Protection of intellectual property is protection of innovation: three-dimensional protection builds "green wall"

 

Suzhou has actively explored the work mechanism and system construction of intellectual property protection, strengthened intellectual property protection in the whole chain and protected the innovative development of enterprises from the aspects of improving the protection system, strengthening the supervision of law enforcement and increasing the punishment of infringement. The recently issued Measures on Strengthening IPR Protection and Promoting Pilot Trial in the Yangtze River Delta Ecological and Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone is also an innovative practice to explore the concept of "not breaking administrative subordination and breaking administrative boundaries".

 

Suzhou has made remarkable achievements in intellectual property, with a number of intellectual property indicators leading Jiangsu Province. A number of work in the field of intellectual property has been carried out first in the whole country:

 

  • It was approved to take the lead in the construction of a pilot technical support system for the inspection and identification of IPR infringement disputes in China;

     

  • Establish and operate the only intellectual property operation guide fund among prefecture-level cities in China;

     

  • An intellectual property service center for listing enterprises will be established.

     

    Industrial innovation capacity supported by intellectual property work has been significantly improved, and an excellent intellectual property environment has resulted in an intensive concentration of high-quality patents in fields such as electronic information, intelligent manufacturing, new materials, machinery manufacturing, and chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In recent years, Suzhou has accumulated 44 national intellectual property demonstration enterprises and 107 competitive enterprises, ranking first in the province. Growing pragmatically, Suzhou carefully nurtures the trickle of innovation, which is why the big river is surging today.
