The Light Industry Development Plan (2016-2020 Years) Pays Attention To Intellectual Property Rights

Once upon a time, a group of well-known Chinese light industrial enterprises jointly supported the "gold making signboard" made in China.

In recent years, with the continuous development of economic globalization, China's light industry has begun to seek new path of pformation and upgrading.

A recent statistical data shows that China's watches and clocks, batteries, and so on.

Beer and other productive capacity account for more than 50% of the world's total. It is a big country in light industry. At the same time, the number of invention patents of light industrial enterprises is not large, the products are many but not good, and the industry is large but not strong.

"On the basis of strengthening the protection and application of intellectual property rights, taking innovation as the main line and taking enterprises as the main body, we should vigorously implement the strategy of" three products "with varieties, quality and brand creation, optimize industrial structure, and build a new manufacturing system of light industry, which is intelligent, green, service-oriented and internationalized.

Facing the dilemma of the development of light industry enterprises, the light industry development plan (2016-2020 years) promulgated recently by the Ministry of industry and Commerce (hereinafter referred to as "planning") has put forward a series of magnificent goals, which has drawn a new blueprint for the development of light industry enterprises in the 13th Five-Year.

"The plan" made a comprehensive arrangement for the development of light industry in the "13th Five-Year" period, and pointed out that we should strengthen the protection and application of light industry related intellectual property rights, which is very important for promoting the structural reform of the supply side of light industry and improving the quality and efficiency of light industry development.

Cao Xinming, deputy director of the intellectual property research center of Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, thinks that intellectual property rights can be regarded as a "golden key" to open the door to light industry pformation.

"Strengthening

Protection and application have always been the driving force for our enterprises to optimize their structure, upgrade and innovate. "

Zhang Zhongli, Minister of intellectual property of Qingdao Hisense electric Limited by Share Ltd (hereinafter referred to as Hisense electric appliances), told reporters that Hisense has always attached great importance to intellectual property work, submitted patent applications in a timely manner, and formed a reasonable patent layout at home and abroad. Up to now, the company has more than 12 thousand patents at home and abroad, and has brought increasingly good market benefits through effective patent application.

"The practice of these enterprises shows that strengthening the protection and application of intellectual property rights not only improves the level of innovation and development of enterprises, but also is a strong support for enterprises to implement" three products "strategy of increasing variety, quality and brand.

Cao Xinming said.

Data show that in 2015, China's light industry above 109 thousand enterprises, the output value of 23 trillion and 100 billion yuan, accounting for more than 34% of GDP, of which more than 100 kinds of light industrial products output ranks first in the world.

But at the same time, apart from a few brands of household electrical appliances in the forefront of the world, watches, clothing, textiles, daily necessities and so on.

Products still belong to the middle and low end products with low profit and added value. They are hovering at the low end of the value chain.

"As China's light industrial enterprises that have made brilliant achievements in" made in China ", we should seize the opportunity, focus on strengthening the protection and application of intellectual property rights, carry out the tasks of the plan, and truly achieve innovation and development.

With such a foundation, we can promote the pition from "light industrial country" to "strong light industry" in the '13th Five-Year' period.

Cao Xinming emphasized.

"At present, the core competitiveness and innovation ability and intellectual property rights of China's light industry enterprises are still weak. There is still a big gap between varieties, quality and brand compared with the advanced international level. The effective supply capability and level are difficult to adapt to the needs of consumption upgrading, which are urgent problems to be solved."

Cao Xinming said.

As Cao Xinming said, some business executives in an interview with our reporter also suggested that strengthening the protection and utilization of intellectual property rights and promoting the pformation and upgrading of light industrial enterprises need to increase policy support.

"In the" planning "issued, it is proposed to increase the protection of intellectual property rights such as designs, inventions and trade secrets, establish a joint anti-counterfeiting working mechanism, and crack down on violations of intellectual property rights and the manufacture and sale of fake and shoddy commodities, which will undoubtedly enhance the confidence of enterprises in strengthening the protection of intellectual property rights.

The head of an enterprise told the reporter.

In fact, in addition to the above-mentioned measures mentioned by the responsible person, the "plan" also put forward a special law enforcement work against online infringement of intellectual property rights and the manufacture and sale of fake and shoddy commodities, protecting consumers' rights and interests and creating a good consumption environment.

In addition, the relevant experts suggested that China should also play the role of industry associations to bridge the government and enterprises, encourage and guide trade associations to establish intellectual property rights alliances, build patent pools, and enhance the ability of joint ventures to deal with disputes over intellectual property rights and barriers to international trade.
