This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do patents affect innovation in mainland China and Hong Kong? How can two patent systems operate within one country and how is innovation affected by the 'one country two systems' model? For the first time, this book links these challenging issues together and provides a comprehensive overview for government officials, law-makers, academics, law practitioners and students to understand the patent systems of mainland China and Hong Kong. Themes examined include the interaction between the two distinctive patent regimes, the impact of patents on innovation in China's specific industries such as green tech, traditional Chinese medicines and telecommunications, the role of utility models in inflating low-quality patents and the application of good faith principle in enforcing FRAND in mainland China, patent system reforms in Hong Kong, and the impact of these changes on innovation in the two vastly distinctive yet closely connected jurisdictions.

This book was released on 2012-08-22 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study’s statistical analysis shows that patent quality and innovation in China deserve improvement, and an in-depth legal, management science, and economic analysis in the study shows that various patent-related policies and practices actually hamper patent quality and innovation in China. Over 50 recommendations for reform are provided. The study is divided into four chapters, summaries of which are as follows: Although China became the world leader in quantity of domestically filed patent applications in 2011, the quality of these patents needs improvement. Also, while certain innovation in China is rising, the country’s actual innovation appears over-hyped by some sources. There appears to be an overly heavy focus on government-set quantitative patent targets in China, which can hamper patent quality and innovation. This overemphasis involves over 10 national-level and over 150 municipal/provincial quantitative patent targets, mostly to be met by 2015, which are also linked to performance evaluations for SoEs, Party officials and government ministries, universities and research institutes, and other entities. China has a wide-range of other policies, many of which are at least partially meant to encourage patents, that can actually discourage quality patents, and highest-quality patents in particular, and innovation. Examples of these policies include a variety of measures with requirements for “indigenous intellectual property rights” that are linked to financial incentives (many of which are unrelated to government procurement); a range of other government-provided financial incentives for patent development (e.g. certain patent filing subsidies); inappropriate inventor remuneration rules; discriminatory standardization approaches; and a wide range of others. There are a host of concerns surrounding rules and procedures for patent application review and those for enforcement of patent disputes that can hamper building of quality patents and innovation in China. These include concerns about abuse of patent rights, difficulties invalidating utility models, and a wide range of other issues.

Book excerpt: "Last chapter of this book compares Hong Kong and Singapore in building their OGP systems (called "positive grant patent", system in Singapore). Yu argues that, although Singapore's new system has strengthened its credential as an IP hub, created more job opportunities for IP professionals, and extended its impact to ASEAN countries, the success has not been translated into the increase in the patent numbers, particularly from local residents. He argues that, by substantially outsourcing patent examination to the SIPO, Hong Kong may not be able "to reap the benefits from such local capability," and that "while Singapore's new patent search and examination (S&E) capability has won it some plaudits, it is too early to assess its full impact on the country's overall IP ecosystem in terms of new job creation, additional numbers of patents, more patent filings by local entities, or other indicators of increased innovative activity"--

Book excerpt: Governments in Greater China (Mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore) are striving to create higher valueadded-- and homegrown--products, services, and technologies. No longer satisfied with China's role as the "world's factory," the Chinese government calls its effort "Independent Innovation." Likewise, Taiwanese firms are endeavoring to become global architects of many products, and Hong Kong and Singapore are rising to similar challenges. This book addresses topics at the heart of these efforts: - What specific actions are Greater China's governments taking to advance their respective competencies? - How do foreign firms bring technologies to them? - How adequate are the pools of talent and how are they changing? - What do patent and publication data tell us about trends in science and technology? - Why are China's research institutes being reorganized? - What has made a small set of hightech regions so productive? The authors, leading scholars and business people from Greater China, the United States, and Europe, offer valuable insights into the region's transition from workshop of the world to wellspring of innovation.

This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 521 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid evolution of China from an emerging to a mature intellectual property jurisdiction has far-reaching implications for the law, policy and practice of IP, and their links with competition and technology law. Produced in the year China rose to fourth rank globally as user of the international patent system, this volume is an invaluable guide for the policymaker, the analyst and the practitioner alike, setting a thorough exposition of the substantive law and its application within a broader policy context, and offering a comprehensive, timely overview of an IP system just at the time it begins to assume central significance on the world stage. Antony Taubman, Director, IP Division, WTO This edited volume offers an excellent comprehensive overview of China s intellectual property and technology laws. The eminent contributors to this volume have played important roles in shaping China s IP system and in tackling the many challenges confronting it. By making their views of the system readily accessible to an English audience, this volume will undoubtedly add to our understanding of the legal protections and challenges facing innovation industries in China. Mark Wu, Harvard Law School, US The pioneering studies in this book examine the fundamental role of intellectual property and technology laws as China is moving from made in China to created in China . This book also helps us to understand about the interplay between China s intellectual property protection system and the potential for transition of China s economy, and provides numerous means to deal with the legislative difficulties in China s innovation-oriented strategy. Wu Handong, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, China Written by some of China s leading academic experts and with a foreword by the former Chief Justice of the IP Tribunal of China s Supreme People s Court, this book combines for the very first time a review of both Chinese intellectual property and technology laws in a single volume in English. The book initially focuses on recent amendments to the laws of copyright, trademarks, patents, before moving on to discuss unfair competition and trade secrets, and the protection of intellectual property over electronic networks. Other chapters cover the regulation of digital networks and telecommunications; IT and E-commerce; the new antimonopoly law and competition; and China s position on the TRIPS agreement. Of special note is a chapter written by in-house Counsel and the Chairman of the Quality Brands Protection Committee (a coalition of well known multinational brands) reviewing both brand protection and practical enforcement of intellectual property in China. This book will appeal to scholars and postgraduate students in commercial law (especially in IP, trade, competition, and technology), Chinese studies and business, as well as regulators, international agencies and law firms. Management consultancy and accounting firms, banks and investment firms will also find this book invaluable.
Download or read book Are There Laws Of Innovation written by Lawrence Juen-yee Lau and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2022-08-11 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond real GDP, innovative capacity is an important indicator of the economic strength of a nation. By studying innovative capacity and other indicators of success in innovation across the Group-of-Seven (G7) Countries, the East Asian Newly Industrialised Economies (EANIEs) and Mainland China, this book will systematically establish a positive relationship between innovation outputs and inputs of different economies. In doing so, it seeks to answer the question — are there laws of innovation? It seeks to identify the determinants of innovation at the economy-wide level, ascertain whether these determinants are similar across different economies, and find suitable metrics for comparing relative success in innovation across different economies. It concludes that innovation, rather than being a stroke of good fortune, comes from research and development activities conducted over a long period of time, and sheds light on future trends and areas for further research.

In China, the supportive policies and legislation created by the authorities as well as the rapidly increasing number of patent applications show that China's patent law system has responded positively to innovation. This paper aims to investigate whether China's patent law system is capable of promoting innovation from an industry-specific perspective. Using the analytical framework set out by Burk and Lemley, this paper looks into how the industry-specific nature of China's patent law system is applied and how it affects innovation of China's Telecommunications Industry (CTI). Specifically, this paper explores how the application of flexible legal provisions that are open to interpretation - those concerning "technical solutions" and "persons skilled in the art" - interacts with the innovation characteristics of CTI. This paper argues that although the flexible legal provisions of China's Patent Law in the China's patent law system have provided substantial discretion to judges and patent examiners to take into account industry-specific innovation characteristics in theory, the application of China's Patent Law overlooks the industry-specific nature of China's Patent Law as well as the innovation characteristics of CTI. This paper employs doctrinal analysis, interviews and comparative studies to develop the argument of this paper.

Download or read book Patenting and Innovation in China written by Eric Warner (Policy analyst) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 102 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "China has undergone a patenting boom, with yearly increases in patent applications averaging 34 percent. Since 2000 this has resulted in a 16-fold increase in the annual number of patents and according to the United Nations, China's patent office has received more patent filings than any other country (UN December 11, 2012). Previous literature indicates that this trend is driven by large volumes of low-quality patents. Given this, I was motivated to understand the drivers of this trend, the impact of patenting-promoting policies, and the innovative outcomes of Chinese firms. This dissertation examines these three questions in three separate essays: (1) What are the drivers of this patenting boom, and what implications exist for Chinese technical innovation? (2) What are the innovative impacts of the Indigenous Innovation Policy, which is designed to promote patenting? (3) How innovative are leading Chinese firms?"--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Rethinking What International Patenting Really Says About Chinese Innovation written by Dan Prud'homme and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chinese patenting abroad has risen impressively in recent years, and analyses have pointed to these numbers to conclude that Chinese patent quality and value, and China's overall innovation trajectory, are more positive than conventional wisdom indicates. This article critically assesses these conclusions.The article posits that although international patenting data have often been used as indicators of the quality and value of firms'/other entities' patents, and countries' overall innovation trajectories, there are several overlooked reasons why such data are not as representative of these components in China as recent analyses suggest. The assessment -- which draws on a literature review, statistical analysis and consultations with Chinese firms -- shows that without careful consideration of China-specific 'institutional and scale' as well as 'rational-firm' considerations, conclusions drawn from international patenting statistics about Chinese entities' patent quality and value are misleading. This understanding provides a more tempered and objective outlook on China's innovation trajectory and concludes that several different approaches, which do not utilize only certain single metrics based on international filing or grant data (including for triadic patent families or Patent Cooperation Treaty filings or other metrics), are needed in order to make robust assessments of Chinese entities' patent quality and value.This article provides practical insights about how to interpret more accurately the rise in Chinese entities' international patenting filings. The analytical considerations and approach developed can be used by businesses to improve strategic planning and advice-giving, and academics and government analysts to more accurately conduct research and draw policy conclusions related to China's innovation outlook.
Download or read book A Confucian Analysis on the Evolution of Chinese Patent Law System written by Nan Zhang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprehensively discusses the main features of the Chinese patent law system, which not only legally ‘transplants’ international treaties into the Chinese context, but also maintains China’s legal culture and promotes domestic economic growth. This is the basis for encouraging creativity and improving patent law protection in China. The book approaches the evolution of the Chinese patent system through the ancient Chinese philosopher Confucius’s classic principle, offering readers a fresh new way to understand and analyze Chinese patent law reforms, while also outlining how Confucian insights could be used to improve the enforcement of patent law and overall intellectual property protection awareness in China. It examines ancient Chinese innovation history, explores intellectual property from a Confucian perspective, and discusses the roots of Chinese patent law, as well as the past three amendments and the trends in the ongoing fourth amendment. In addition to helping readers grasp the mentality behind the Chinese approach to patent law and patent protection, the book provides an alternative research methodology and philosophical approach by demonstrating Confucian analysis, which provides a more dynamic way to justify intellectual property in the academic world. Lastly, it suggests future strategies for local industries in the legal, cultural and sociological sectors in China, which provide benefits for domestic and overseas patent holders alike. The book offers a valuable asset for graduate students and researchers on China and intellectual property law, as well as general readers interested in Asian culture and the philosophy of law.
Download or read book China s Shifting Patent Landscape and State Led Patenting Strategy written by Dan Prud'homme and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extent to which China is an innovative economy is the topic of ongoing contention in scholarly and practitioner circles. The intellectual property component of China's technological catch-up strategy has been geared towards first focusing on quantity of outputs and then eventually shifting towards ensuring the quality of outputs. Disconcertingly, in recent years this strategy has created negative impacts on patent quality and thus somewhat may have hampered innovation in China. New Chinese intellectual property policies, and the 2014 phenomena of decreasing annual growth rates of domestic invention patent filings and unprecedented negative growth rates of domestic utility model and design filings, shed new light on this debate. They suggest that recent shifts away from the government strategy of stimulating mere numbers of any type of patent application may be having a tangible impact. Even though science & technology development in China will inevitably continue to be a numbers game of sorts, these recent trends may reflect a step towards a healthier Chinese innovation trajectory. Scholars, policymakers, and businesses should consider these shifting dynamics in their intellectual property and innovation forecasting, strategizing, and planning.
Download or read book Innovative Activity and Technological Change in China and Its Regions written by Hong Yin and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dissertation, I provide a detailed analysis of patenting activity in China and its regions from 1985 to 2004. Chinese domestic patents are used to analyze China's patenting activity by technological fields and by industrial sectors. Spatial distributions of China's innovative activity are also examined. I find that China's overall technological development in the past twenty years is modest and the regional disparity in technological development is severe. Technological strengths of China are mainly in the low and traditional technological fields, however, China has built up its technological strengths in some key areas, such as biotechnology and organic chemistry. The technological gap between China and industrialized countries is mainly in the hi-tech sectors. I further estimate a patent production function and a knowledge production function at the provincial level. I find that the patents-R&D relationship is well established at the Chinese provincial level and technology contributes positively to industrial growth. In addition, I examine the effects of inter-regional knowledge spillovers on both patenting activity and value added industrial output. I find that there are positive inter-regional knowledge spillovers among the Chinese provinces, but the effects of knowledge spillovers are small and weak, compared to those of more industrialized countries.
