Looking back at the development of intellectual property in China, we have spent decades and gone through the development path of developed countries for hundreds of years, and realized a historic leap from scratch to existence and from small to large, and become a country with real intellectual property rights. Achievements are precious and experience is worth summarizing.The party's leadership over the cause of intellectual property rights has been continuously strengthened。Shortly after the founding of new China, China has actively explored the protection of intellectual property rights. After the Third Plenary Session of the 11th CPC Central Committee, China's intellectual property work has gradually embarked on the track of normalization.

Since the eighteen Party's Congress, the Central Committee of the party has put intellectual property work in a more prominent position.

The establishment of the State Administration of market supervision and the re establishment of the State Intellectual Property Office have achieved the centralized and unified management of patents, trademarks, geographical indications of origin and layout design of integrated circuits, as well as the comprehensive law enforcement of patents and trademarks, and greatly improved the efficiency of administrative management. The establishment of a number of intellectual property courts and the establishment of an intellectual property court by the Supreme People's court have significantly strengthened the judicial protection of intellectual property.The legal system of intellectual property rights is improving day by day。Since the 1980s, China has successively formulated and promulgated the trademark law, patent law, copyright law, anti unfair competition law, regulations on the protection of new plant varieties, regulations on the protection of integrated circuit layout design, regulations on the protection of Olympic symbols and other laws and regulations, established a relatively complete intellectual property legal system in line with international common rules, and constantly revised it in practice Perfect. Especially in recent years, the newly enacted civil code has established major legal principles for the protection of intellectual property rights, revised the patent law, trademark law and copyright law, and established a high international standard punitive damages system for infringement, which provides a strong legal guarantee for the strict protection of intellectual property rights. At the same time, China has gradually joined almost all the major international conventions in the field of intellectual property, actively fulfilled all the responsibilities and obligations stipulated in the international conventions, and has increasingly become a firm defender, an important participant and an active builder of the international rules of intellectual property.The comprehensive strength of intellectual property rose rapidly。In the past decades, China's intellectual property industry has been growing from scratch. Especially since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the comprehensive strength of China's intellectual property rights has risen rapidly, and the core patents, well-known trademarks, boutique copyrights, and high-quality geographical indication products have continued to increase. In 2020, China (excluding Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) will have 15.8 invention patents and 30.173 million valid trademark registrations per 10000 people, which are more than four times of 2012. In 2019, the number of international patent applications of PCT ranks first in the world, and the number of international trademark applications of Madrid ranks third in the world. The social satisfaction of intellectual property protection increased from 63.69 in 2012 to 80.05 in 2020. China's ranking in the global innovation index report has risen from 34th in 2012 to 14th in 2020, ranking first among middle-income economies and one of the fastest growing countries in the world. Among the world's 5000 leading brands, China accounts for 408, with a total value of US $1.6 trillion. In the report on the global environment for doing business, its ranking has risen sharply from 91st in 2012 to 31st in 2020, and it has entered the top ten economies with the largest improvement in the global environment for doing business for two consecutive years. In 2019, the added value of patent intensive industries will account for 11.6% of GDP. The latest statistics show that the direct output value of enterprises using special geographical indications is 639.8 billion yuan. The rapid rise of the comprehensive strength of intellectual property provides a strong support for the country's economic and social development.On April 1, 1985, on the first day of the implementation of the patent law of the people's Republic of China, Hu Guohua, an engineer from 207 Institute of the Ministry of aerospace industry, submitted China's first patent application for invention with the patent number of "85100001.0".
