China’s State Intellectual Property Office issued a notice recently to radically change the country’s patent policy. It seeks to transform China from focusing on the number of patents to focusing on the quality of patents, in an effort to boost true indigenous innovation.
The policies include measures to cancel all patent subsidies, crack down on improper behavior to artificially increase patent filing numbers, and to tie patent numbers to other benefits.
At the same time, State Intellectual Property Office together with the the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Science and Technology jointly issued a notice to ask universities to stop granting awards for patent applications, drastically reduce and gradually cancel awards for patent authorization.
