[Director of the Intellectual Property Protection Department of the State Intellectual Property Office Zhang Zhicheng] Dear friends from the media: Good afternoon everyone! Welcome to the September regular press conference of the State Intellectual Property Office. Today, we will release the relevant results of the 2021 National Social Satisfaction Survey on Intellectual Property Protection. Through the ten-year changes in satisfaction, we will introduce to you the positive progress and results in intellectual property protection work since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.

At this press conference, we invited Wang Songlin, deputy director of the Law Enforcement and Inspection Bureau of the State Administration for Market Regulation, He Yuefeng, deputy director of the Treaty and Law Department of the State Intellectual Property Office, and Zhi Suping, director of the Jiangsu Provincial Intellectual Property Office, to attend and answer questions of concern. I am Zhang Zhicheng, spokesperson and director of the Intellectual Property Protection Department of the State Intellectual Property Office.

[2022-09-06 15:00]

[Zhang Zhicheng] First of all, let me make relevant announcements to everyone.

The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to intellectual property protection. General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over the 25th collective study session of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and made important arrangements for comprehensively strengthening intellectual property protection. In 2021, the Party Central Committee and the State Council issued the "Outline for Building a Strong Country on Intellectual Property (2021-2035)", and the State Council issued the "14th Five-Year Plan for National Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization Plan" to make major top-level designs for the future development of intellectual property undertakings. The State Intellectual Property Office, together with relevant departments, has taken multiple measures to comprehensively strengthen intellectual property protection.

[2022-09-06 15:01]

[Zhang Zhicheng] The key to protecting intellectual property rights is to achieve social recognition and public satisfaction. In order to accurately grasp the whole society's evaluation of intellectual property protection, the State Intellectual Property Office has organized and conducted social satisfaction surveys on intellectual property protection for ten consecutive years since 2012. The work was carried out in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country in a random sampling manner. The survey covers all aspects of intellectual property protection, including 5 first-level indicators, 11 second-level indicators and 31 third-level indicators such as legal policies, law enforcement protection, mechanism construction, awareness cultivation, and protection effects. The survey results effectively reflect the important achievements and major results achieved by various localities and departments in the protection of intellectual property rights under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core.

Overall, over the past ten years, the whole society’s satisfaction with intellectual property protection has significantly improved in all aspects. In 2021, the national social satisfaction with intellectual property protection reached 80.61 points (100-point scale), an increase of 0.56 points compared with 2020, and an increase of 16.92 points compared with the beginning of the survey (2012) and the early stage of the 13th Five-Year Plan (2016). and 8.23 points, the score reached a record high, crossing the 80-point threshold for two consecutive years, and the overall situation has entered a good stage. The social satisfaction scores for intellectual property protection in 31 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country have increased significantly. Taking Jiangsu Province as an example, the satisfaction score in 2021 was 83.62 points, a total increase of 17.57 points in the past ten years.

Specifically, the changes in satisfaction with intellectual property protection fully demonstrate the obvious results achieved in my country's "strict protection", "large protection", "quick protection" and "same protection" of intellectual property rights.

[2022-09-06 15:03]

[Zhang Zhicheng] In terms of legal policies, the orientation of strict protection of intellectual property rights has been further demonstrated. Our country has continuously increased the punishment of intellectual property infringements, significantly increased the cost of violating the law, and protected rights holders and innovators. The Civil Code stipulates the general principle of punitive damages for intentional infringement. The criminal law amendments have increased the severity of penalties for intellectual property crimes. The patent law, trademark law, copyright law and other separate intellectual property laws have completed a new round of revisions and been implemented. The "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on the Application of Punitive Damages in the Trial of Civil Cases of Intellectual Property Infringement" and other judicial interpretations related to intellectual property protection have been issued intensively. 30 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) have formulated and promulgated local regulations on intellectual property protection. The 2021 survey results show that among the five first-level indicators of the satisfaction evaluation system, the whole society is satisfied with legal policies the highest, with a score of 83.26 points.

In terms of law enforcement and protection, the pattern of comprehensive intellectual property protection has been further established. The enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights in China continues to strengthen. Taking administrative protection as an example, in 2021, national intellectual property management departments handled 49,800 administrative cases of patent infringement disputes, and market supervision departments at all levels investigated and dealt with 4,800 counterfeit patent cases. One year after the implementation of the new patent law, the State Intellectual Property Office has concluded 28 administrative adjudication cases for early settlement of pharmaceutical patent disputes, and it took less than four months (excluding suspension time) to conclude the first batch of 2 administrative adjudication cases for major patent infringement disputes. case. Market supervision, copyright, customs, intellectual property and other departments regularly carry out special actions for the enforcement and protection of intellectual property rights, and continue to crack down on illegal acts of intellectual property infringement. The whole society's satisfaction score with my country's law enforcement and protection has increased significantly from 58.45 points at the beginning of the survey to 80.95 points in 2021. Nearly 90% of the surveyed groups believe that the effects of administrative law enforcement and judicial protection have been further improved.

[2022-09-06 15:04]

[Zhang Zhicheng] In terms of improving quality and efficiency, the effect of rapid intellectual property protection has further emerged. Up to now, the average review cycle for my country's high-value invention patents and trademark registrations has been reduced by half compared with before the institutional reform. Since the reform of the approval of the use of special signs for geographical indications was launched, relevant matters can be completed within 7 working days at the fastest. The 60 intellectual property protection centers that have been established provide "one-stop" services integrating rapid pre-examination, rapid confirmation of rights, and rapid rights protection, greatly improving the efficiency of collaborative protection. Over the past ten years, the satisfaction of various rights holders has increased significantly, with scores increasing by 16.49 points.

In terms of helping to expand opening up, the environment for intellectual property protection and protection is more favorable. Whether it is the intellectual property rights of Chinese-funded or foreign-funded enterprises, the Chinese government always treats them equally and protects them equally. In 2021, the number of invention patent authorizations and trademark registrations obtained by foreign applicants in China increased by 23% and 5% respectively year-on-year, fully demonstrating their recognition of China's intellectual property protection environment. In 2021, the satisfaction scores of joint ventures and foreign-invested enterprises on intellectual property protection increased by 4.52 points and 2.36 points respectively compared with the early stage of the "13th Five-Year Plan".

[2022-09-06 15:05]

[Zhang Zhicheng] In the past ten years, social satisfaction with intellectual property protection has crossed two major levels: 70 points and 80 points. The improvement in "quantity" is clearly visible, and it also fully demonstrates China's work in the field of intellectual property and its commitment to intellectual property. The emphasis and achievements achieved have gained more recognition from the whole society, reflecting the "qualitative" change in the protection of intellectual property rights. The "Outline", "Plan" and "Opinions on Strengthening Intellectual Property Protection" clearly state the development goal of "by 2025, social satisfaction with intellectual property protection will reach and maintain a high level". In the next step, we will continue to put social recognition and people's satisfaction first, conduct further research and thinking, make good use of survey results, continue to track the satisfaction of market entities from multiple dimensions, and work with relevant departments to comprehensively strengthen intellectual property protection and effectively Improve the level of intellectual property protection and welcome the successful convening of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China with outstanding results.

The above is the relevant situation of the 2021 Social Satisfaction Survey on Intellectual Property Protection. Next, I invite you to ask questions. When asking questions, media friends please inform your news organization first.

[2022-09-06 15:06]

[Reporter from China National Radio] The spokesperson just mentioned that the State Intellectual Property Office completed the first batch of major administrative adjudication cases on patent infringement disputes in less than four months. Can you briefly introduce the relevant situation? How will we better leverage the role of administrative adjudication of major patent infringement disputes and protect intellectual property rights in the future?

[2022-09-06 15:07]

[Zhang Zhicheng] Thank you for your question.

On June 1, 2021, the revised Patent Law was officially implemented, giving the State Intellectual Property Office the central power to protect intellectual property rights in handling patent infringement disputes that have a major impact across the country. This is a major step in implementing the spirit of the Fourth Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China in the field of intellectual property. reform measures. Our bureau attaches great importance to this, studies it carefully, establishes rules and regulations in a timely manner, and forms a working mechanism, striving to give full play to the advantages of rapid and professional administrative adjudication and safeguard the rights and interests of obligees in a timely and effective manner.

[2022-09-06 15:21]

[Director of Jiangsu Provincial Intellectual Property Office Zhi Suping] Thank you for your question. The Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights and integrates it into the overall plan of high-quality development of the province. The Provincial Intellectual Property Office takes the initiative in accordance with its responsibilities and takes better, stricter, stronger and greater measures to protect business The environment continues to be optimized. We have mainly done the following four aspects of work.

The first is to create a comprehensive and better policy environment.

Thanks.

[2022-09-06 15:24]

[Bauhinia Magazine Reporter] Currently, the State Intellectual Property Office has approved the construction of 60 intellectual property protection centers. Why should we build an intellectual property protection center? What role can the protection center play in the rapid collaborative protection of intellectual property rights?

[2022-09-06 15:25]

[Zhang Zhicheng] Thank you for your question. At present, my country's economic development has shifted from a stage of rapid growth to a stage of high-quality development. As the core resource and important support for the development of strategic emerging industries, intellectual property has become an indispensable means of competition for industries to deeply integrate into the global industrial chain, innovation chain, and value chain. At the same time, intellectual property rights are characterized by strong professionalism and high complexity, and the IP rights protection cycle is long and the cost is high. As the pace of innovation and development of my country's corporate entities accelerates, the demand for rapid, coordinated and efficient protection of intellectual property rights has increased significantly.

Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the State Intellectual Property Office, together with local governments and relevant departments, has continuously improved the rapid collaborative protection mechanism for intellectual property rights, jointly built intellectual property protection centers with local governments, and provided “one-stop” intellectual property rights protection for provincial and municipal advantageous industries. Protective Services. At present, 60 intellectual property protection centers have been established in 26 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country, including 8 protection centers in the western region. The Intellectual Property Protection Center is an important carrier for realizing rapid and collaborative protection of intellectual property rights. On the one hand, it provides rapid pre-examination, rapid rights confirmation and rapid rights protection for key industries in the region, and promotes the comprehensive acceleration of the acquisition of rights and the protection of rights and interests of innovative entities; on the other hand, Provide comprehensive services such as patent navigation, assistance in administrative adjudication, and rights protection assistance, provide a platform for judicial case handling, arbitration mediation, industry self-discipline, etc., and help achieve the integration and coordinated protection of intellectual property protection resources.

[2022-09-06 15:26]

[Zhang Zhicheng] At present, the business of the protection center is constantly expanding, pilot work such as pre-examination of patent rights evaluation reports is effectively promoted, and trademark acceptance windows and trademark roving tribunals are gradually being established. Rapid protection, coordinated protection, and efficient protection of intellectual property rights, relying on the "one entrance, multiple channels" rapid dispute resolution model of the protection center are being accelerated. According to statistics, in the first half of this year, the National Intellectual Property Protection Center completed about 16,000 rights protection-related cases and accepted 64,000 patent pre-examination cases, effectively meeting the needs of innovative enterprises, and service satisfaction remained at a high level and continued to improve. .

In the next step, our office will thoroughly implement the relevant decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, further improve the rapid collaborative protection mechanism for intellectual property rights, optimize the layout and construction of the intellectual property protection center, strengthen operational management, promote capacity improvement, promote business expansion, and give full play to the "one The one-stop comprehensive service platform gathers resources and advantages to better serve innovation entities and the public and make new and greater contributions.
