Pilot Platform (Shanghai) for International Operations for the SIPOP Launched

Shanghai was approved to develop the Pilot Platform (Shanghai) for International Operations for the State Intellectual Property Operation Public Service Platform (the platform) which was verified by China National Intellectual Property Administration, and officially launched its service on May 17, 2019. “We hope IP trade could be as convenient as online-shopping and online-trading,” said Rui Wenbiao, director of Shanghai Municipal Intellectual Property Bureau.

The platform is an important part of China’s intellectual property operation and public service system; it is also the significant basis of Shanghai Science and Technology Innovation Center.

The platform focuses on five core features, including IP trade service, financial innovation, overseas layout and legal rights protection, major industries operation and primary service. It is committed to building evaluation capacity for technology transferring, science and information disclosure capacity for technology innovation board and comprehensive service capacity for the operation of major industries.

The Shanghai-based platform seeks to provide services all over the world. In 2018, Shanghai International Intellectual Property Operations Management Co., Ltd. launched Shanghai International Intellectual Property Operations Alliance so that the platform can create a consultative, contributive and win-win environment for IP operation and services by absorbing IP service institutes, corporations, chambers of commerce, financial institutions, universities and scientific research centers that have overseas businesses.

Statistics show that now there are over sixty international institutions that have joined the Alliance. The platform is exploring new models for cross-border IP cooperation through exchanges among international organizations, consulates in Shanghai, commercial sections, chambers of commerce, investment bureaus, technology transferring organizations of world-class universities.

The platform finished over seventy technology transferring and service programs with trade volume of nearly 300 million Yuan.

Currently, the platform has established the SinoIP online service and it will make more efforts toward China IP international operation.
