The center has been approved 135 IPC classification numbers (International Patent Classification) and 32 Locarno classification numbers (international design classification), ranking the first in China. Among them, 80% of the classification numbers are in line with the classification of strategic emerging industries, which can help enterprises achieve early and good results in the "bottleneck issue" technology field, and play a positive role in seizing the technological highland and market opportunities.
