Apparel Zipper Industry Cohesion Has Been Unprecedentedly Strengthened.

< p > at the six meeting of the China Hardware Association a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp" zipper /a branch, the patent litigation cases of China zipper enterprises and Japan YKK company have once again become a hot topic of discussion in the industry. The patent litigation case with YKK is very complicated and it is not yet clear. But the lawsuit is only one of the difficulties faced by the industry in the past few years. < /p >
< p > over the past few years, the zipper industry in China has been seriously affected by the two major crises, namely, the a href= "http://www.91se91.com/news/index_p.asp", the US subprime mortgage crisis and the European sovereign debt crisis. The domestic and international business environment has changed rapidly, and the industry shield has been very prominent, and the industry has been under tremendous pressure both inside and outside. Under such circumstances, the production enterprises always maintain a positive attitude to deal with them one by one: unite to respond to YKK, strengthen cooperation and exchanges, and cultivate the follow-up force of the industry. Upgrading the manufacturing capability and R & D capability of the industry is no doubt a necessary factor to get rid of the difficult position and achieve all-round improvement. < /p >
< p > I believe that with the joint efforts of industry organizations and production enterprises, we will overcome difficulties and speed up the pace of industrial upgrading and adjustment, lead the zipper industry to practice Scientific Outlook on Development in depth, and persist in pioneering and innovating, so that the comprehensive competitiveness of China's zipper industry will continue to improve. < /p >
< p > < strong > "the whole people" should reply YKK < /strong > /p >
YKK, P, is the biggest obstacle to the global dream of China's zipper industry. YKK has been making various obstacles to the development of Chinese zipper enterprises. < /p >
< p > the most recent was in May 2010, YKK company sued Guangdong Jiaxi zipper equipment company patent infringement. In order to avoid the continuous adverse effects of the case on intellectual property rights in China's zipper industry, it may lead to prolonged time for China's zipper industry to enter the middle and high-end market, so that enterprises can be affected by technological progress and development. The zipper branch will mobilize all members to respond positively, and the "whole people" should respond to YKK. < /p >
< p > on the one hand, the branch encourages relevant enterprises to establish confidence. On the one hand, they organize industry strength and funds to support litigation, and cooperate with legal experts. After a lot of investigation and evidence collection, they provide many detailed evidence to the State Intellectual Property Office's review committee. The eight claims of YKK's patent are all invalid by the State Intellectual Property Office's reexamination board. Then, in the trial of Guangzhou intermediate people's court and Guangdong high court, Jia's performance was also argued. Finally, the Guangdong High Court concluded that Guangdong Jiaxi company did not constitute infringement. Although in the Beijing intermediate people's court patent trial still wins the lawsuit, but in September 18th Beijing High Court final judgment, the YKK company has hired the famous domestic legal expert to participate in the lawsuit, the high court final judgment YKK wins the lawsuit. But this does not mean that the end, the zipper enterprise collective action YKK will not end. < /p >
< p > responding to YKK is not a matter of Guangdong Jiaxi company, but a collective action of the whole industry to deal with the challenges of the international oligarch. < /p >
< p > after the YKK prosecution, the zip sub committee set up an intellectual property leading group rapidly, leading and coordinating the work of intellectual property rights in the industry, setting up an intellectual property protection fund, and maintaining the long-term, orderly and normal development of the patent work in the industry. Colleagues in the industry are highly concerned and actively involved. At the same time, zipper sub committee also established a zipper patent database, hired professional law firms as legal advisers of the industry, and gave guidance to the work of intellectual property rights in the industry. < /p >
< p > in the long run, the construction of intellectual property rights is a long-term and continuous work and can not be expected to be completed overnight. The vast number of member enterprises should have a unified understanding, recognize their objectives, make joint efforts, strive for innovation, build their own intellectual property rights, and accumulate energy for industrial upgrading. Enterprises, large or small, must recognize the importance of intellectual property work and have the responsibility and obligation to participate in this work. The problem of intellectual property rights is not an optional problem faced by enterprises. It involves the healthy development of the whole industry and the sustainable development of every enterprise. < /p >
< p > intellectual property rights protection has become a major strategic issue of China's "a href=" http://www.91se91.com/news/index_c.asp "zipper industry < /a > market competition with the world giants. Because of our less awareness in this field and the fact that YKK has implemented a large number of patent rush entries, what is now standing in front of the industry is a large number of patents with over a thousand patents. How can we break through? The Chinese zipper industry must catch up with the whole industry, integrate the advantages of the whole industry, carry out the innovation and R & D of independent intellectual property rights, and form a comprehensive patent encirclement on the zipper products. Otherwise, we will not win the future of the industry. < /p >
< p > from another point of view, litigation with YKK also gives the zipper industry a timely warning. In order to break the monopoly of International Oligopoly and avoid trade risks, the zipper industry must start with upgrading its own technology level and R & D capability, and enhance its overall competitiveness. Through all kinds of industry activities, information exchange and market cooperation will undoubtedly greatly enhance the cohesion of the industry, but also conducive to the advanced development experience of leading enterprises in the industry. {page_break} < /p >
< p > < strong > industry cohesion has been unprecedentedly strengthened < /strong > < /p >
< p > in the course of dealing with the patent lawsuits of YKK company, the vast number of production enterprises have formed a deep friendship. Through participation in industry meetings, forums and visits, the cooperation between them has become closer. In this process, the zipper branch also played a decisive role. < /p >
"P >" zipper industry is a very united industry. At present, domestic zipper production is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu and other areas. In the past, we only focused on the region and our enterprises. Now we have more opportunities to communicate and learn from each other. It plays a vital role in expanding industry cooperation, promoting the dissemination of advanced production technology and improving the overall level of the industry. " Insiders said. < /p >
In the continuous global financial crisis for many years, the export oriented zipper industry has undergone a great test. The rapid growth of China's zipper industry has shown a stagnant development. Some deep-rooted problems in the industry have been exposed. Many enterprises feel unprecedented pressure and begin to worry about and doubt the future of the industry. P < /p >
In the face of this situation, the zipper sub committee held an emergency meeting of the vice chairman of the unit in Wenzhou to study and analyze the situation of the economic operation of the industry and the measures to deal with the difficulties. P Subsequently, the research group was organized to go deep into zipper key production areas such as Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Fujian. < /p >
< p > it should be said that the response of the industry in the face of crisis is rapid, timely and accurate. "Tug of heating" has become the consensus of the industry. When the external environment is extremely bad, the enterprises will expand the new market space on the one hand, and practice the "internal strength" on the other hand, and enhance the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises by introducing advanced equipment, improving production technology, improving product quality, promoting new product research and development, organizing staff training and other activities. After the crisis, the zipper industry not only did not see large-scale enterprise shutting down the tide, but the enterprise's production and R & D strength has been further improved. < /p >
< p > in order to further deepen this communication between industries, zipper sub committee collects and collects all kinds of relevant data and information on the basis of industry research, and compiles an investigation report on the development of China's zipper industry. The report not only puts forward supporting suggestions for the development of industry, < < a href= > http://www.91se91.com/news/index_q.asp > > /a >, provides decision-making basis for government departments to formulate export tax rebate and industry revitalization plan, but also safeguards the overall interests of zipper industry on the basis of taking account of the overall situation of the country. < /p >
