"Nuclear Power" on the road of transformation and upgrading, intellectual property rights form the "Nankang model"

In the early 1990s, some Nankang people working in Guangdong began to return to their hometown to establish furniture enterprises. After more than 20 years of development, Nankang Furniture has realized the transformation from scratch and from small to large, and has become China's “Central Furniture Industry Base”.

It is particularly noteworthy that Nankang District's intellectual property development performance in the past two years is impressive: from 2013 to the first half of 2014, Nankang's patent applications and authorizations ranked first in the county-level cities (districts), 97% of which were The patent comes from the furniture industry. In Nankang, intellectual property rights are not only the patent application data that is rapidly rising, but also the “nuclear power” that promotes the transformation and upgrading of the furniture industry and the comprehensive development of the economy and society.

Who will reward who value the intellectual property?

Kang Xiaobin, general manager of Jiangxi Kanglex Furniture Co., Ltd., switched from self-employed to enterprise last year. He did not expect that the government would have a reward for filing a patent.

At the end of July, Nankang District of Chenzhou City held a patent work conference to reward 622 patents in the district. Kangle received 20,000 yuan for more than 20 design patents. What's more, Kangluxuan was also awarded the title of “Advanced Patent Enterprise” and became the only small and medium-sized enterprise among the 10 advanced enterprises. "In the initial stage of growth of the enterprise, this kind of encouragement is too important, and the strength of our product innovation is also more sufficient." Kang Xiaobin said.

In Nankang, there are more than 6,000 furniture enterprises, and the products are exported to more than 10 countries and regions. In 2013, the total output value was nearly 45 billion yuan. With the promulgation of the "Several Opinions of the State Council on Supporting the Revitalization and Development of the Central Central Soviet Area, such as Minnan" and the "Nankang Furniture Transformation and Upgrading Plan", Nankang people want to write a new story and stand on the new starting point of transformation and upgrading. Create a furniture industry group of 100 billion yuan.

Whoever rewards intellectual property is rewarded. Nankang District's "Implementation Opinions on Accelerating Industrial Transformation and Upgrading" and "Patent Funding and Incentive Measures" and other series of policies and measures have been standardized. District Mayor He Shanjin said, "To promote the transformation and upgrading of the industry, the air here must be filled with the taste of innovation."

The use of intellectual property rights to drive the county economy to achieve a new leap forward has been carried out in Nankang: a large number of enterprises have begun to actively introduce R&D and design talents, strengthen cooperation with professional institutions, establish enterprise R&D centers, and set up R&D institutions in various industrial enterprises in the region. There are 163, of which there are more than 140 furniture companies and 13 professional furniture design and development institutions.

At the same time, the government promoted the establishment of the Furniture Science and Technology Research Institute, and gathered the wisdom of self-owned brand construction from the government level, and labeled the furniture with the “Nankang Creation” label. Today, more than 95% of Nankang's authorized patents have been widely used in domestic and foreign markets, and a considerable number of patented products have become the brand's leading products.

"One-stop" service to create intellectual property highlands

The emphasis on innovation in Nankang District prompted Weiping Venture Furniture Industry Co., Ltd. to move the R&D center in Shunde, Guangdong, to the headquarters of Nankang.

However, Weiping Furniture has made a difficult problem in patent application: In the past, the R&D center was in Shunde, and the patent was basically applied in Shenzhen. Back to Nankang, since there is no patent intermediary service agency in the country, the patent must be returned to Shenzhen.

The Nankang District Science and Technology Bureau and the Intellectual Property Office have strengthened the training of talents in the patent agency industry, initiated the training of patent agents' practical skills, and established three patent intermediary service organizations through training or flexible introduction of patent agents. In addition, we insist on “sinking down”, constantly tapping the potential of patent application sources, and regularly invite provincial and municipal experts to come face-to-face to help enterprises improve their intellectual property awareness and application capabilities. Just preaching intellectual property rights, we have carried out a series of training and lecture activities, with an audience of more than 1,000 people.

Liu Weiping, general manager of Weiping Entrepreneur Furniture Industry Co., Ltd. praised Nankang's intellectual property service: “Now there is no need to go out, intellectual property departments and intermediaries will take the initiative to help apply, and the filing fee for each patent is 10% cheaper than Shenzhen. Since the beginning of this year, Weiping Furniture has successfully applied for more than 70 patents for utility models and appearances.

Into the Kaidong Intellectual Property Agency Co., Ltd., the open project of the wall-making wall is clear and conspicuous, and the enterprise wants to obtain the information of intellectual property, and it is credible. General Manager Zeng Yongchong said that the intellectual property department has almost covered all the work of the company, and the corporate policy consultation, patent application, and scientific research cooperation have all achieved "one-stop" service.

At present, the number of patent applications and authorizations in Nankang District is a “blowout” trend, and this year is expected to break through a thousand mark. The furniture industry products in the district have won 3 national well-known trademarks, 45 provincial famous trademarks and 8 provincial famous brand products.

The first county-level “rights assistance workstation” dispute

In April of this year, because the four best-selling appearance patents were infringed, the general manager of Jiangxi Jingchen Furniture Co., Ltd. Dawn Yun was very troubled. When she intends to bring the infringing company to the court, she learned that the Provincial Intellectual Property Rights Assistance Center has set up the first county-level workstation in Nankang.

This is a long road to intellectual property rights litigation. Due to the intervention of workstation law enforcement officers, I saw the dawn in a month. In the end, the infringing company signed a stop infringement agreement with Jingchen Furniture and compensated for the loss.

With the development of the furniture industry in Nankang District and the increase in the number of patent grants, the most disputed area in Nankang Furniture in the future will be intellectual property rights. In June 2013, Nankang District established the Intellectual Property Protection Coordination Office; in November of the same year, the Nankang Workstation of the Provincial Intellectual Property Rights Assistance Center was established. Wang Gongquan, the person in charge of the workstation, said that compared with the litigation approach, intellectual property rights assistance has the advantages of high efficiency, low cost of safeguarding rights, and saving judicial resources. The workstations have gathered a group of high-level intellectual property expert service teams, with professional law enforcement vehicles. Law enforcement personnel must undergo strict selection, training and assessment before they are employed. The mediation agreement reached by both parties may be applied to the court for judicial confirmation, which guarantees the enforcement of the mediation result. According to statistics, over one year, more than 100 infringement cases have been accepted, 17 cases have been successfully enforced, and 75 cases have been successfully settled.
