World Intellectual Property Organization: China International patent application in the top four

This newspaper in Germany reporter Liu Huanua newspaper in Belgium reporter Wu Our correspondent Dingxiaoxi 2010 International patent Application Quantity rankings (top four) the World Intellectual Property Organization chief economist Kasten Fink in the telephone interview with this reporter, said, because the Chinese government in the protection of intellectual property rights, the effective, China's future patent growth prospects are optimistic.　　Gurry, Director-General of WIPO, said that the increasing number of patent applications in East Asian countries led by China highlighted the trend of the global economic shift towards East Asia over the past five years. The World Intellectual Property Organization, based in Geneva, Switzerland, 9th reported a 4.8% increase in the number of international patent applications under its Convention on Patent Cooperation, and China's patent application has leapt to the fourth of its size and reached 56.2% per cent.　　In contrast, international patent applications in both Britain and the United States have been falling "tired" for the third consecutive year because of the financial crisis and other factors. China's international patent filings increased from 7,900 in 2009 to 12,339 last year, with a total of 44,855 in the United States, Japan (32,156) and Germany (17,171), according to the organization's data. In the number of international patent applications, ZTE Corporation and Huawei Technology Co., Ltd. Two Chinese companies in the second and fourth place, with Japan's Panasonic and the United States Qualcomm to lead the list. ZTE only accounted for 22nd place the year before last.　　But among the top 50 academic institutions that applied for international patents, American universities accounted for 30, and Japanese universities accounted for 10, but no Chinese universities were selected. Highlighting China's independent innovation and protection of intellectual property rights according to AFP, WIPO director-General Gurry said international patent applications under the Convention on Patent Cooperation had recovered from the shock of the 2009 financial crisis. Driven by the "phenomenal growth" in Chinese corporate innovation, Asia led the recovery in last year's international patent filings. He noted that China's patent application growth was astonishing, up by 56.2% per cent year-on-year, and that the increase had been achieved in a country with a larger base than Britain and France.　　The rapid growth in patent applications in China, Japan and South Korea reflects the acceleration of the geo-diversification of innovation activities, "highlighting the shift in the global economic focus to East Asia over the past five years," he said. Kasten Fink, the World Intellectual Property Organization's chief economist, said in a telephone interview that he himself was not surprised by the growth in China's patent applications, which has seen an increase in China's international and domestic patent applications over the past few years. He said China's future patent growth prospects are optimistic because of the effectiveness of the Chinese government in protecting intellectual property rights. Data show that the growth of China's international patent applications mainly in the field of digital communications and technology. He believes that this is inseparable from China's constantly improving national tax, government procurement and other policies to support independent innovation. At the same time, these areas to develop a huge space for enterprises to develop new technologyThe surgery offers a lot of opportunities. The proliferation of patents reflects China's economic and technological progress, but it is noteworthy that an increase in the number of patent applications alone does not explain all the problems, says Fink. Chinese companies attach importance to patent applications and make scientific inventions legal and capitalized, which will ultimately benefit the public.　　At the same time, it should be seen that enterprise patent application is also affected by interest-driven, corporate image molding and other factors. Financial crisis and other causes of the decline in U.S. and UK patent applications in Munich, Germany, the Director of the European Patent Office Media Relations, Mr. Ostwald told this reporter, China and other countries, the number of patent applications and the United States and Britain fell, the first reason is the impact of the financial crisis, so that the United States and From the industry, he believes that digital communications such as the ipod and other mobile communications technology has developed rapidly, promoting the number of patents in the field of the outstanding growth. The number of patent applications in traditional industries such as medicine and machinery lags behind.　　From China's patent applications in Europe, Huawei and other Chinese telecommunications companies have entered the world's most patented companies because of their development priorities in the fields of electronics and digital communications. Patent application is one of the important indexes to measure the innovation ability of a country and region. The number of international patent applications in Europe and the United States declined for the third consecutive year as a result of the financial crisis and the drop in research and development investment. The European Union's commissioner for Research and Innovation, quinine, recently said that Europe is facing a crisis of innovation because of the lack of an environment that encourages innovation. According to statistics, the cost of patent application by EU companies is about 10 times times that of the United States and Japan. The EU has always wanted to establish a unified patent system to reduce patent costs and improve the EU's innovative capabilities. However, because of the language and translation of patent applications, the opposition of Italy and Spain, the system has also been slow to establish.　　Quinine believes that if the EU does not act, then the ability to innovate will not only lag far behind the United States and Japan, will also lag behind China, Brazil and other emerging economies. When China's universities are not the top 50 of academic patent applications, Mr. Fink said China's universities and research institutions also filed a number of international patent applications last year, while American institutions have a long history and experience in patent applications. In the past 20 years, American academic institutions have provided a series of convenient conditions for the infrastructure and application process. In other words, the idea of turning creative inventions into productivity or wealth has become entrenched in American institutions.　　' Because international patent applications will eventually enter the domestic process, ' it seems, ' I'm afraid we're going to have to learn Chinese, ' Mr. Fink said humorously.　　Ostwald pointed out that although there is no Chinese university to enter the international patent 50 academic institutions, but "Twelve-Five" planning for universities and scientific research institutions, the investment is huge, will also promote these institutions to commercialize the process of patent.
