CCTV reporter: novel coronavirus pneumonia continues to spread worldwide. Is the epidemic affected the market's main intellectual property applications in the first half of the year? What is the specific situation?
[ 2020-07-09 10:11 ]
[director of strategic planning division of State Intellectual Property Office, Ge Shu] Thank you for your questions. The sudden outbreak of novel coronavirus pneumonia has a great impact on economic and social development. Since the outbreak, our bureau has seriously implemented the major decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, promulgated and implemented various measures for the facilitation of intellectual property rights relief, and paid attention to rescue and stimulate market vitality. From the statistical data of the first half of the year, the domestic application of the main market subjects in China has been recovering and improving continuously, and the distribution of outward applications has been steadily and rapidly promoted.
From the perspective of domestic application, in the first half of this year, the domestic patent and trademark applications in China have achieved double growth year on year. According to the monthly trend, domestic applications were greatly affected by the epidemic in February, and there was a relatively large decline, but after that, the application recovered rapidly and continued to rise. At present, the growth rate of the previous epidemic has exceeded the previous level by month. From the perspective of applicant type, domestic enterprises occupy the main position of application, and contribute the most to the growth of application.
[ 2020-07-09 10:12 ]
[Ge Shu] from the international application layout, as mentioned in the data released by the spokesman just now, in the first half of the year, the PCT international patent application submitted by Chinese applicants to the State Intellectual Property Office increased by 20.7% year-on-year, and the Madrid international trademark registration application increased by 36.0% year on year. This shows that, in the face of the situation changes brought by the impact of the epidemic, Chinese enterprises still have confidence in the prospect of foreign markets, adhere to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and actively explore the international market, and steadily and orderly promote "going out".
In general, the current application of intellectual property rights in China is based on domestic market, expanding international market and developing trend is good, which is conducive to supporting innovation driven high-quality economic development and promoting the development level of export-oriented economy. Next, the State Intellectual Property Office will further implement a series of intellectual property policy measures to deal with epidemic prevention and control and serve the market subjects, and provide more powerful support for shaping a better business environment, encouraging and protecting innovation. thank you.
[ 2020-07-09 10:14 ]
Xinhua News Agency reporter asked: in the near future, we have noticed that the State Intellectual Property Office has issued a series of measures to strengthen the protection of geographical indications, including unifying and standardizing the use of special geographical indications. Can we briefly introduce the progress of relevant work?
[ 2020-07-09 10:16 ]
[Zhang Zhicheng, director of intellectual property protection division of the State Intellectual Property Office] Thank you for your questions. In order to strengthen the protection of geographical indications, in April 2020, the State Intellectual Property Office issued the administrative measures for the use of special geographical indications (Trial Implementation) and promoted the implementation. It is an important measure to promote the unified identification of geographical indications, improve the system of geographical indication protection and improve the level of geographical indication protection. Since the implementation of the measures for three months, positive results have been achieved.
First, the unified change of geographical indications is more standardized. The State Intellectual Property Office organizes the Provincial Intellectual Property management departments to formulate special work plans, and to carry out the download, printing, distribution and replacement of special signs in an orderly manner. As of June 30, 2020, 4966 enterprises have opened the download permission of special logo vector map, accounting for 56% of the total number of enterprises approved to use special signs.
[ 2020-07-09 10:17 ]
[Zhang Zhicheng] second, the use and approval of special signs is more efficient. In order to implement the reform requirements of "release management service" in the field of intellectual property, the State Intellectual Property Office has carried out pilot work on the reform of special sign use approval in 12 provinces and cities in China, strictly reviewed the standards, optimized the review process, and compressed the time for approval of special signs use by more than half.
Third, the use of special signs is more strictly regulated. We should improve the "Internet plus" protection and supervision system, organize the Provincial Intellectual Property management departments to set up the management account of special signs, focus on online sales platform, take account of the physical retail and circulation market, and strengthen the active monitoring of the use of geographical indications special signs for related products and the investigation and handling of information about complaints and complaints.
[ 2020-07-09 10:18 ]
Fourth, the use of special signs is more in-depth. The State Intellectual Property Office makes public to the society the use and daily supervision information of special geographical indications to the society through the geographic indication protection information platform. Provincial Intellectual Property management departments shall open the special signs and use the management policy consultation telephone to unblock the public inquiry channels. Give full play to the supervision and coordination and demonstration leading role of industry associations, leading enterprises and geographical indication product protection demonstration areas, expand the scope and depth of publicity and improve the effectiveness of geographical indication protection.
Next, the State Intellectual Property Office will further strengthen the protection of geographical indications, strictly declare and approve procedures and requirements, establish a dynamic management mechanism for the use of special signs with "progress and exit", and give full play to the important aspects of geographical indication protection in serving "six stability", "six guarantees", improving the competitiveness of protected geographical indication products, promoting high-quality economic and social development, etc effect. thank you.
[ 2020-07-09 10:20 ]
People's daily people's network: in June this year, the State Intellectual Property Office issued the guidance on Further Strengthening the work of assistance for the protection of intellectual property rights, which everyone is concerned about. Can you introduce the background and main contents of the opinions?
[ 2020-07-09 10:23 ]
[Zhang Zhicheng] Thank you for your questions. The work of protecting rights is an important part of the construction of the intellectual property protection system and an important aspect of the construction of the pattern of intellectual property protection. The opinions on strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights issued by the general office of the CPC Central Committee and the general office of the State Council last year clearly require that the construction of software and hardware of public service platforms such as rights protection assistance and overseas rights protection assistance services should be strengthened. The Central Committee and the State Council have repeatedly emphasized the strengthening of intellectual property rights protection assistance in a series of important documents such as improving the property protection system.
Meanwhile, in recent years, the work of rights protection assistance is facing new needs and changes in the situation, and further guidance is needed. On the one hand, the work of safeguarding rights needs to strengthen the systematic construction. It is necessary to further clarify the respective positioning and service priorities of the rights protection assistance center, intellectual property protection center and rapid rights protection center, and guide universities, industry associations, volunteers and other forces to participate in relevant work. On the other hand, the need for rights protection assistance is urgent in new fields such as small and medium-sized and micro enterprises, exhibitions, e-commerce, overseas rights protection, and so on, and it needs to be deployed. Meanwhile, the useful work experience of the local exploration and development of the right protection assistance needs to be summarized and promoted timely.
[ 2020-07-09 10:24 ]
[Zhang Zhicheng] Therefore, the State Intellectual Property Office has studied and issued opinions, which includes four parts: General requirements, comprehensive improvement of the capacity of rights protection assistance, highlighting the focus of the work of rights protection assistance and strengthening the work security of rights protection assistance. The work objectives by 2025 are proposed, the scope of the work of the assistance is clarified, and the horizontal and vertical coordination, point-to-face combination and social governance are emphasized We will strengthen the coordination and coordination of the work system for the protection of rights, and realize the "one network" of the whole country for the protection of intellectual property rights such as patent, trademark, geographical indication, integrated circuit layout design and other intellectual property rights protection assistance. It emphasizes improving the online service platform of intellectual property rights protection assistance in China and strengthening the integration of the business of rights protection assistance by using the platform. It is emphasized that we should do a good job in the aid of rights protection for small and medium-sized and micro enterprises, strengthen the aid in trade and trade circulation fields such as exhibitions and e-commerce, improve overseas rights protection assistance services, and explore the mode of social co governance and rights protection assistance in combination with universities and social organizations. The Opinions also require that local governments formulate implementation plans, strive for resource security, and strengthen the allocation of sufficient personnel.
Next, the State Intellectual Property Office will further promote and improve the work mechanism of rights protection assistance, guide local governments to strengthen capacity-building, improve online service platform, better serve the needs of the public and innovation subjects in the protection of intellectual property rights, and implement the decision-making and deployment of the CPC Central Committee and the state Council on strengthening the protection of intellectual property in practical action. thank you.
