From August 19th to 23rd, litchi journalists walked into Henan and Hubei with the activity of “Local Press Release on Intellectual Property Rights” organized by China National Intellectual Property Administration’s office, and felt the “invisible” force directly escorting the rapid development of the central region.
The reporter in Henan Center for Patent Examination and Cooperation learned that in order to speed up the construction of a modern industrial system, the Henan Provincial Party Committee and the provincial government focused on planning and deployment, and made every effort to build 28 key industrial chains of seven advanced manufacturing industrial clusters. Taking the leading enterprises of science and technology in these 28 key industrial chains as the starting point, Henan Center for Patent Examination and Cooperation has set up a special service team, implemented the action of strengthening the industrial chain, focused on the personalized needs of “stuck neck” technology, scientific and technological research, overseas trade, and formulated “one enterprise, one policy” to make targeted efforts to help Henan build a modern industrial system.
Yutong Bus Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yutong Bus”) is a leading enterprise in the new energy automobile industry in Henan Province, integrating research and development, manufacturing and sales of bus products. In 2023, Yutong Bus sold 36,518 vehicles worldwide, with an operating income of 27.042 billion yuan. As an enterprise that continues to lead the development of the industry with scientific and technological innovation, Yutong Bus attaches great importance to intellectual property protection. By the end of 2023, Yutong Bus had 2,355 valid patents and software copyrights at home and abroad, including 775 invention patents and 244 software copyrights. However, how to prevent and control overseas patent risks has also brought troubles to enterprises.
At the beginning of 2023, Yutong Bus plans to participate in the Belgian World Bus Expo, but the company has no idea about how to deal with the risks of overseas participation.
At the initial stage, enterprises have given lectures on the prevention of overseas patent infringement, but the simple theoretical knowledge is very difficult for people who are new to intellectual property rights to understand, and the teaching effect is not ideal. In desperation, the enterprise sent an invitation to Henan Center for Patent Examination and Cooperation (hereinafter referred to as “Henan Center”), hoping to get the help of experts from Henan Center to carry out special training. Knowing this situation, Henan Center quickly sent senior experts in automobile-related fields to take the lead in customizing and developing special training courses for overseas exhibitors.
Through in-depth communication with enterprises, the teaching experts of Henan Center learned that the personnel who participated in the training were mainly product leaders and technical R&D personnel. Therefore, from the perspective of trainees, the teaching focus was not only on the interpretation of cases in the automotive field, but also on the possible infringement scenarios in the whole process of participation. At the same time, Henan Center organized several expert groups to carry out internal discussions and course trials, and the course quality was fully guaranteed. After the completion of the training, the person in charge of intellectual property rights of Yutong Bus said that the awareness of patent risk of the enterprise has been greatly improved, and entrusted Henan Center to carry out a series of patent early warning analysis projects for the related technologies of the participating products to form a complete overseas risk response strategy.
In the end, Yutong Bus successfully completed the overseas exhibition, showing the technical strength and brand image of China national enterprises. Overseas markets have also become the main driving force for Yutong bus performance growth. In 2023, the overall sales volume increased by 79% year-on-year, hitting a record high.
In addition to the new energy automobile industry chain represented by Yutong Automobile, Henan Center takes China Railway Engineering Equipment Group as the starting point for the high-end equipment industry chain, focusing on solving its technical problem of “sticking the neck”. In view of the industrial chain of new materials, combined with the demand of nylon technology innovation and development of Pingmei Shenma Group, combined with the relevant research team of Henan Academy of Sciences, we gathered the strength of knowledge, industry and research, and fully supported the research and development of nylon new materials technology and high-quality industrial development through joint work such as industrial planning patent navigation.
It is understood that on the basis of doing a good job in the main business, Henan Center gives full play to the characteristics and advantages of the “national team”, focuses on the national strategy and local development needs, and actively provides high-quality intellectual property services, covering Henan, Shanxi, Jiangxi, Anhui and other provinces in the central region.
