Correctly understand the role of the intellectual property system
We should correctly understand and view the role of China’s intellectual property system. Today, after more than 20 years of practice, we have a clear answer: This is that our country’s intellectual property system is playing an increasingly important role in encouraging innovation, promoting the promotion and application of inventions, introducing advanced foreign technologies, and improving our country’s market environment. effect.
Specifically, it is reflected in the following aspects: First, encouraging invention and creation has effectively promoted the improvement of my country's innovation capabilities. The establishment of the intellectual property system has greatly promoted the vigorous development of invention and creation activities in our country. As of the end of May 2007, the State Intellectual Property Office had accepted more than 3.55 million patent applications, 81.7% of which were domestic applications; of the more than 1.17 million invention patent applications with high technical content, domestic applications accounted for 52.2%. my country's Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) patent applications have increased from 1 in 1991 to 3,826 in 2006, ranking 8th in the world. The rapid development of my country's patent applications demonstrates the rapid improvement of my country's innovation capabilities.
Second, it creates a good environment for the introduction of advanced foreign technologies. In the past 30 years of reform and opening up, the reason why my country has been able to successfully introduce a large amount of foreign investment and advanced technology is largely due to the fact that we have established and implemented an intellectual property system, which has provided a good legal protection environment for foreign businessmen. As of May 2007, the State Intellectual Property Office had accepted more than 640,000 foreign patent applications, nearly 86% of which were invention patent applications with a high technical level. This is one of the cases where advanced foreign technologies have been successfully introduced under the protection of the intellectual property system. Important signs. At present, there are 980 R&D institutions established by foreign companies in China. Most of the world's top 500 companies have invested in China, and some have set up regional headquarters. my country has become the third largest recipient of foreign investment in the world. There is no doubt that the intellectual Property rights system provides important guarantee conditions for my country's good foreign investment environment.
The third is to greatly promoteindustrialization of innovative results. Since its birth, the intellectual property system has taken stimulating and protecting the commercialization and industrialization of innovative achievements as its fundamental starting point. It is precisely because of the positive role of the intellectual property system that a number of companies with strong market competitiveness have emerged in our country, such as Huawei, Haier, "Goodbaby", China Microelectronics, etc., with a large number of patents and well-known brands. By the end of 2006, Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. had applied for nearly 20,000 domestic patents and 2,122 foreign patents; Haier had applied for 7,008 patents and more than 500 foreign patents; "Goodbaby" had applied for 2,500 domestic patents. 47 foreign patents. A common feature of these enterprises is that they not only focus on independent innovation, but also pay more attention to the property rights and marketization of innovation results. This is the magic weapon for enterprises to expand domestic and foreign markets and remain invincible in fierce market competition. Of course, we must also be clearly aware that although my country's intellectual property system has played an important role in economic and social development, due to our late start and lack of experience, there are still areas that need to be strengthened and improved. In particular, problems such as the low awareness of intellectual property rights among enterprises and citizens and the low ability to use the intellectual property system are still quite prominent. But for a large developing country with a population of 1.3 billion, this will not happen overnight and will require a long process.
Currently, my country is undergoing a new round of patent law revisions, and a national intellectual property strategy is about to be released. The implementation of these major measures will definitely greatly promote the improvement of my country's intellectual property creation, management, protection and application capabilities, and the positive role of the intellectual property system in my country's economic and social development will also become more significant.
