While becoming an important reference basis for enterprises to be listed on the science and innovation board, intellectual property issues have also become the last straw for enterprises to be listed on the science and innovation board.

 

As can be seen from the public data of patent applications of listed enterprises on the science and innovation board, the number of patent applications of enterprises before listing is in a steady growth trend, especially in 2018 or 2019, the number of patent applications shows an explosive growth. Since the patent authorization cycle is generally 1 to 2 years, compared with the listing time, it can be observed that the listed companies on the science and innovation board have superior foresight and layout awareness in the preparation of intellectual property. From the time dimension of patent application, reasonable intellectual property layout and planning have a significant boost to the listing of the science and innovation board.

 

As for the inquiry of intellectual property issues in the listing process, almost all enterprises have received the inquiry about core technology, iterative risk of technical route, technical research and development ability and so on in the IPO inquiry stage. Among them, 117 enterprises, accounting for 80.6%, were directly involved in intellectual property issues when they received SSE inquiries. They were finally listed after several rounds of rectification and audit.

 

In 2020, a total of 41 enterprises will stop listing on the science and technology innovation board, of which 20, accounting for 50%, are related to intellectual property issues.

 

Among the intellectual property issues related to the 20 terminated listed enterprises, the ownership of intellectual property, the information disclosure of technological advancement closely combined with intellectual property, and the risk of intellectual property disputes became one of the core points questioned.

 

In addition to micro-admittance, Zhishen Information, Baishan Cloud Technology, Yisuoxianxia and other enterprises, the previous Guangfeng Technology, Minxin Microelectronics, Jingfeng Mingyuan and other high-quality enterprises sprint science and innovation board are also in the key node of IPO, competitors launched the "attack" with patents, affecting the listing process.
