In order to thoroughly implement the "patent agency regulations" and strengthen the supervision during and after the event, according to the unified requirements of the State Intellectual Property Office, Jiangsu Provincial Intellectual Property Office on February 5 launched the work of submitting the 2020 annual report of Jiangsu Provincial Patent Agency. All provincial patent agencies approved to set up before December 31, 2020 should log in to the patent agency management system of the State Intellectual Property Office from March 1, 2021 and submit the 2020 annual report, striving to complete the submission work before March 15.

In order to fully promote the annual report work of patent agencies, the Provincial Intellectual Property Office takes the annual report as an important starting point for streamlining administration and decentralization, combining decentralization with management, and optimizing services. It plans, deploys, and starts early to continuously optimize the annual report submission mechanism. First, it strengthens organizational leadership. We should fully mobilize the strength of all relevant parties, require all institutions to assign special personnel to be responsible for the annual report submission, do a good job in statistics and summary of relevant information in advance, and form a joint force in the annual report work; second, focus on key groups. Through media announcements and other forms, we should urge patent agencies to complete the annual report on time, especially to remind the newly established patent agencies by telephone in 2020; third, we should carry out business guidance. The Provincial Intellectual Property Office arranges special personnel to consult and guide the submission of annual reports of patent agencies, so as to provide high-quality services for the submission of annual reports of patent agencies in the whole province.

The Provincial Intellectual Property Office reminds the patent agencies that, first, they should enhance the consciousness of submitting annual reports on their own initiative, and report according to law on time. Those who fail to submit within the time limit will be listed in the list of abnormal business operations; second, they should enhance the accuracy of the information submitted, fill in the annual report truthfully and accurately, and be responsible for the authenticity and consistency of the information in the annual report. The Provincial Intellectual Property Office will include the annual report into the "double list" If any inconsistency is found, it will be listed in the list of abnormal business operation according to the relevant provisions of the state; third, it is necessary to raise vigilance against illegal acts. We should pay attention to the information about the annual report, such as calls, wechat, SMS and so on. We should not click on the links of unfamiliar websites. We should not easily disclose personal privacy information, especially the bank card password and verification code. We should pay attention to the security of funds and guard against Telecom fraud. Fourth, we should grasp the differences of the annual reports of market entities. The annual report of patent agency belongs to the special business report, which is not equal to the annual report of market subject. The two cannot be equal or substituted. It is necessary to publicize the annual report of market subject in 2020 according to the requirements of market supervision department while doing well the annual report of patent agency.
