region to strongly support its regional economic and social development. Guo Wen said that the China National Intellectual Property Administration, in accordance with the principle of "one province, one policy", has established a mechanism for joint construction of provinces with strong intellectual property rights to support the central region to expand and strengthen advanced manufacturing industries and boost economic transformation and upgrading. At the same time, we will strengthen intellectual property protection, enhance the level of rule of law in intellectual property protection work, and continuously optimize the business and innovation environment. The 13 national level intellectual property protection centers and 5 rapid rights protection centers built in the central region have received a total of 3136 intellectual property rights protection cases in the first half of this year, providing convenient, efficient, and low-cost rights protection channels for various business entities. In Anhui, there are two national intellectual property protection centers, Anhui Province and Hefei City. According to Cheng Yin, Director of the Intellectual Property Bureau of Anhui Province, the province has expanded the coverage of fast protection areas and regions, established 258 intellectual property rights protection assistance organizations, 143 people's mediation organizations for intellectual property disputes, 45 intellectual property protection workstations, and 17 overseas intellectual property dispute response guidance institutions, enriching the supply of intellectual property protection services. Anhui Province has also launched special administrative protection actions for patents, trademarks, and geographical indications for three consecutive years, forming a high-pressure situation to crack down on intellectual property infringement, counterfeiting, and illegal activities. Hubei Province attaches great importance to strengthening the legal protection of intellectual property rights. The legislative progress of the "Regulations on the Promotion and Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in Hubei Province" is orderly and is expected to be introduced this year. Intellectual property administrative rulings have also made positive progress in the central region. Anhui explores one-stop dispute resolution through "administrative adjudication+administrative mediation+judicial confirmation"; In Shanxi, the pilot construction of standardizing administrative rulings on patent infringement disputes has handled a total of 259 patent infringement cases in two years, which is 3.9 times the total number of cases in the first three and a half years of the pilot; Hubei Province has launched the standardization construction of administrative adjudication, and 14 cities and counties (districts) in the province have been approved to carry out the first batch of national level patent infringement dispute administrative adjudication standardization construction pilot projects in the country. Innovative grassroots governance models for intellectual property have yielded fruitful results in the central region. The innovative grassroots governance model of intellectual property rights in Jiangxi is one of the typical examples. In 2023, Fuzhou City will explore the establishment of grassroots service stations for intellectual property rights and be selected as the second batch of typical cases for the construction of a strong intellectual property country. Under this mode, the three functions of intellectual property creation and application, intellectual property protection and trademark supervision directly under the market supervision department will be entrusted to the intellectual property grassroots workstation, and the mode of "one intellectual property commissioner+one intellectual property grassroots workstation" will be implemented. The expert dispatcher will link with the enterprise liaison to effectively organize a "network" of intellectual property protection and services. Wang Xiaoqing, a second level inspector of the Jiangxi Provincial Intellectual Property Bureau, told reporters that at present, Jiangxi has established 261 grassroots workstations for intellectual property protection in various counties and districts throughout the province, extending the work of intellectual property protection to the grassroots level, forming a comprehensive service pattern for intellectual property that is interconnected and coordinated from top to bottom, connecting the "last mile" of intellectual property creation, application, protection, management, and service, and continuously optimizing the business environment. Hubei is also promoting intellectual property protection at the grassroots level. According to Cheng Hao, Deputy Director of the Hubei Provincial Intellectual Property Bureau, more than 530 intellectual property protection workstations have been established in enterprises, markets, and parks with high intellectual property density throughout the province, providing "one-stop" intellectual property protection for innovation entities. Hubei is also deeply implementing the Enterprise Intellectual Property Protection Project, supporting 112 innovative overseas enterprises to carry out overseas intellectual property strategic layout and risk prevention, and establishing a "1+N" key export enterprise overseas intellectual property protection analysis report system. Hunan has explored two successful experiences: the construction of intellectual property centers in universities and the risk compensation mechanism for market-oriented intellectual property pledge financing. Wu Feng, Deputy Director of the Hunan Provincial Intellectual Property Office, introduced that Hunan has built 15 university intellectual property centers to guide the implementation of full chain intellectual property management, and to build a patent transformation lifecycle centered on high-value patent supply, moderate matching and docking, and efficient transformation and implementation. Establishing a provincial intellectual property pledge financing risk compensation fund of 30 million yuan, entrusting operating institutions to operate in a market-oriented manner, and establishing a risk sharing mechanism of "who evaluates, who bears the risk, and who disposes", successfully selected as one of the first batch of typical cases of intellectual property pledge financing and insurance in the country. The pilot program for national data intellectual property rights in Shanxi has also achieved remarkable results. According to Wu Xiaoqin, Deputy Director of the Shanxi Provincial Intellectual Property Bureau, the bureau has jointly issued the "Measures for the Administration of Data Intellectual Property Registration (Trial)" with 10 departments including courts and procuratorates. The Shanxi Provincial Data Intellectual Property Registration Platform is now running online on the government service network. Accelerating the rise of the central region is of great significance Guo Wen said that in the next step, the China National Intellectual Property Administration and provincial intellectual property offices in the central region will do a solid job in intellectual property work, help the central region continue to promote scientific and technological innovation and industrial innovation, build a high standard market system, create a first-class business environment, and promote high-quality economic and social development.
