The China Patent Award is the highest award in the field of intellectual property in my country. Why do Chinese patent awards frequently fall in Shenzhen? The reporter conducted in-depth interviews with award-winning companies to explore the secret behind why Shenzhen has become a major recipient of China's patent gold medals.

Advantageous companies seize global strategic commanding heights

Among the companies that won the China Patent Gold Award this time, there are two "familiar faces" - Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. and ZTE Corporation. Both companies have won the China Patent Gold Award many times. Under the protection of patents, the company has successfully established strategic commanding heights in the industrial and technological fields.

The award-winning patent of Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. located in Shenzhen is called "a radio frequency receiver and receiving method", which is mainly used in mobile terminals such as 4G/5G mobile phones. "After the application of this patent, chip sales reached nearly 10 billion yuan!" According to the patent inventor Yi Min, the award-winning patent was quickly industrialized after it was proposed, and has been fully used in all generations of 4G/ 5G mobile communication terminal radio frequency chip. These radio frequency chips, as an important part of Huawei's HiSilicon Kirin and Barong mobile communication chips, are installed in various mobile communication terminal equipment such as Huawei Mate series and P series, as well as CPE, and are widely sold around the world. Up to now, more than 500 million radio frequency chips using this patented technology have been shipped, achieving chip sales of nearly 10 billion yuan.

"Innovation is supported by intellectual property rights." Kang Wei, deputy director of Huawei's Intellectual Property Department, said that Huawei's R&D investment in 2021 reached 142.7 billion yuan, accounting for 22.4% of annual revenue. The highest level of the year. Huawei currently ranks second among global companies in R&D investment, investing more than 20 billion yuan in basic research every year in recent years. It is precisely because of Huawei's continued large-scale investment in innovative research and development that Huawei has become one of the most important patent holders in the world and the company with the largest number of patent authorizations in China. In 2021, Huawei is the fifth largest patentee in the United States and the largest number of applications in Europe.

ZTE's gold medal patent "Switching Method and Device" is the company's 10th gold medal won in the China Patent Awards. According to the patent inventor Shi Xiaojuan, this patent is used to solve the service quality management problem when terminals switch between different base stations in the 5G system. The award-winning patent is a required technology for 5G standards and has been widely used in commercial 5G base stations around the world. In addition, the award-winning patent is also compatible with future 6G networks, and it can be expected that it will continue to generate higher economic value in the future.

"R&D is the lifeblood of an enterprise's technological innovation and growth, and innovation is the soul of an enterprise's progress and development. ZTE Corporation's continuous pursuit of excellence is an inevitable choice and the only way to participate in the brutal international competition in the communications industry." Deputy Director of the Intellectual Property Department of ZTE Corporation Tong Xin said that in the intellectual property operation business, ZTE has obtained reasonable R&D returns through various means such as patent licensing and patent transfer, and has fed back innovation. ZTE currently has more than 85,000 global patent applications and a total of approximately 43,000 global authorized patents over the years.

A new force of innovation breaks the monopoly of foreign products

The reason why Shenzhen's economy is so dynamic is that in addition to a number of "giant" companies, there are also a large number of "hidden champions". Shenzhen Aowo Medical New Technology Development Co., Ltd. of the Great Medical Group, which won the China Appearance Design Gold Award for the first time, is a leader in the segment and has become an innovative force in Shenzhen.

Due to its cold mechanical appearance and monotonous treatment environment, traditional radiotherapy equipment adds a bit of tension and fear to cancer patients who are physically and mentally exhausted, desperate and helpless. So how can you make treatment easier for cancer patients?

"This design introduces humanistic care into the design of radiotherapy products to reflect care for patients." Feng Yong, general manager of Aowo, said that the winning project adheres to the design concept of "big medical science and technology cares for life", thickening its essence while simplifying its shape, and integrating With a personalized treatment environment and ultimate technological experience, the space capsule is moved into the treatment room, allowing patients to enjoy first-class treatment. Reasonable ergonomic design makes treatment easier for patients and more convenient for doctors to use.

Feng Yong said that the research and development of large-scale high-end medical equipment has the characteristics of long cycle and high cost. Enterprises have to continuously invest a lot of resources in research and development, but there are no results in the short term, which is a great test for the enterprise and the R&D team. However, if it is beneficial to patients and beneficial to society, it has the value and significance of persistence.

Ovo has always attached great importance to intellectual property rights since its establishment in 1994. As of June 30 this year, the group has applied for more than 1,000 patents, of which invention patents account for 40%, making it a leader in the global radiotherapy industry. Aowo has adhered to the principle of innovation for many years, and a number of independently developed gamma knife products are at the international leading level, promoting the first import substitution of the gamma knife category among large-scale medical equipment. The cost of Gamma Knife treatment has been significantly reduced, helping to solve the problem of expensive cancer treatment in my country.

Shenzhen has summarized its development priorities into 20 key strategic emerging industry segments and 8 key future industry development directions. As a member of the strategic emerging industries, Shenzhen New Industry Biomedical Engineering Co., Ltd.'s patent "An isoluminol derivative and its preparation method and application" won the silver award. This silver medal is of high quality and the results achieved are impressive. This patented technology mainly involves a new type of isoluminol derivative. Currently, all 154 chemiluminescence detection reagents of the company have applied this patented technology. Since its application in 2017, sales revenue has accumulated to 7.5274 billion yuan.

“My experience in R&D for more than 20 years has taught me a profound truth: core technology cannot be bought, let alone stolen through shortcuts. The only way is to rely on independent research and development; if the core technology is not in your own hands, the product will be in the market. If we lack core competitiveness, we will have no pricing power. Sooner or later, we will be choked by others!" Rao Wei, patent inventor and chairman of New Industrial Biotech, lamented.

There are systems and actions to protect intellectual property rights

Why has Shenzhen become the largest recipient of China’s patent awards every year? Kang Wei believes that Shenzhen, as a model city for the construction of a strong national intellectual property city, has a superior intellectual property creation environment, allowing companies to develop and innovate independently.

Tong Xin said that in terms of policies, Shenzhen has strong and scientific and reasonable support for enterprises, listens to the voice of the market, is forward-looking, and is pragmatic and practical. Such as launching new intellectual property legal protection pilot projects and improving the system for protecting digital intellectual property rights and interests such as Internet information. Shenzhen has strong protection and enforcement based on system construction, providing a strong guarantee for enterprises.

Li Fei, a member of the CPPCC and chairman of Shenzhen Gaozhiliang Intellectual Property Operation Co., Ltd., said that Shenzhen continues to build a domestically leading comprehensive intellectual property management system that is in line with international standards, a smart, efficient, coordinated and linked intellectual property law enforcement system, and innovations that benefit enterprises supported by the government. The ecological system, the all-round and all-category intellectual property service system, and the professional and diversified overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance system have created a good environment for enterprises to conduct research and development, independent innovation, and rapid growth with peace of mind.

It is understood that since this year, our city has fully implemented the intellectual property strategy and innovation-driven development strategy, becoming the first batch of national demonstration cities for the construction of strong intellectual property cities, and continuing to inject strong momentum into Shenzhen's innovation-driven development. During this period, the "Shenzhen Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization "14th Five-Year Plan" Development Plan" was issued, and the top-level design of intellectual property rights was comprehensively strengthened; Shenzhen's state-owned enterprise patent open licensing pilot platform was built to promote the patents of small, medium and micro enterprises in key parks and strategic industrial clusters. Transformation and docking, in-depth implementation of the special plan for patent transformation; comprehensive implementation of the plan to strengthen intellectual property protection, and further cultivate more fertile soil for innovation.
