Textile Industry: Fruit Of Patent In Challenge

As one of China's proud traditional industries, China's textile industry has been moving forward in the past 10 years.

It is worth mentioning that in recent years, a group of innovative textile enterprises have striving for perfection, leaving a perfect footnote for the pformation from "made in China" to "created in China".

According to statistics, in 2002, only 8053 domestic and foreign patent applications were submitted by China's textile industry. In 2011, the patent applications of textile industry accepted and published by the State Intellectual Property Office reached 49 thousand and 814.

Experts said frankly, innovation not only helped Chinese textile enterprises to survive the global financial crisis, but also made the entire textile industry harvest.

Face the gap directly

According to statistics, in 2001, there were large and medium scale in China.

Gao Yong, vice president and Secretary General of China Textile Industry Federation, said in an interview with reporters that before 2005, according to the stipulations of the agreement on textiles and clothing, the export quota of Chinese textile and clothing products had quota restrictions, which has been a difficult problem that troubled most Chinese textile enterprises.

Therefore, during this period, the proportion of raw materials processing in the total income of textile enterprises is larger, and the concept of mass production is more popular than "innovation".

The technical disadvantage is that China's textile and clothing export quota quotas were cancelled after 2005.

Although the production capacity of domestic textile enterprises has been fully released, but with the advent of the global financial crisis, the price of raw materials in textile industry continues to rise, and low cost can no longer become the competitive advantage of domestic textile enterprises. Many enterprises are caught in the embarrassing situation of "selling more and paying more".

At the same time, the low price of mutual slaughtering of domestic textile enterprises caused the global "Chinese anti dumping" killer to Chinese products, and at the same time, launched a patent.

For example, the Japanese Textile Co., Ltd., which was widely affected by the industry, filed a lawsuit against two enterprises in Shanghai and Yueqing suspected of infringing the invention patent of sewing machines. The Chinese textile enterprises were sentenced to pay 180 thousand yuan.

"Only 3000 applications were filed in China by brothers, including more than 2000 applications for invention patents, and more than 1200 inventions have been authorized.

Apart from litigation strategy, Japanese companies have gained the upper hand only in terms of the number and quality of patents, "said Li Donghui, the plaintiff agent of the case and lawyer of Shanghai Yi Ping law firm.

Faced with the predicament of development, Chinese textile enterprises have reached the cusp of the storm.

Gao Yong told reporters that from the perspective of patent applications and so on, textile has long been rid of the extensive development mode of cheap labor and resources in the western developed countries, and has developed into a "sophisticated" technology.

Therefore, the only way out for China's textile industry is to accelerate the pformation of the mode of economic development, promote industrial upgrading and create independent brands through technological innovation.

Break the bottleneck

Reporters learned from the China Textile Industry Federation that in the process of coping with the global financial crisis, although some of the processing enterprises withdrew from the market stage along with the deterioration of the international environment, some textile enterprises relying on independent innovation and independent intellectual property rights were against the trend.

Group Limited by Share Ltd actively set up cooperation with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and Tsinghua University, set up a patent management team, set up a patent management team, carry out performance appraisal for the team members, and put forward the goal of R & D personnel to submit less than 3 patents every year. As of now, the company has submitted 107 patent applications at home and abroad, and the sales income of the patent products has accounted for more than 50% of the total revenue. In Wujiang, Jiangsu, Sheng Hong Chemical Fiber Co., Ltd. has developed hundreds of microfiber varieties through further research and development of microfiber, and has firmly controlled the technological and industrial commanding heights. It has conquered the technical difficulties called "Sheng Hong limit" by the global counterparts. It only needs a jin of 22 superfine fibers around the earth, and submitted 431 applications for patents at home and abroad. Last year, sales revenue exceeded 26 billion yuan.

Similar to the practice of textile enterprises such as Mei Xinda and Sheng Hong has injected a strong heart to the domestic textile industry, more and more textile enterprises begin to pay more attention to independent innovation.

According to statistics, in the 10 years from 2002 to 2011, in the field of textile raw materials technology that best embodies the technological innovation capability of textile industry, 15 thousand and 137 applications have been received and published by the State Intellectual Property Office, including 10 thousand and 455 applications for invention patents and 4025 authorized patents.

This group of data has been increasing year by year showing a gratifying trend of development.

Building independent brands requires strong independent innovation capability, and the quantity and quality of patents is an important manifestation of independent innovation capability.

After ten years of quenching, China's textile industry has won the market and gained a patent. In the future, Chinese textile enterprises will surely create more and more influential national brands.
