2024-07-03

　　As of the end of 2023,the scale of China's intellectual property(IP)talent has increased from 690,000 at the end of the"13th Five-Year Plan"to 860,000.Recently,the China National Intellectual Property Administration(CNIPA)held a rou-tine press conference to discuss the status quo of IP talent.

　　Building a talent hub,advancing to a higher standard

　　Zhang Zhicheng,Director General of the Personnel Department at the CNIPA,introduced the"14th Five-Year Plan for Intellectual Property Tal-ent",which focuses on key talent proj-ects in high-level IP talent hubs.Pro-active efforts are being made to build high-level IP talent hubs in Beijing,Shanghai,and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.Ini-tial successes have been achieved in perfecting top-level designs,improv-ing the autonomous talent training sys-tem,promoting closer talent exchange and cooperation,and facilitating clear career development paths for talent.

　　Cai Xin,Deputy Director General of the Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office,shared that Beijing has been conducting evaluations for advanced IP professional titles,with a hundred IP talents in various fields re-ceiving advanced titles during the"14th Five-Year Plan".The focus has been on using the IP services industry as a breakthrough point,selecting tal-ents from top patent agencies,and es-tablishing a National Laboratory IP Expert Advisory Committee to issue national laboratory IP management guidelines and promote a list of 68 IP service tasks.

　　In Shanghai,Tongji University hasregularly hosted the World Intellectu- alProperty Organization(WIPO)-Tongji IP Master's Program and the Chinese Government IP Master's Pro-gram with the support of the CNIPA,fostering close international talent ex-changes.In Guangdong,the construc-tion of a national IP training base has been completed,hosting administra-tive personnel retraining and key sec-tor training in big data and integrated circuits.

　　"By the end of 2023,Beijing,Shanghai,and Guangdong each had a per capita high-value invention patent ownership more than double the na-tional average,"Zhang stated.The CNIPA will continue to squarely pro-mote the construction of high-level IP talent hubs,leading and driving the development of high-level IP talent teams nationwide,contributing IP strength to high-level self-reliance and self-improvement in science and technology.

　　Cultivating specialized talent for higher level development

　　Since the"14th Five-Year Plan",IP talent training has been continuous-ly strengthened,systematically car-ried out over 150 retraining sessions for local IP administrative personnel,and enhanced job performance capa-bilities.Focusing on cutting-edge top-ics,training in urgent talent needs has been intensified around new fields and business models such as big data and artificial intelligence,aiding in the cultivation and development of new quality productive forces.Train-ing channels have been expanded,on-going remote IP training course con-struction has been effectively carried out,and training coverage has been continuously extended,achieving sig-nificant results.

　　The China Intellectual Property Training Center,as the sole national-level training institution within the IP system,has played a crucial role.Liu Jian,Deputy Director General(Act-ing Head)of the China Intellectual Property Training Center,reported that in the past four years,the center has organized relevant training aligned with national major strategies,training nearly 2,000 participants;it has organized 19 types of internation-al training sessions,extensively con-ducting grassroots exchanges on IP.

　　"Tsinghua University is currently exploring the establishment of a'Pro-fessional Master's Program in Intellec-tual Property',integrating IP with sci-ence,engineering,management,and economics to cultivate interdisciplin-ary IP talents.Concurrently,we are ac-tively enhancing the internationaliza-tion of our talent training efforts.In November 2023,in cooperation with the WIPO,we signed an agreement to launch a new'Intellectual Property and Innovation Policy'joint master's program,which will start recruiting globally this year,with the first cohort of students enrolling in September,"introduced Zhou Guangquan,Dean of the School of Law at Tsinghua Univer-sity.

　　Leveraging think tank,highlighting high-end anddistinctive features

　　 Modern Chinese-style think tanks are an important component of the na-tion's soft power.The CNIPA fully uti-lizes the role of think tanks,continu-ously pushing for the specialization and high-quality development of high-end and distinctive think tanks.

　　In March of this year,the fifth ses-sion of the National Intellectual Prop-erty Expert Advisory Committee was established,comprising 48 renowned experts,including nine academicians from the Chinese Academy of Scienc-es and Chinese Academy of Engineer-ing.These experts come from various IP fields,and a new batch of experts in new fields and business models such as big data,artificial intelli-gence,new materials,and new energy have been incorporated.

　　"This session of the expert commit-tee further established a mechanism for expert advice,and has formed mul-tiple expert recommendations around cutting-edge hot topics such as poli-cies on standard-essential patents and traditional Chinese medicine IP protection,"Zhang explained."Since the'14th Five-Year Plan',committee members have participated in over 700 various IP tasks involving nearly 1,200 person-times,supporting the comprehensive work across the entire IP chain."(by Li Yangfang)
