Among them, 20 19 and 2020 are the years of recruitment surge (because of the task of improving quality and efficiency), and the recruitment plan will be reduced in 20021year, and the situation of each center is different, but the number of resignations in the centers that have changed jobs in recent years is basically single digits.

The rapid development of patent applications in Chinese mainland began in 2008, but in the ten-year development process of 20 18, the number of patent applications increased particularly rapidly, and the total number of applications quickly jumped to the top in the world, far ahead.

The backlog of patent examination is large, and the backlog of invention patent applications is about 2-3 years. Even so, the proportion of real innovators participating in patent applications is still very low, mainly because the value of patent applications in this decade mainly comes from policy dividends and honorary brand values. There is still a lack of channels for patents to realize their value through market-oriented business practices.

Since 20 18, the market environment has been dominated by purification, which is beneficial to the interests of innovators and has an obvious trend of encouraging innovation (if you are interested, you can go to Taobao to initiate infringement complaints and feel it). In the long run, this will continue to encourage innovators to apply for patents.

But in the short term, people who eat crabs need to try first and form a demonstration effect, so the short-term growth is not obvious. At the same time, affected by the policy adjustment, the application behavior under the original patent application motivation will be reduced in a cliff-like manner. Therefore, there will be a short-term cliff-like decline in patent applications, and then it will continue to increase. And 20 19-2020 is the bottom of the application. As far as the examiner's growth process is concerned, the maturity of a new person needs 1-2 years.

In my opinion, the demand for the number of examiners exists, but it will stabilize in about two years, and the demand in the later period is mainly to meet the dynamic balance and a small amount of growth.
