'Evaluating each province's patent strength is an effective means to promote regional innovation quality, motivation, and efficiency change, and it helps to promote the deep integration of innovation chain, industry chain, capital chain, and policy chain in space, thus promoting higher regional formation. Quality, More Efficient, More Sustainable Development. ' Lei Shuyun, Director of the Patent Administration Department of the State Intellectual Property Office said.
Patent level continues to increase
All provinces, municipalities, and municipalities have established a correct understanding of their own patent levels, and they have been able to search for problems in a timely manner to provide reference for their targeted policies, thus improving the overall level of patent undertakings in all regions.
Patent strength refers to the sum of patent capabilities supporting economic and social development. The "Report" is based on the patent strength index system and objective data, and is guided by the high-quality development of the regional economy and society, and comprehensively promotes the patent strength for economic and social development. Objective evaluation. 'In these years, we have continuously improved the content of the index system to highlight the focus of the patent work of the year and the characteristics of the era of economic and social development. ' Han Xiucheng, director of the Intellectual Property Development Research Center of the State Intellectual Property Office said.
The “Report” shows that in 2017, Guangdong, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Sichuan, Shanghai, Fujian, Anhui, and Hubei ranked the top ten in the country’s overall patent strength. Guangdong, Beijing, and Jiangsu ranked in the overall patent strength of the eastern region. In the top 3, Anhui, Hubei, Hunan ranks in the top 3 in the central and northeast, Sichuan, Chongqing, and Shaanxi rank the top 3 in the western region.
"The "Report" is not ranked for ranking, but rather through rankings and changes, to better find achievements and shortcomings in the development of patent undertakings in various regions. 'In Lei Yunyun's view, the "Report" can make provinces The districts and cities correctly understand the position of their own patents in China, find shortages in time, and provide reference for targeted policies to promote the balanced development of the national patent undertaking; on the other hand, they can scientifically analyze the various components of the development of the patent undertaking. Improve the comprehensive level of patent businesses in all regions.
'This ranking reflects the obvious difference in geographical distribution of China's patent strength. ' Han Xiucheng believes that 7 of the top 10 provinces and districts and cities are located in the eastern part of China, which also shows that the patent undertaking is closely related to economic and social development.
At the same time, due to the strengthening of patent application capacity, the ranks of Fujian, Sichuan, and Hubei increased faster in 2016 than in 2016. Take Sichuan as an example. In the past year, a series of innovations around the use of intellectual property were Implemented here: In response to the low patent conversion rate in universities and other scientific research institutes, the Sichuan Provincial Intellectual Property Office has successively issued documents such as the Pilot Program for Reform of Titles of Ownership of Science and Technology Achievements under the Mixed Occupancy System. Since the implementation of the New Deal, it has divided more than 200 patents for service inventions. In the area of patent pledge financing, Sichuan Province introduced financial products such as 'Tianfu Zhilai Loan', and established a '1+1+3+N' intellectual property operating fund contributory linkage system. The scale of funds raised reached 1.13 billion yuan. Further improved the compensation mechanism for intellectual property pledge financing.
Quality orientation is more clear
Intensive implementation of patent quality improvement projects in all regions, establishment of innovation and development decision-making mechanism for patent navigation areas, and promotion of deep integration of intellectual property and regional high-quality development
The “Report” highlights the quality orientation of the development of the patent undertaking. Through the establishment of a regional patent quality index, it evaluates the strength of patent quality in each region, and guides regions to pay more attention to the improvement of patent quality and foster high-value patents.
'The regional patent quality index includes the regional patent technology level, regional patent application quality, regional patent economic efficiency, three first-level indicators. The provinces, districts, and cities ranked top in the Patent Quality Index are all three areas where the indicators score more comprehensive and balanced. ' Han Xiucheng said.
Take Beijing as an example. Of the three secondary indicators set under the regional patent technology level indicator, Beijing holds 40,000 patents for inventions, and the number of highly cited patents ranks first in the country. PCT ranks for international patent applications. Second in the country, it shows higher regional patent technology level and higher patent application quality.
For Guangdong, the number of its PCT international patent applications was 26,830, ranking first in the country, demonstrating the region’s overseas patent layout and awareness and ability to apply for patents abroad. Pledges and licenses under regional patent economic indicators In the record amount index, Guangdong has exceeded 10 billion yuan, ranking first in the country. It is a manifestation of the degree of contribution of regional patents to the economy, highlighting the economic benefits of high-quality patents.
In addition, the “Report” added the “number of patents deviation index” indicator, stressing that the increase in the number of patent applications for inventions should be commensurate with the speed of economic growth and the level of scientific and technological innovation, guide the growth of patent applications in all regions to remain within a reasonable range, and keep the number of patents stable. Based on the comprehensive improvement of the quality of patent creation.
'However, the phenomenon of unilateral pursuit of patents in some provinces still exists in varying degrees. The degree of matching between patents, science and technology, industries, and enterprises needs to be further improved. ' Lei Yunyun said that this is mainly represented by R&D expenditures, and patented products after R&D personnel's input. The output density is low, and the scale, structure, coverage and sustainability of corporate patents need to be improved. There is a certain degree of deviation between the output value of the leading industries in the region and the layout of patents. The coincidence between the orientation of emerging industries and the trend of actual patent activities is relatively low.
In response, she suggested that all regions need to strengthen quality orientation, conduct in-depth implementation of the patent quality improvement project, establish a decision-making mechanism for innovation and development in the patent navigation area, and guide the number and layout structure of patent applications and urban economic development level, industrial development needs, and scientific and technological innovation capabilities. Matching, promote the deep integration of intellectual property and regional high-quality development, improve regional intellectual property governance capacity and governance.
Strong provincial pilot breakthrough
The pilot provinces in which the province was built have achieved relatively mature experiences in some areas and links, and the role of intellectual property rights in supporting industrial economic development and other aspects has been increasingly strengthened.
In 2017, the pilot project of the province with strong intellectual property rights showed a full force and a good situation to promote in depth. The “Report” shows that Guangdong, Jiangsu, Sichuan, and Shanghai have made new progress in the key links of creation, protection, and utilization, giving full play to the leadership. Strong province pilot demonstration role. Strong support provinces in pilot provinces, Fujian and Chongqing have significant improvements in patent protection, Shandong, Henan, Hunan, and Shaanxi have outstanding performance in patent applications. Jiangxi, Gansu, Guangxi, and other strong features Provincial pilot provinces have made remarkable progress in patent creation.
Lei Yunyun said that in the past two years since the implementation of the pilot project for building a strong province, the pilot sites have accelerated research and actively explored. They have achieved relatively mature experiences in some fields and links, and the role of intellectual property rights in supporting industrial economic development and other aspects has been increasingly strengthened. .
In Shanghai, Shanghai International Intellectual Property Institute, Shanghai Intellectual Property Exchange Center and other functional platforms were established one after another. Caohejing National Intellectual Property Service Industry Cluster Development Demonstration Zone was completed, with IPR appraisal, pledge financing, and patent insurance as pilot projects. Hand, The work pattern for enhancing the ability of innovative entities to use intellectual property has been established; In Fujian, the public security authorities in the province cracked 513 cases of all types of infringement and counterfeiting crimes, and 2057 cases of administrative enforcement of patents, intellectual property credit system and rights protection assistance system. Initially completed; In Henan, patent quality improvement, patent navigation, and IPR strong schools and other projects have been implemented in depth, adding momentum to the strengthening of intellectual property creation capabilities, and the establishment of the first Henan Patent Award has improved patent quality and efficiency.” Catalyst'.
'At the same time, all provinces, districts and cities have adopted special studies and detailed implementation plans in terms of organizational guarantees, policy implementation, and supporting measures. ' Han Xiucheng said that Jiangsu Province has formulated five-year development plan for intellectual property talents and pilot work for regional layouts. Advancing programs, major economic and scientific activities, intellectual property appraisal methods and other series of policy documents; Sichuan, relying on the entire innovation, free trade zones and other experimental functional carriers, comprehensively carry out the pilot projects of strong provinces, and play an exemplary role in the country.
Although the grades are gratifying, we must clearly see that provinces have insufficient investment in resources, weak law enforcement power, and ineffective market performance. “ Han Xiucheng stated that the investment data for special funds monitored from the patent strength status report In view of this, in 10 provinces, the investment in intellectual property funds in 2017 was less than 50 million yuan, compared to 7 in the province where the investment in intellectual property funds fell in 2016. The 2017 special fund for intellectual property work and 2016 regional fiscal expenditure Among the provinces with ratios above 0.1%, there were only Fujian, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Sichuan, and Guangdong.
