Significant strides in IP in China's central region
China's central region includes Shanxi, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, and Hunan provinces. China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) recently convened a press conference in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, introducing initiatives and advancements in leveraging intellectual property (IP) to boost the rise of the central region in the new era.
Fostering positive innovation environment through comprehensive IP protection
Guo Wen, Spokesperson for CNIPA and Director General of the Intellectual Property Protection Department, detailed efforts to improve the business and innovation environment in the central region. CNIPA has supported the establishment of high-standard national IP protection demonstration zones in Hefei, Zhengzhou, Wuhan, and Changsha, raising the legal governance quality of IP protection. Thirteen national IP protection centers and five rapid enforcement centers have been established across the region. In the first half of this year, these centers handled 3,136 IP protection cases, providing businesses with convenient, efficient, and cost-effective channels for safeguarding their IP rights.
Shanxi Intellectual Property Protection Center offers patent pre-examination services for companies in the new energy and advanced equipment manufacturing sectors. To date, the center has registered 2,698 companies, significantly shortening the patent grant cycle and effectively protecting the IP rights of Shanxi-based companies, according to Wu Xiaoqin, Deputy Director of Shanxi Intellectual Property Office.
Wang Xiaoqing, a second-class counsel at Jiangxi Intellectual Property Office, highlighted that Jiangxi has established 261 grassroots IP workstations across its counties and districts. IP protection has effectively reached the grassroots level.
Anhui has launched a range of measures to develop its administrative adjudication system, aiming for one-stop dispute resolution. Hubei has established a four-in-one policy coordination mechanism for administrative adjudication and initiated pilot projects in 14 cities and counties (districts) to standardize the administrative adjudication process for resolving patent infringement disputes.
Strengthening utilization and enhancing the value of IP
In its ongoing effort to enhance the benefits of IP utilization, CNIPA has guided the central region in steadily advancing the special campaign for patent commercialization and utilization, achieving notable results.
Cheng Yin, Director of Anhui Intellectual Property Office, reported that Anhui has completed the assessment of 33,000 patents from 93 universities and research institutions, with 11,000 patents now available for transformation in a dedicated resource pool. The province has also guided small and medium-sized enterprises in deeply engaging in the revitalization of patents from these universities and research institutions. So far, over 8,000 companies have been involved in this revitalization process.
Wu Feng, Deputy Director of Hunan Intellectual Property Office, said, "In April this year, Hunan completed an assessment of 42,000 patents from universities and research institutions. Central South University achieved patent transformations valued at a total of 200 million yuan during the inventory process."
Liu Huaizhang, a member of the Party Group of Henan Intellectual Property Office, explained that Henan has proactively planned commercialization projects focused on leading companies in key industrial chains, aiming to develop strong IP companies. Henan currently boasts 320 national IP demonstration companies and 921 provincial strong IP companies, ensuring comprehensive coverage of IP in key industrial chains.
Jiangxi has established a coordinated approach across provincial, city, and county (district) levels, developing a comprehensive IP financial policy system that includes pledge loan interest subsidies, financing cost subsidies, and risk-sharing and compensation mechanisms. This coordinated system has paved the way for rapid IP-pledge financing and has led to the exploration and innovation of IP-related financial products and services. From 2019 to 2023, the annual registered amount for IP-pledge financing in Jiangxi increased significantly from 1.2 billion yuan to over 12.7 billion yuan.
Vitalizing regional development with geographical indications
The central region, with its unique location, abundant resources, and favorable environmental conditions, is rich in specialty agricultural products. CNIPA has supported the establishment of 25 national demonstration zones for the protection of geographical indication (GI) products and has advanced the implementation of eight GI protection projects to develop characteristic GI-related industries.
Cheng Hao, Deputy Director of Hubei Intellectual Property Office, explained that the bureau, in collaboration with Hubei Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs and Hubei Administration for Market Regulation, has taken a comprehensive approach to promoting the healthy and rapid development of the GI industry. The measures include enhancing brand development, improving product quality, purifying the development environment, strengthening service support, and accelerating industrial cultivation. By June this year, Hubei had registered 165 GI products and 537 GI trademarks, ranking second and fourth in the country, respectively.
Inspired by the "Sangzhi model", Hunan has strengthened policy guidance by integrating GI protection into city and prefecture performance assessments, business environment evaluations, and practical work supervision incentives. The province has also set and amended 41 local standards for GI products and independently developed the "Hunan Geographical Indication Information Inquiry System" to continuously support the growth of local characteristic industries.
Shanxi is prioritizing the development of the GI industry and the implementation of GI protection and promotion projects as keys to forging a new path for transformational development. The "Datong Day Lily", a renowned local specialty, has spurred Datong to actively integrate agriculture, culture, and tourism. This day lily has contributed to an increase of over 4,100 yuan in the per capita annual income of the permanent population in the main producing areas.
Driven by robust initiatives across various areas, the direct annual output value of GIs in the central region reached 239.52 billion yuan in 2023, accounting for about a quarter of the country's total, effectively unlocking regional economic development potential. Moreover, the central region has emphasized enhanced collaboration by establishing a cooperative mechanism for the administrative protection of IP. It has organized various events, such as the High-Value Patent Competition of the Six Central Provinces and the Geographical Indication Brand Cultivation Innovation Competition, aimed at collectively promoting the rise of the central region.

中国中部地区包括山西、安徽、江西、河南、湖北、湖南六省。近日,中国国家知识产权局在河南郑州举办新闻发布会,介绍知识产权助力新时代中部地区崛起的有关工作举措和进展成效。
多维保护,营造良好创新环境
中国国家知识产权局新闻发言人、知识产权保护司司长郭雯介绍,为不断优化中部地区营商环境和创新环境,中国国家知识产权局支持合肥、郑州、武汉、长沙高标准建设国家知识产权保护示范区,提升知识产权保护工作法治化水平。在中部地区建设13家国家级知识产权保护中心和5家快速维权中心。今年上半年,这些保护中心和快速维权中心共受理知识产权维权案件3136件,为各类经营主体提供了便捷、高效、低成本的维权渠道。
山西省知识产权局副局长武小勤介绍,山西省知识产权保护中心对新能源和现代装备制造业两个领域的企业提供专利预审服务,目前累计备案企业2698家,大幅缩短专利授权周期,有力护航晋企知识产权源头保护。
江西省知识产权局二级巡视员王小庆介绍,江西在各县区建立了261个知识产权基层工作站,实现了知识产权保护工作向基层的深扎根。
安徽打出行政裁决制度建设组合拳,探索一站式纠纷化解;湖北构建四位一体行政裁决政策协同机制,在全省14个市、县(区)开展专利侵权纠纷行政裁决规范化建设试点。
强化运用,提升知识产权价值
为持续提升知识产权使用效益,中国国家知识产权局指导中部地区扎实推进专利转化运用专项行动,取得明显成效。
安徽省知识产权局局长程胤介绍,安徽目前已完成全部93家高校和科研机构的3.3万件专利筛选评价工作,其中1.1万件专利进入可转化专利资源库。同时,引导中小企业深度参与高校和科研机构存量专利盘活工作,目前参与该省存量专利盘活的企业已超过8000家。
“湖南于今年4月全面完成了高校和科研机构4.2万件存量专利盘点,同时促成中南大学在盘点过程中实现累计作价2亿元的专利转化。”湖南省知识产权局副局长吴峰介绍。
河南省知识产权局党组成员刘怀章介绍,河南积极围绕重点产业链的链主企业、领军企业等,科学谋划转化项目,培育重点产业链知识产权强企。目前,河南共拥有国家知识产权优势示范企业320家,省级知识产权强企921家,实现了重点产业链知识产权强企全覆盖。
江西形成了省市县(区)三级联动,覆盖质押贷款贴息、融资费用补贴、风险分担和补偿等多环节的知识产权金融政策体系,协同打造知识产权质押融资快速通道,探索创新知识产权金融产品与服务。2019年至2023年,江西省年度知识产权质押融资登记金额从12亿元增长到超过127亿元。
用活地标,注入区域发展活力
中部地区的区位、资源、环境禀赋得天独厚,特色农产品资源丰富。中国国家知识产权局支持建设25个国家地理标志产品保护示范区,推进8个地理标志保护工程项目实施,发展地理标志特色产业。
湖北省知识产权局副局长程浩介绍,该局联合省农业农村厅、省市场监督管理局等部门,从加强品牌培育、提升产品品质、净化发展环境、强化服务支撑、加速产业培育等方面全方位推动地理标志产业健康快速发展。截至今年6月,湖北省拥有地理标志产品165个,地理标志商标537件,数量分别居全国第二和第四。
在“桑植样本”的激励带动下,湖南加强政策引导,将地理标志保护纳入对市州绩效考核、营商环境评价和真抓实干督查激励内容;强化标准引领,先后制修订41项地理标志产品地方标准;自主开发建设“湖南省地理标志信息查询系统”,持续赋能地方特色产业发展。
山西正将发展地理标志产业、实施地理标志保护工程和地理标志运用促进工程作为转型发展蹚新路的重要突破口。以“大同黄花”为例,在这一金字招牌的带动下,大同积极拓展农业、文化、旅游三产结合。仅黄花一项,就为主要产区常住人口的人均年收入增加4100余元。
在各地的有力推进下,2023年,中部地区地理标志直接年产值达2395.2亿元,约占全国的1/4,有效激发了区域经济发展潜力。此外,中部地区注重加强协同联动,建立起知识产权行政保护协作机制,联合举办了中部六省高价值专利大赛、地理标志品牌培育创新大赛等多种形式的交流合作活动,共同推动中部地区崛起。(王晶)
