On 11th April 2018, the State Intellectual Property Office publishes the Chinese Patent Statistics Summary Data 2017 on its official website. Based on the data of the report, this article will show the Chinese condition at first, then the basic information of patent in 2017 and ultimately the situation of districts and companies with five figures.
The analysis can help readers to understand China Patent in 2017. Also it helps the districts and companies to find their achievement and shortcoming. One the one hand, they can understand the position of the patent level in China and search a timely manner to refer. On the other hand, they can analyze the various components of patent in addition to elevate the comprehensive level.
1. The number of Chinese patent applications increasing steadily
Figure 1As you can see on the figure 1, the progress of creative patent is smooth from 2012. The number of Chinese patent applications has steadily increased in 2017. This is reflected in the number of domestic invention patent applications which is 15.4% higher than 2016 respectively.
Many reasons attribute to this result, the hard work of individual and society, the adhering encouragement from government. For example, in the recent three years, various plans are proposed to guarantee patent development by government. All of them have contributed to the improvement of intellectual property in quantity,quality, and efficiency.
2. Enterprises on the main partof innovation
The types of patents are divided into three parts: invention, utility model and design. The total application is up to 3697,845 in 2017 while 45.6% of them are utility model and 37.4% are located in invention. It seems the invention has the lowest passing rate.
Figure 2About 2900 services make the application to patent last year. Among them, 1200 services are enterprises and 900 services are universities. As for the rest 800 services, they are individuals, researches and organizations. That means, about 41.4% of the services are enterprises. Enterprises are still on the key part of domestic innovation. And it is even further consolidated last year.
Figure 33. Significant difference ingeographical distribution of patent
In 2017,Guangdong, Beijing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shandong, Sichuan, Shanghai, Fujian,Anhui, and Hubei rank the top ten in the patent comprehensive strength. Guangdong, Beijing and Jiangsu ranked in the top 3 the eastern region. The first three in the central and northeast regions are Anhui, Hubei and Hunan. Top 3 in the western are Sichuan, Chongqing, and Shanxi.
This ranking reflects the difference in geographical distribution of China's patent. Seven of the top ten provinces are located in the eastern part of nation land, which shows that the patent of each province is closely related to its economic and social development.
Figure 44. SGCC ranking the top among enterprises
From the figure 5,it is easy to realize the top ten enterprises authorized the domestic invention patent are: SCGG, Huawei, Sinopec, BOE, ZTE, Lenovo, Gree, OPPO, CNPC and SMIC. SCGG(State Grid Corporation) which leading the first has shown a good example for companies to protect the Intellectual property.
SCGG always pay attention to the work of patent protecting. Not only does it try long-term efforts to promote software copyright, it also establishes the legal system to aegis their trademarks and clarify the various issues in the intellectual property law protection work. Apart from SCGG, Huawei, Sinopec and other enterprises on the ranking also attach great importance to patent inspiring and protection.
Figure 5China Patent in 2017 has a good development. The number of Chinese patent applications increases steadily. From the location, Beijing, Guangdong and Jiangsu are the three big innovation companies. From the type of service, enterprises are the top group in applying the patent and the top ten enterprises are led by SCGG, Huawei as well as Sinopec.
We can look at its good side from the data, but should not forget the bad side. Many province sand enterprises still need to work hard to promote the patent. We should realize that there is still a patent gap between China and foreign countries. Just as the President Xi say, Innovation wins the future. Only when China becomes a powerful innovation country, can we realize the Chinese dream.
