China National Intellectual Property Administration Media Focus on Intellectual Property News： Weaving the Intellectual Property Protection Network of Tight Weaving Enterprises.

The Tenth Five-Year Plan for the Protection and Utilization of Intellectual Property Rights (hereinafter referred to as the Plan) adheres to the basic principle of strengthening protection, strengthens the whole chain protection of intellectual property rights, makes every effort to push intellectual property protection to a new level, and gives full play to the basic guarantee role of the intellectual property system in stimulating innovation. Enterprises are the "main force" of intellectual property creation and the "beneficiary" of intellectual property protection. Recently, our reporter walked into a number of enterprises, listened to enterprises talk about the "Planning", talked about real practical experience, and discussed the implementation points of the "Planning".

Source protection "building foundation"

Innovation and creation are the origin of intellectual property and the basis of intellectual property protection. It is an important task to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights in an all-round way and promote the high-quality development of intellectual property rights by consolidating the source and highlighting the quality orientation of innovation and creation. The Plan proposes to strengthen the source protection of intellectual property rights, promote the high-quality creation of intellectual property rights, and strengthen the creation and reserve of independent intellectual property rights in key areas such as artificial intelligence, basic software and aerospace technology.

"The ability of independent innovation provides a source of living water for the high-quality creation of intellectual property rights. Innovation ability and innovation quality fundamentally determine the value of intellectual property, which is related to the quality and market value of intellectual property. Vigorously improving innovation ability is the basis for enterprises to implement intellectual property development strategies such as intellectual property protection. " Wang Junlei, chief expert of China Automotive Technology Research Center and deputy secretary-general of Intellectual Property Branch of China Automotive Engineering Society, told this reporter that in this regard, China Automotive Technology Research Center Co., Ltd. has a certain high-quality patent output every year, and maintains innovative vitality in the fields of intelligent networked vehicles, new energy vehicles and vehicle manufacturing.

Strictly controlling the application for registration of intellectual property rights, and encouraging the active application of intellectual property system to protect and innovate on the basis of quality and value orientation are another key to the "foundation" of high-quality development of intellectual property rights. The Plan also emphasizes the need to strengthen the quality supervision of intellectual property application registration.

"It can be intuitively felt that in recent years, the intellectual property management department has continuously increased the action of source protection, and strictly regulated the patent application, trademark registration and copyright registration behavior. Enterprises are both the main players and direct beneficiaries of strengthening source protection. " In Wang Junlei’s view, a severe crackdown on the application for registration of intellectual property rights, which is not based on protecting innovation, is not aimed at use and is not aimed at improving market competitiveness, will help to form a good atmosphere for innovation and creation, promote market players to optimize resource allocation, enhance the value of intellectual property rights from the source of innovation, and help enterprises gain more prominent market competitive advantages.

Solidly protect "fitness"

Intellectual property is the core competitiveness and important strategic resources of enterprises, which is connected with innovation at one end and market at the other. Innovative achievements are the "stepping stone" for enterprises to go to the market, and the intellectual property system can make innovative achievements better realize economic and social values. However, for some small and medium-sized enterprises, the dividend of intellectual property system has not been fully released, and intellectual property protection measures should be further strengthened.

Hunan Maixi Software Co., Ltd. is a start-up enterprise engaged in the research and software development of core algorithms of industrial CAE software, and has made a lot of industry-leading innovations in the basic algorithms such as mathematical calculation library and unit algorithm library. Its founder, Cui Xiangyang, told the reporter: "The company has been gradually recognized in the commercial market by virtue of its advantages in algorithm technology, but it is still weak in patent layout, trademark application, and subsequent protection and operation, resulting in the company’s lack of intellectual property weapons to effectively safeguard its competitive resources in the development process."

"The Plan deepens the deployment and implementation of the intellectual property strategy promotion project for small and medium-sized enterprises, encourages small and medium-sized enterprises to increase investment in intellectual property rights, and strives to improve the level of intellectual property protection, application and management of small and medium-sized enterprises, clarifying the direction and providing assistance for the intellectual property development of small and medium-sized enterprises, which greatly boosted our confidence." Cui Xiangyang said.

At the same time, the Plan emphasizes continuing to strengthen the judicial and administrative protection of intellectual property rights, carrying out the construction project of intellectual property protection institutions in depth, improving the service capacity of intellectual property protection institutions, building a number of intellectual property protection centers in advantageous industrial clusters, providing one-stop comprehensive intellectual property services integrating rapid review, rapid confirmation and rapid rights protection, strengthening the overall coordination of rights protection assistance, promoting the extension of the rights protection assistance system to the grassroots level, and realizing a nationwide network of rights protection assistance services. These deployments will provide more solid, fast, convenient and effective service guarantee for enterprise intellectual property protection, help enterprises to "strengthen their bodies" and win the market.

Overseas layout "adds color"

Intellectual property is just needed for innovation and development, and it is also the standard of international trade. More and more enterprises in China are changing from "going out" to "going in". While using intellectual property rights to form new advantages in international cooperation and competition, there is also more demand for overseas intellectual property rights protection and rights protection assistance.

"For a long time, Xiaomi Group has carried out extensive patent distribution around the world, and actively explored international cooperation networks such as patent prosecution highway and The Hague system to improve the distribution and protection efficiency of overseas intellectual property rights, which has achieved certain results. This is inseparable from the precise support of domestic policy measures. " Li Yanjun, director of patent management in the Legal Department of Xiaomi Group, said that in recent years, domestic intellectual property management departments have joined forces with all parties to accelerate the establishment and improvement of international intellectual property risk early warning and emergency response mechanisms, and constantly improve the overseas intellectual property information service capabilities, so that enterprises that "go global" will benefit greatly.

The Plan also further emphasizes strengthening international cooperation in intellectual property protection, strengthening business cooperation in intellectual property review, guiding innovative subjects to make rational use of the World Intellectual Property Organization’s global service system and other channels, improving the efficiency of overseas intellectual property distribution and protection, strengthening the construction of overseas intellectual property dispute response guidance system, and enhancing overseas intellectual property risk prevention capabilities. Taking advantage of the policy deployment and the implementation of measures, "China Creation" and "China Wisdom" will shine more brightly on the international stage.
