At the recent China Intellectual Property Annual Conference, the World Intellectual Property Organization released a set of data:
Currently, intangible assets of intellectual property, including patents, brands, and content, account for 90% of global business value, 54% of global listed companies, and reach 74 trillion US dollars.
As measured by the ruler of intellectual property, the strengths of China's economy are very obvious.
In terms of quantity, as of the end of June this year, the effective number of invention patents in China reached 4.568 million, a year-on-year increase of 16.9%; The number of effective registered trademarks
reached 44.235 million, a year-on-year increase of 9.1%, firmly maintaining its position as the world's largest patent and trademark country, and the growth momentum is promising. The continuous growth in
the number of trademark applications reflects the increasing emphasis on brand building and consumer demand among Chinese enterprises; The rapid increase in the effective number of invention patents reflects the
continuous improvement of independent innovation capabilities of Chinese enterprises, which will further promote technological progress and economic development.
From a qualitative perspective, as of the end of June, the effective number of invention patents in China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) was 3.683 million, of which 1.465 million were high-value
invention patents, accounting for approximately 39.8%. More importantly, in China's domestic ownership of high-value invention patents, effective invention patents belonging to strategic emerging industries
reached 1.051 million, an increase of 10.4% compared to the end of last year, accounting for 71.7% of the total. This means that the driving force of China's industrial innovation and development continues to strengthen.
The quantity and quality of intellectual property have increased, and the situation is both promising and pressing. On the one hand, Chinese enterprises are actively innovating, and the driving force behind
China's economic development is surging; On the other hand, there are still bottlenecks in the transformation of intellectual property rights into real productivity, and efforts need to be made to fill the gaps such as "yes", "good", and "feasible".
