The annual increase in domestic patent applications over the past decade has increased by more than 20%.

March 26, the 25th session of Fujian Provincial Youth Science and Technology Innovation contest opened in Fuzhou. A student shows off an automatic alarm of his invention. Zheng (material picture) innovation, is the theme of previous World Expo. In 23 days, the 2010 Shanghai World Expo will be opened.　　Many people are looking forward to the World Expo, to show a continuous progress on the road of innovation in China. People's self-confidence is not without reason.　　With the attention of the society to the Independent innovation and the technological innovation, the innovation field of our country has gained the remarkable leap-forward development in the past 10 years.　　In the case of patent filings, the patent statistics Bulletin of February this year pointed out that since 1999, the annual growth rate of domestic patent applications has averaged above 20% per cent and has quadrupled in 10.　　The 2009 International Patent Application data published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) showed that China's patent applications grew by about 30% per cent Year-on-year, ranked fifth in the world, after the United States, Japan, Germany and South Korea, the world's leading country, the daily report said March 16. In addition, the State Intellectual Property Office website published data shows that in the invention of patents, utility model patents and design patents three patent applications, the highest gold content of the "invention patent" application ratio, in 2009 reached 26.1%, 2.5% higher than in 2004, 11.9% higher than in 1999.　　But the invention patent application quantity, is our country can become the innovation country the important foundation. In addition, the number of patent licensing in China is also rising.　　According to the "Patent Statistics Bulletin", 2009 China's patent licensing number of more than 580,000, an increase of 41.2%, of which the number of domestic invention patents authorized growth of 40.4%. It is clear that China is rapidly moving towards the goal of becoming an innovative country.　　On the other hand, there are some noticeable problems in our innovation field. Lipu, director of the State Intellectual Property Office, said at a meeting of the Director of the National Intellectual Property Office held in February this year that China's innovative capacity was not yet able to meet development needs.　　In the key industries and core areas of the number of independent intellectual property rights, a large amount of independent intellectual property results remain in the laboratory stage, the enterprise intellectual property rights to use weak.　　The Yangtze Daily reported April 1, the Wuhan Intellectual Property Office announced the "2005-2008 Wuhan Regional Colleges and universities authorized patent maintenance and implementation status" survey, the cumulative sample of 15 institutions of 590 authorized patents, has been implemented 147 patents, only 24.9% of the total, a large number of scientific research is idle. The State Intellectual Property Office released data shows that 2009 Shanghai domestic patent application volume of 62,000, ranked fifth in the country, but the patent conversion rate is only about 10%. According to "Qilu Evening News" March 5, 2009 reported that the 2008 Jinan patent application volume reached 11,584, but the implementation rate of patent conversion less than 10%.　　The low rate of patent conversion is a common problem all over the country. At the same time, China's patent "fineness" stillInsufficient: The most gold-content "invention patent", in 2009, the national patent accounted for only 1/4; China's most patented varieties are "design patents", accounting for about 1/4 of global registrations. For the reason of "the number of patents but low conversion rate", during the two sessions, CPPCC members, academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Xu Word: "The scientific and technological community also has the phenomenon of academic fickleness and quick success." China's scientific and technological accumulation is less, some people lack of ten years of the spirit of grinding sword, not to work, but the excessive pursuit of patents and paper number, the development of science and technology has had a bad impact. "CPPCC members, the central government of the Democratic People's Republic of China and the chief of Staff Zhang Yi, in this year's session of the Chinese News of production," stressed that the international financial crisis has not yet ended again told us, with innovative enterprises as the mainstay of the global industrial core patent technology development and independent innovation capabilities, It plays a more and more important role in the adjustment of industrial structure and the improvement of international competitiveness.　　China has come to the critical period when it is necessary to help the independent and innovative enterprises in the core technology field to "continue to be bigger and stronger". Xu that the reason for the disconnect between technology and economy, first of all, is that "we have more technology-oriented scientific and technological achievements, and less market-oriented scientific and technological achievements".　　Therefore, we should continue to promote the construction of technological innovation system with the enterprise as the main body, the market as the guide and the combination of research and production. However, the domestic enterprises currently in general, there is a small number of invention patent applications. Although the State Intellectual Property Office website published data shows that 2009 domestic enterprises to patent applications for more than the total (also including domestic universities and personal invention patent application, etc.-editor note), reached 51.6%.　　However, according to the Intellectual Property report, in 2009 China's top ten companies in the number of invention patent applications, only four domestic enterprises (including a Taiwan-funded enterprises) shortlisted, and the number of inventions patent licensing the top ten enterprises, only two domestic enterprises shortlisted. About 4,700 pharmaceutical factories in the country have a "Drug production Enterprise License" (GMP), of which up to 90% per cent are small and medium-sized producers, the People's Daily reported April 10, 2008.　　Of the 50 best-selling drugs in China, 40 are made in foreign countries. Lipu in this year's National Intellectual Property Office Director of the meeting also revealed: "China's industrial enterprises above the size of the patent application only 4.2%."　　"In the face of the upcoming new round of technological innovation and economic development, Lipu pointed out that, whether from the international or domestic level, Chinese enterprises want to have the core competitiveness, the development of patents and other intellectual property rights must be placed in an important position." Enterprises to increase the patent "quantity" and "quality", increase research and development efforts is the first. However, according to the investor's report of April 6, from the domestic larger five species subsidiary Fung Lok seed Industry, Denghai seed industry, Dunhuang seed industry, Chiaki Tech Center and million to German agriculture annual report look, they in 2009 research and Development investment is only 44 million yuan, but Monsanto (a U.S. multinational agricultural biotechnology company-Editor noteThe investment in research and development in 2008 was as high as $980 million, 152 times times the total amount invested by the five companies. At present, many local government departments have introduced various measures to support enterprises and institutions to apply for domestic or foreign patents, played a large role. But for many companies, they also need the ability to innovate, and with a large number of researchers and sufficient funds, it becomes necessary conditions. After all, quite a lot of scientific research projects have a long cycle, big investment, slow and so on the real problems. Therefore, how to further encourage enterprises, especially to encourage the majority of enterprises in China to increase research and development efforts to enhance innovation capacity, has become an urgent problem to be solved.
