Zhejiang Intellectual Property Protection Satisfaction Reaches New High at 86.02 Points. Moreover, for three consecutive years, it has received outstanding evaluations in the Central Intellectual Property Protection Inspection and Assessment, achieving a three-time championship in the national administrative assessment of intellectual property protection. Recently, Zhejiang Province held a briefing on intellectual property protection to provide detailed updates on the latest developments in intellectual property protection in the province.
Gu Wenhai, Deputy Director of the Planning and Management Department of the Zhejiang Intellectual Property Strong Province Construction Joint Conference Office and Deputy Director of the Zhejiang Market Supervision Administration (Intellectual Property Bureau), stated that this year, Zhejiang has made new progress in deepening the integration reform of the entire intellectual property chain. Zhejiang has committed to strengthening legal protection, deepening governance innovation, and enhancing value-added services, thereby achieving new progress in advancing the construction of a strong province in intellectual property and continuously improving the effectiveness of intellectual property protection.
On the journey of innovation, Zhejiang’s intellectual property protection has once again achieved brilliant results, reaching the highest level of satisfaction in history, with the report card filled with honors. This is not accidental but a powerful response to the deepening of the entire chain integration reform, legal protection, governance innovation, and value-added services. In this ongoing process of becoming a strong province in intellectual property rights, Zhejiang’s wisdom and determination are evident.
Among the recent achievements in Zhejiang’s intellectual property, the most eye-catching is the rapid and efficient resolution of disputes. This is not only a positive response to the “Number One Reform Project” but also a measure to provide strong support for building a fair competition system and a high-standard market system. By implementing administrative rulings for intellectual property, strengthening the construction of the “quick protection” platform, deepening the system of intellectual property technical investigators, and strengthening social governance, Zhejiang has achieved significant results in the “fast processing” of intellectual property disputes. In particular, the pilot project of “simplified case processing” provides a more rapid resolution path for intellectual property dispute cases, with an average processing cycle of fewer than 30 days, ensuring the legitimate rights and interests of the parties involved.
What is even more commendable is Zhejiang’s innovative measures in collaborative intellectual property protection, such as “legal protection of intellectual property” and the “Zhejiang Intellectual Property Officer” project. This not only involves coordination at the legal and administrative levels but also explores new paths in technology and industry practice. Through mechanisms such as judicial enforcement and administrative supervision, as well as judicial advice and administrative lists, Zhejiang has actively attempted to solve the problem of repeated infringements and increase the intensity of credit punishment. The “Zhejiang Intellectual Property Officer” project, on the other hand, has established a new model for integrated criminal protection of enterprise intellectual property rights, demonstrating Zhejiang’s “smart brain” in the field of intellectual property.
In terms of data protection, Zhejiang has effectively protected data intellectual property rights by incorporating data protection systems into regulations, providing effective protection for legally collected, algorithmically processed data with practical value and intellectual achievements. This provides reliable initial proof for the circulation, transaction, profit distribution, and rights protection of data. This practice of injecting technology into regulations demonstrates Zhejiang’s profound understanding and forward-thinking on intellectual property in the digital economy era.
Officials from the Zhejiang Market Supervision Administration (Intellectual Property Bureau) stated, “In the future, Zhejiang Province will focus on four aspects: the improvement of intellectual property creation quality, the upgrade of protection effectiveness, the acceleration of transformation and utilization, and the optimization of service foundations.” They emphasized that people’s satisfaction will be regarded as an important criterion for evaluating their work and that they will spare no effort in improving the level of intellectual property protection services. Looking forward to Zhejiang’s continuous efforts in intellectual property creation, improvement of protection effectiveness, acceleration of transformation and utilization, and optimization of service foundations, contributing more wisdom and strength to high-quality economic development.
