CNIPA’s head, Shen Changyu, stated that China has solidified its status as a prominent intellectual property (IP) nation. He also highlighted China’s consistent top global ranking in international patent applications through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) for four consecutive years.
Shen pointed out that patent-intensive industries contribute 12.44 percent to the GDP, and the copyright industry contributes 7.41 percent, which has significantly boosted the high-quality development of the economy.
Furthermore, according to the World Intellectual Property Organization’s latest Global Innovation Index for 2023, China is ranked 12th. For the first time, China has the highest number of top 100 science and technology innovation clusters worldwide.
Shen emphasized China’s ongoing commitment to protecting IP rights, citing the establishment of a robust punitive compensation system for IP rights infringement, the creation of 103 national IP protection centers and rapid rights protection centers, and the initiation of national IP protection demonstration zones.
China is also deepening its international collaboration on IP, including the mutual recognition and protection of 244 geographical indication products in cooperation with the European Union.
