Provide strong property rights protection to stimulate innovation vitality

Protecting intellectual property is protecting innovation. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights is the most important content of improving the property rights protection system, and it is also the greatest incentive to improve my country's economic competitiveness.

Facing the future, we should continue to raise awareness of the importance of intellectual property protection, strive to improve a more stringent intellectual property protection system, increase the punishment of infringement and illegal acts, and improve the ability and level of intellectual property protection.

530000 invention patents authorized, domestic enterprises with valid invention patents increased by 33000 over the previous year, domestic applicants submitted PCT international patent applications increased by 17.9 year-on-year, the number of invention patents per 10,000 population reached 15.8 ...... The 2020 statistics released by the State Intellectual Property Office not long ago show that China's main intellectual property indicators are in line with expectations, the quality and efficiency of China's intellectual property development have improved, and the construction of a strong intellectual property country has achieved remarkable results.

In recent years, with the in-depth implementation of the innovation-driven development strategy, my country's overall innovation capabilities have continued to increase. The global innovation index ranking has jumped from the 29th place in 2015 to the 14th place in 2020, making it the only middle to enter the top 30. Income economy. At the same time, the concept of intellectual property rights is becoming more and more popular, knowledge payment and brand consumption have become people's habits, and the social fashion of respecting knowledge and creation has gradually formed.

Intellectual property rights are the exclusive rights of intellectual labor fruits created by human beings in social practice, and are also an important source of social wealth. At present, China is changing from a big country of introducing intellectual property rights to a big country of creating intellectual property rights, and the work of intellectual property rights is changing from pursuing quantity to improving quality. China is speeding up the formulation of the intellectual property power strategy for 2035 and the "14th Five-Year Plan" for intellectual property rights. To build an intellectual property power, on the one hand, we must proceed from the national strategic height and the requirements of entering the new development stage, comprehensively strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, promote the construction of a modern economic system, stimulate the innovation vitality of the whole society, and promote the construction of a new development pattern; on the other hand, Let the focus of patent creation continue to tilt towards high-value patents, promote the transformation of innovation results into actual productivity, and further play the supporting role of intellectual property in promoting high-quality development.

Protecting intellectual property is protecting innovation. Strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights is the most important content of improving the property rights protection system, and it is also the greatest incentive to improve my country's economic competitiveness. Although my country's intellectual property protection has made great progress, the phenomenon of infringement still exists in a certain range, and the problem of high cost for rights holders needs to be solved urgently. Facing the future, we should continue to raise awareness of the importance of intellectual property protection, strive to improve a more stringent intellectual property protection system, increase the punishment of infringement and illegal acts, and improve the ability and level of intellectual property protection.

Intellectual property is linked to innovation at one end and to the market at the other. From the current point of view, my country's intellectual property rights still have the problem of "big but not strong, many but not excellent". There are not many high-quality key core patents, and the layout in some areas is still insufficient. With a long-term view, we should strive to break through the "last kilometer" of the transformation and application of intellectual property rights, solve the problem of "two skins" between science and technology and economy, and make it a bridge and link for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements into real productive forces.

Innovation is endless, and the intellectual property cause has a long way to go. It is necessary to give better play to the key role of intellectual property as a strategic resource for national development and a core element of international competitiveness, accelerate the construction of an intellectual property power, and promote the realization of the goal of building a world power in science and technology.
