A recent SIPO survey reveals how patents are implemented in China. The result shows that 70.2% patented technologies were implemented in China. By reviewing all the patented technologies, it is clear that more efforts have been made in innovations and related process creation. The survey also shows that there is a low rate of implementation of patented technologies owned by non-service inventors/applicants.
According to the survey, the commercialization rates are: 52.4% for patents for inventions, 61.1% for patents for utility models and 84.7% for patents for designs. In view of the patentee, 86.4% are enterprises, 33.9% are academic institutions, 56.8% are research institutes and 41.3% are for non-service inventors.
Among the non-commercialized patents, 26.4% are deemed technological reserve. Of all the patents not implemented by the enterprises, 60% are considered as technology reserve.
