The State Intellectual Property Office of China received 1.4 million patent applications last year, leading the worldwide figure in that category for the ninth year in a row, according to a World Intellectual Property Organization report.
The World Intellectual Property Indicators 2020 report shows that China s intellectual property rights protection work is fruitful. The Chinese government prioritizes promotion of technology innovation in its work and has carved out an intellectual property protection path with Chinese characteristics.
China actively participates in international cooperation in intellectual property protection and contributes to the global intellectual property governance system. Also, the concept that to protect intellectual property is to protect innovation is now ingrained in Chinese society.
