Not long ago, the Shanghai Patent and Trademark Office accepted a patent consultation commission, and a foreign pharmaceutical company came to consult through a lawyer. Patents in biomedical field in China in recent years, including the number of patent applications, application contents, applicants, etc. , was widely questioned by relevant experts, and finally provided a detailed report.
Judging from the content of the entrusted consultation, this pharmaceutical company has not yet settled in, but it may settle in the next three to five years. ? Chen introduced that in the Shanghai Patent and Trademark Office, such patent consultation is often received. This kind of information war can affect the layout of enterprise strategy from a macro perspective and whether a product needs approval from a micro perspective.
95% of the inventions in the world can be found through patent literature. ? Xie Xitang introduced that according to statistics, using patent documents can save 40% of research time and 60% of research funds. For example, drug research, it takes a long time for foreign pharmaceutical companies to apply for a drug patent to be formally approved. As soon as a drug patent was applied, Indian imitation pharmaceutical factories began to study imitation drugs, which was a big step ahead of China in waiting for the drugs to be officially listed.
Every little makes a mickle, waiting for him.
American Kochi Inventions Company is a new model in NPN(NonPracticingEntity), and some NPNs have an unpleasant nickname: patent hooligans. However, the unique model invented by Kochi made this company become one of the largest patent aggregation companies in the world only after it was established in 15, with tens of thousands of patents that are producing benefits, investment commitment exceeding 6 billion US dollars, and business income exceeding 3 billion US dollars since its establishment.
In 2008, Kochi entered and soon discovered a current situation: patent fragmentation was serious. Universities, research institutes and enterprises lack close integration, patents are scattered, polymerization effect cannot be exerted, experimental results cannot leave the laboratory, and industrialization is difficult. Kochi Inventions Company started in two operating modes, one is information tracking in the patent application stage, and the other is investment and sponsorship in the patent research stage. Kochi has cooperated with more than a dozen top universities such as Shanghai Jiaotong University and East China University of Science and Technology. The cooperation includes advance payment, PCT international patent writing, application and maintenance fees, profit sharing, intellectual property export, research funding, project expansion and many other aspects. 20 10 in September, East China University of Science and Technology posted a statement on the school website? International invention joint innovation fund? The new notice shows that the National Technology Transfer Center of East China University of Science and Technology has cooperated with Kochi Invention Company on international patent application and formulated? Huali-Kochi Asia International Invention Cooperation Program? Encourage relevant teachers to innovate and invent, and give the audited teachers an average subsidy of 50 thousand dollars.
Make good use of invalid patents
A few years ago, an intermediary organization organized more than 100 foreign patents to be listed and traded in China, and many trade associations and enterprises, such as universities, scientific research units, science parks, invention associations and chief engineers, went there one after another? Looking for treasure? , fancy? Foreign patents? Most enterprises invest hundreds of thousands of yuan to buy.
After the news was reported by the media, the relevant leaders of the Intellectual Property Office at that time even called this intermediary? Amateur? , buy? Foreign patents? What is the company? Foreign disk? , spent money. It turns out that these foreign patents are basically not applied in China, and according to the rules of the game of intellectual property rights, they are invalid patents in China.
Experts believe that more than 80% of enterprises in China do not have a patent, and their innovation ability is weak, so it is difficult to independently develop patents. Therefore, China's intellectual property strategy should be diversified: the high school strategy is to encourage enterprises, research institutes and institutions of higher learning to innovate in primary and secondary ways, not only to compete for local patents, but also to enter the international market? Running around? , forming a patent cross with developed countries. The low-end strategy is to formulate and adopt circuitous tactics to help many R&; D enterprises with less investment and weak innovation ability actively use invalid patents. In this way, in the short term, these enterprises can jump out of the patent circle of multinational groups and get a breathing space, while in the long term, it will help to enhance their strength and find a step for further development.
