Importance of Intellectual Property 1. Intellectual Property is A kind of non-physical property—intangible assets, with value
for use and exchange and created by the human in process of their
intellectual activities in fields such as science, technology and culture.
2. Intellectual Property in the Market Economy IP in the market economy has the same characteristics as wealth and
goods , and it has high added-value. IP is a necessary tool for the market competition, and is also the
foundation of and the thresholds for establishing an innovation-oriented country.
14
II. Intellectual Property and Indigenous InnovationII. Intellectual Property and Indigenous Innovation
3. IP in the Knowledge-based Economy knowledge treated as a property has become the most
important element for productivity and resources for wealth IP is a powerful tool for international competition in the era of
knowledge-based economy.
4、 The Important Role of IP in Indigenous Innovation A guarantee for a comprehensive development of the economy
and society The main goals and resources for indigenous innovation An important threshold for the national comprehensive strength
of competitiveness
15
II. Intellectual Property and Indigenous InnovationII. Intellectual Property and Indigenous Innovation
IP policies for promoting innovation
“The core technologies can not be bought. Only by strong capacity of science & technology innovation and by obtaining our own IPRs,
can we promote the international competitiveness of the country
and can we win respect and dignity in the international society”
First, we support enterprises to develop energetically core technologies with indigenous IP rights, and to create their own well-know brands and to enhance their R&D capacities.
16
II. Intellectual Property and Indigenous InnovationII. Intellectual Property and Indigenous Innovation
Second, we will stick to the principle of combination of digestion and innovations while introducing advanced technologies. Capacity of indigenous innovations should be improved in order to develop core technologies with indigenous IP rights.
Third, efforts are to be made to further improve policies for encouraging innovations, and to enhance protection of intellectual property rights
Formulation of a national IP strategy supportive of innovation

China is still facing various challengesChina is still facing various challenges
IP has become the focal point of international competition.
The era of more frequent IP disputes has come in advance.
Enterprises’ capacity of innovation is still weak and they are unable to have enough indigenous IPRs
IP awareness needs to be further promoted and culture of innovation waits for taking shape.

The Proportion of Chinese Enterprises that Hold Their Own
Indigenous IP Rights Is Too Small
Too few enterprises in China have the far-sight, strategy and capacity
to create and develop their own indigenous IP rights. According to
statistics, only thousands of Chinese enterprises have such IP rights,
accounting for only 3/10000. More than 90% enterprises have never
filed patent applications. 60% of enterprises have not their own
trademarks. Many Chinese enterprises can only “make” but can not”
create”. They have “property” but no “knowledge”. Some of them
even rely on copying others’ technology for survival.

Core technologies are either imported or controlled
by foreign companies
China is the 3rd largest global trade power, but its high-tech products
independently innovated only account for 2% of its total foreign trade.
Civil airplanes are all imported into China from abroad.
High-Tech medical equipment, manufacturing equipment for semi-conductor,
integrated circuits and laser fiber are mainly imported.
80% petrochemical equipment, and 70% numerical-controlled machine tool and
advanced textile manufacturing equipment are imported.
Over 50% core technologies of color TV and cell phone are owned by foreign multi-
national companies

Further Enhance Intellectual Property Work
1. Fully aware of the importance of IP work under the new circumstances, we will take the IP strategy as one of the important strategies for development of the whole nation and will make use of it to serve the goal of building an innovation-based country.
A national IP strategy is under way A leading working group for formulation of the national IP
strategy was set up in 2005, with Vice Premier Madame Wu YI
as the head, and composed of 28 ministries and departments
Expected to fulfill the formulation within the year 2007
2. We will further enhance the role of the government in guiding the IP work, intensify organizational and structural construction, actively facilitate the creation of a favorable policy environment and incentive mechanism, and protect and encourage inventors and scientific researchers to engage themselves in inventions and creations.

2. We will further enhance the role of the government in guiding the IP
work, intensify organizational and structural construction, actively
facilitate the creation of a favorable policy environment and incentive
mechanism, and protect and encourage inventors and scientific researchers to engage themselves in inventions and creations.

Further Enhance Intellectual Property Work
3. We will continue to help and encourage enterprises to develop and exploit the innovated technologies with indigenous IP rights. The main players of the market economy are enterprises, thus they should also be the main force for indigenous innovation and creation of indigenous IP.
Enterprises are the key to carry out IP work. In abroad, over 90% patent applications are filed by enterprises. In China,many applications are filed by individuals. However, technical creations are knowledge-intensive and intangible, requiring vast investment in the process of innovation and development of products, thereby difficult for individuals to achieve. As a result, enterprises should be the main force for innovation and the creators of indigenous IP rights.
42
II. Intellectual Property and Indigenous InnovationII. Intellectual Property and Indigenous Innovation
Further Enhance Intellectual Property Work4. We will effectively protect intellectual property rights by further
perfecting the framework for IP protection and by intensifying the force of law enforcement.
Without IP protection, there could hardly be indigenous innovation. IP protection is actually the most vital part of the whole chain of the IP system.
43
Further Enhance Intellectual Property Work
5. We will enhance cultivation of IP talents and promotion of public awareness of IP. Protection of IP relies on the improvement of the public IP awareness, and the promotion of the awareness of independent innovation.
The culture of innovation, a social environment conducive to respect of others’ IP rights and protection of our own, must be established.
