On September 28, Chinese Ambassador to the United States Qin Gang tweeted that in the past decade, the overall ratings of China's IPR protection have increased significantly. The Chinese government is confident & capable of ensuring equal fair & strict IPR protection for companies from all over the world.
"The number of patents for inventions and trademarks granted to foreign applicants in 2021 grew by 23% and 5% year on year respectively, showing their recognition of China's IPR protection environment. Joint ventures and foreign enterprises' satisfaction with IPR protection in 2021 was up 4.52 points and 2.36 points from the beginning of the '13th five-year' period respectively," a set of data recently released by the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) also reveals acknowledgement of joint ventures and foreign enterprises over China's IPR protection environment.
Scientific and precise legislation, timely and powerful law enforcement
China's social satisfaction with IPR protection reached a record high of 80.61 points in 2021, up 16.92 points from 2012 when the survey was launched, exceeding the 80-point threshold for two straight years and maintaining a healthy momentum. To Zhang Zhicheng, spokesperson for the CNIPA and Director General of Intellectual Property Protection Department at a CNIPA regular press conference on September 6, these changes exhibit China's significant results in the strict, broad, fast and collaborative protection of IPR.
According to the results of the 2021 survey, among the five first-level indicators of the satisfaction evaluation system, social satisfaction with legislations and policies scored the highest at 83.26 points. Zhang said China had attached great importance to IPR protection and designed a grand scheme for IPR development in the recent decade. Under such top-level framework, China has imprinted such strictness of IPR protection into the formulation and revision of laws and policies, released laws and regulations frequently, and kept heightening sanctions on IPR infringement to protect right holders and innovators.
A slew of departmental regulations formulated and revised by the CNIPA in recent years epitomize the dynamic response to public concerns and safeguard the lawful rights and interests of rights holders and the public. At the press conference, according to He Yuefeng, Deputy Director General of the CNIPA's Legal Affairs Department, with respect to the standards for patent and trademark examination and trial, in the revised draft of the Patent Examination Guideline and the Trademark Examination and Adjudication Guideline, the CNIPA provided for the applicable conditions of abnormal patent applications and malicious trademark registrations and application not for the purpose of use, to effectively deal with the above-mentioned behavior. As an important legal basis for identifying and dealing with abnormal patent applications, the Regulations on Standardizing Patent Application, which was revised in 2017 and is now under further revision, will improve the examination and adjudication proceedings, make them more open and transparent, and treat abnormal patent applications more effectively.
Oriented legislation, powerful law enforcement: over the past decade, China has been intensifying the law enforcement protection of IPR. Wang Songlin, Deputy Director General of the Law Enforcement and Inspection Bureau of the China's State Administration for Market Regulation, said at the conference that products concerning the safety of people's health and property are alwasys on the radar of IPR law enforcement in China, and China has been stepping up law enforcement and regularly exposed typical cases of the kind. Data shows social satisfaction with law enforcement protection in China surged from 58.45 points at the beginning of the survey to 80.95 points in 2021, and nearly 90% of the respondents said the effects of administrative law enforcement and judicial protection had been further improved.
Pooling core strength, unblocking "capillaries"
Over the past decade, CNIPA has built 60 IPR protection centers in 26 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China along with localities and relevant departments, providing "one-stop" services for elite industries of provinces (municipalities), including fast-tracked pre-examination, fast determination of rights and fast enforcement of rights. In the first half of this year, the IP protection centers nationwide completed some 16,000 cases of right enforcement, and received 64,000 cases of patent pre-examination, to effectively meet the needs of innovative enterprises, having gained high satisfaction level and maintained the upward momentum in the process.
Over the past decade, social satisfaction with IPR protection in 31 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities) in China, has soared above 70 points and 80 points successively. To Zhang, China's efforts on IPR, the importance it has attached to IPR and the achievements it has made have gained more recognition from the society, which are reflected in the quantitative increase and the qualitative transformation of IPR protection.

9月28日,中国驻美大使秦刚发布推特表示:“过去十年来,中国知识产权保护满意度总体评分显著提高。中国政府有信心也有能力确保世界各地的企业获得公平、严格的知识产权保护”。
近日,中国国家知识产权局公布的一组数据,同样显示了合资企业和外资企业对中国知识产权保护环境的认可:2021年,国外申请人在华取得发明专利授权和商标注册同比分别增长23%和5%,充分说明其对中国知识产权保护环境的认可。2021年,合资企业和外资企业对知识产权保护的满意度得分相对于“十三五”初期分别提升4.52分和2.36分。
立法科学精准 执法及时有力
2021年中国知识产权保护社会满意度达到80.61分,创历史新高,相较于调查启动之初的2012年提高了16.92分,连续两年迈过80分门槛,整体步入良好阶段。在今年9月6日国家知识产权局召开的例行新闻发布会上,中国国家知识产权局新闻发言人、知识产权保护司司长张志成表示,这些变化充分展示了中国知识产权“严保护”“大保护”“快保护”“同保护”方面取得的明显成效。
2021年调查结果显示,在满意度评价体系的五个一级指标中,全社会对法律政策的满意度最高,得分达到83.26分。张志成介绍,这十年,中国高度重视知识产权保护工作,对知识产权事业发展作出重大顶层设计。在顶层设计框架下,中国在法律政策制修订方面进一步彰显知识产权严保护,各类法律法规密集落地,不断加大对知识产权侵权行为的惩处力度,为权利人、创新者护航。
中国国家知识产权局近年来制修订的一系列部门规章,正是积极回应社会公众关注、维护权利人和社会公众合法权益的例子。发布会上,中国国家知识产权局条法司副司长何越峰介绍,在专利商标审查审理标准方面,中国国家知识产权局在《专利审查指南》修改草案和《商标审查审理指南》中,对非正常专利申请行为和不以使用为目的的恶意商标注册申请行为的适用要件作出规定,对上述行为进行有效处理;继2017年修改后、现在正在修改的《关于规范专利申请行为的若干规定》,作为确认和处理非正常专利申请行为的重要法律依据,将完善审查处理程序并使其更加公开透明,更有效应对非正常专利申请行为。
立法有方向,执法有力量。十年来,中国知识产权执法保护力度不断增强。中国国家市场监督管理总局执法稽查局副局长王松林在发布会上介绍,关系人民群众健康和财产安全的商品是中国知识产权执法的关注重点,执法力度不断加大,典型案件定期曝光。数据显示,全社会对中国执法保护的满意度得分从调查初期的58.45分大幅提高到了2021年的80.95分,近九成的受访群体认为行政执法和司法保护效果进一步提升。
集中核心力量 畅通“毛细血管”
十年来,中国国家知识产权局会同地方和相关部门在中国26个省(区、市)建设60家知识产权保护中心,面向省、市优势产业,提供集快速预审、快速确权和快速维权于一体的“一站式”服务。今年上半年,上述知识产权保护中心共完成维权相关案件约1.6万件,受理专利预审案件6.4万件,有效满足了创新型企业的需求,服务满意度保持在较高水平并持续提升。
十年来,中国31个省(区、市)知识产权保护社会满意度得分全面大幅提升,中国知识产权保护社会满意度先后跨越了70分和80分两个大台阶。在张志成看来,中国在知识产权领域开展的工作、对知识产权的重视和取得的成绩获得了全社会更多认可,不仅“量”的提升清晰可见,也体现了知识产权保护工作“质”的转变。(孙迪 张彬彬)
