The latest annual report of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), World Intellectual Property Indicators, shows that in 2015, the number of Chinese patent applications exceeded that of the United States and Japan. China's ZTE and Huawei became the top ten companies in the world.

The number of overseas patent applications is directly judged by the innovation ability of a country's enterprises. Although information and communication-related enterprises continue to be at the forefront of technology research and development and patent applications in China, they still have to work hard in the jump from quantity to quality.

Communications companies' patent innovation ability is eye-catching

Compared with other big countries, 85% of China's patents come from the fields of telecommunications, computing, digital communications and audio-visual technology. Among them, leading companies are eye-catching.

According to Shen Nan, chief intellectual property officer of ZTE, ZTE has ranked in the top three international patent applications for six consecutive years, China Patent Award 7 gold 31 excellent, PCT first, chip patent China, Internet of Things patent third .

According to public data, ZTE's R&D investment in 2015 reached 12.2 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 35.4%, ranking first among domestic listed companies. As of June 30, 2016, ZTE had more than 68,000 pieces of global patent assets and more than 25,000 patents granted.

With the strength of intellectual property rights, ZTE has successfully attacked many patent complaints overseas. According to Shen Nan, since 2011, ZTE has responded to seven 337 investigations initiated by US intellectual property operating companies TPL, IDCC, Flashpoint, etc. for six consecutive years, becoming the only Chinese company to win the US “337 investigation” for five consecutive victories.

However, these victories cannot obliterate the gap between the understanding and application of international competition rules and the international giants, the disorderly market and the mutual intellectual property competition, and the development of enterprises and the “going out” of Chinese enterprises. A lot of negative effects. In this regard, Shen Nan said that ZTE is increasingly aware that domestic industry partners should adhere to an open and win-win attitude, establish industry alliances under the guidance of the government or industry associations, and reduce internal friction to form synergies.

Compared with equipment vendors, operators rarely see mutual patent litigation. Some people think that patent innovation has little to do with operators. Jia Xiaohui, Intellectual Property Center of China Information and Communication Research Institute, spoke at the "5th ICT Industry Innovation and Intellectual Property Protection Conference" hosted by the China Information and Communication Research Institute in 2016. The high-quality patents of operators are not lacking.

Public data survey shows that among the number of patents owned by major operators in the world, the number of Japanese NTT applications is 3,000-5,000, and China Mobile ranks third, about 1,500. In terms of standard patents, China Mobile ranked fourth.

5G patent application should be synchronized with the standard dispute

Involving many vertical industries, 5G is the core of the next-generation wireless communication technology revolution. It has great commercial value. The morale of promoting 5G standards in China is very high. The enthusiasm for 5G research and development and the determination to compete for 5G voice are more obvious.

According to Shen Nan, ZTE has invested more than 800 experts in research and development in the 5G field in more than 10 research institutes in China, the United States and Europe. In 2016-2018, it plans to invest 2 billion yuan. As of the end of 2015, ZTE has nearly a thousand patents related to 5G key technology related patents.

Although China's awareness of 5G patent applications has increased a lot, Wang Lei, a researcher at the Intellectual Property Research Center of the State Intellectual Property Office, said that all countries in the world are now at the beginning of 5G development. Although China is not behind, it cannot be blindly optimistic. The application should be synchronized with the 5G standard development.

Wang Lei's point of view represents the general attitude of the industry. The communication industry is a standard-oriented technology industry. As an important symbol of the core competitiveness of patents, patents are an important battlefield for standard card positions. While China is actively investing in R&D of 5G standards, only by building a strong patent library and patent protection system can we take the initiative in the current and future communication arena.

At the same time, Wang Lei emphasized that patent applications should not only focus on quantity, but also on quality. It is understood that in the current 5G patent applications, if China accounts for 30% of the total number of applications, then the United States accounts for 20%, Europe and South Korea each account for 10%, Japan accounts for half, but China's valuable 5G technology patents are still lacking. Many 5G key technologies, China has not yet formed patents, such as 5G high-frequency communication, 5G base station sleep technology that can reduce energy consumption.

Domestic mobile phone patent capability is not passive

Although patent litigation is a time-consuming and costly battle, in the increasingly fierce competition in the field of mobile communication Internet, whether it is foreign Apple, Samsung, Ericsson, or domestic Huawei, Xiaomi, Meizu, etc. have been involved in patent disputes. However, China's related mobile phone companies are not completely passive in their patent capabilities.

Liu Lirong, chairman of Jinli, told reporters that intellectual property rights are the entry vouchers for products, the booster for brand building, and the “Aegis” for the globalization of Gionee’s mobile phones. The overseas patent layout of Jinli Intellectual Property has covered countries and regions such as the United States, India and Europe. According to statistics, in 2015, the number of patent applications filed by Gionee reached more than 1,000. As of now, Gionee has accumulated more than 3,000 patent applications.

Among China's mobile phone companies, ZTE and Huawei have the most profound accumulation in the patent field. As of the end of 2015, ZTE's terminal patent assets exceeded 22,000, of which more than 4,600 patents have been granted and nearly 10,000 PCT applications. There are more than 200 patent applications for voice manipulation and over 100 patents for dual cameras.

In terms of upgrading patent capabilities, and the development of old mobile phone manufacturers, China's emerging mobile phone manufacturers often put intellectual property and patent layout at a strategic level.

Li Kaixin, executive vice president of 360 Mobile, said in an interview: "We know that patents not only represent respect for intellectual property, but also represent the core competitiveness of enterprises. Although 360 mobile phones have only a history of more than a year, they have established themselves. At the beginning, I paid great attention to the invention and application of patents. According to Li Kaixin, 360 mobile phones have applied for nearly 500 patents related to mobile phones in the one-and-a-half-year period from the establishment to the present, including mobile phone design, interaction, structure, and functions.

Although the lack of core technology in China's mobile phone industry has not yet been cured, in the transition from "technology-oriented" to "consumer-oriented", China's mobile phone manufacturers have introduced many innovative technologies, applications and services around materials, design and functions.
