The State Intellectual Property Office explained at a press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council that currently, emerging industries and future industries such as artificial intelligence, quantum technology, next-generation information technology, biomedicine, etc., are rapidly iterating technology and deepening business formats, putting forward new requirements for establishing and improving intellectual property protection systems. The “Outline” of the national “15th Five-Year Plan” clearly states that it is necessary to “improve the intellectual property protection system in emerging fields.” In recent years, some of the key tasks carried out have also achieved certain results. First, intellectual property protection systems in emerging fields are constantly being innovated. Continue to promote innovation in examination models, continuously improve the quality and efficiency of intellectual property examinations, and effectively adapt to the characteristics of rapid development, efficient innovation, and rapid iteration in emerging fields. By the end of June this year, the number of valid invention patents for strategic emerging industries in China had reached 1.746 million, an increase of 4.3% over the end of the previous year, and a number of key core technology patents were laid out in various industrial fields. Second, intellectual property protection achievements in emerging fields are being transformed at an accelerated pace. Build industrial intellectual property operation centers to a high standard around emerging fields such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, and promote the industrialization of patents in emerging fields. Of the 65 intellectual property operation centers that have been approved so far, 48 involve emerging and future industries such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, aerospace, and 6G, accounting for more than 70%. Continued exploration of data intellectual property protection practices has been carried out. Relevant registration certificates have been successfully applied in scenarios such as judicial decisions and asset listing. The total amount of financing and credit increases has reached nearly 16 billion yuan, and the transaction license and securitization amount has exceeded 2 billion yuan. Third, the intellectual property protection environment in emerging fields continues to be optimized. Policy documents such as “Opinions on Further Strengthening Intellectual Property Protection in the Photovoltaic Industry” and “Internet +” Intellectual Property Protection Work Plan were issued to enhance the effectiveness of intellectual property protection in key areas. According to the State Intellectual Property Office, emerging fields cover a wide range of fields and diverse business formats. The next step will be to focus separately on the development practices of different industries in emerging fields, provide a more effective licensing and authorization model for the development of emerging fields from the intellectual property side, define more clear rights ownership, scope of protection and forms of protection, and operate a smoother collaborative protection system and infringement response mechanism.
