The State Intellectual Property Office issued the “Fifteenth Five-Year Plan” for Patent and Trademark Examination. The “Plan” lays out four key tasks. First, in terms of patent examination, we will continue to improve the rules of the patent examination system, improve the patent examination management system, comprehensively improve the quality of patent examination, and serve the needs of economic and social innovation and development. Second, in terms of trademark examination, we will continue to improve the rules of the trademark examination system, strengthen the construction of a trademark examination system, improve the quality and efficiency of trademark examination, and serve high-quality economic and social development. Third, in terms of international cooperation in reviewing business, deepening foreign exchange in patent and trademark examination, deeply participating in global governance, and supporting innovators and business entities to raise the level of overseas patent and trademark layout. Fourth, in terms of capacity building for reviews, accelerate the construction of a talent team and review culture, and systematically enhance the ability to support examinations and guarantees. At the same time, seven special projects have been set up, including a project to improve patent examination rules in emerging fields, a project to improve the quality of trademark examination, and an “artificial intelligence +” examination project.
