  China ranks 11th, having moved up gently but without pause in the past decade! The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), on September 29, released its Global Innovation Index (GII) 2022, underlining that China has been consolidating its position as a global innovation powerhouse and contributing tremendously in supporting global R & D investment. 'This year's GII finds that innovation is at a crossroads as we emerge from the pandemic,' WIPO Director General Daren Tang says. What China has achieved exhibits the effects generated by a country that treats innovation as a growth engine and gives tremendous attention to it. China has been building its innovation ecosystem in a very comprehensive way, which is an important factor ensuring its success. 'Our country has been steadily moving up the ranking for 10 consecutive years, leaving behind a trial of 23 rungs in the ladder, which reflects the significant advancement of our comprehensive strength in IP and innovation capacity in sci-tech and proves that our efforts in executing renewed development concepts, implementing innovation-driven growth strategies and heightening IP protection have paid off,' CNIPA (China National Intellectual Property Administration) Deputy Commissioner Hu Wenhui announces at the IP in the Decade press conference. Continuing production of quality results Quality is a key word for this year's GII. 'While innovation investments surged in 2020 and 2021, the outlook for 2022 is clouded not just by global uncertainties but continued underperformance in innovation-driven productivity. This is why we need to pay more attention to not just investing in innovation, but how it translates into economic and social impact. Quality and value will become as critical to success as quantity and scale,' Tang summarizes. Accordingly, the GII has two top-level sub-indexes, innovation input rank and innovation output rank, which are further split into seven pillars such as institutions, knowledge and technology outputs. Under them, there are 81 indicators. China is the top performer in nine such indicators including domestic market scale and patents by origin; ranks among the best in domestic industry diversification and state of cluster development and depth, particularly being home to two of the top five sci-tech clusters as shown in the latter indicator with Shenzhen-Hong Kong-Guangzhou and Beijing taking second and third place; performs well in global brand value, intellectual property receipts out of total trade and other IP-related indicators. 'This indicates that innovation is commensurate with development in China. Innovation is accelerating to become a robust engine in driving quality growth,' Hu says, from 2012 to 2021, R & D investment of the entire country surged from 1.03 to 2.79 trillion yuan. Invention patents owned by per 10,000 population (not including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) skyrocketed from 3.2 to 19.1. Social satisfaction over IP protection rose from 60.39 to 80.61 reading points. China has walked an IP development path with its own characteristics in the past decade. 'China's planning in innovation has paid dividends in its continuing uptick in the GII ranking and outstanding performance in creative outputs and other indicators,' Yi Jiming, Director of International IP Research Center of Peking University comments. Internet plus, artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies are budding, opening up space for numerous creative ideas. Sticking with R & D investment and policy encouragement, China can continue translate its innovation inputs into more innovation outputs with higher quality. Faster integration into global innovation waves According to the GII, digital age innovation waves and deep science innovation waves are the two greatest waves in global innovation-driven growth. As one of the most active countries in digitalization, China has been a quick up and comer in taking up the shares of digital technology patents and one of the perennial leaders in digital economy scale. Out of the 35 WIPO-defined technology fields, as of July 2022, the top three fields of valid Chinese invention patents are computer technology (284,000, 9.3%)，measurement (235,000, 7.7%), digital telecommunications (210,000, 6.9%). In the eyes of Yu Xiang, Director of China-Europe IP Research Institute, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in the digital economy era, China shall inspire development of artificial intelligence, biotech and other key technology fields while establishing and refining innovation-related legislations and policies on ethics and fairness, advocating healthy development of technological innovation, which can enable technological innovation to become truly positive productivity benefiting the whole mankind on a sustainable basis. Accession to the Hague Agreement and the Marrakesh Treaty; conclusion of an agreement on protection and cooperation of geographical indications (GI) with Europe, which leads to mutual recognition of combined 244 GIs from both sides; 30 partners in PPH (patent prosecution highway) cooperation and many other materialized results all indicate China has become an essential participant in international frontier innovation and a key contributor to solution of global issues. In the future, China will continue cooperation with other countries in sci-tech and innovation in a more open stance to contribute more for balanced, inclusive and sustainable development of the global IP system.(by Xue Peiwen)  中国排名第11位，连续10年稳步提升！9月29日，世界知识产权组织（WIPO）发布2022年《全球创新指数报告》（GII），其中强调，中国巩固了其作为全球创新强国的地位，在支撑全球研发投入方面发挥了重要作用。 “今年的GII发现，随着我们走出大流行病，创新正处于一个十字路口。”WIPO总干事邓鸿森表示，中国取得的成绩显示了一个国家将创新作为增长引擎并给予大量关注的效果。中国以非常全面的方式建设创新生态系统，这是其成功的一个重要因素。 “我们国家的排名连续第10年稳步上升，已经累计提升了23位，展示出我国知识产权综合实力和科技创新能力显著进步，也印证了我国贯彻新发展理念，实施创新驱动发展战略，加强知识产权保护所取得的巨大成就。”中国国家知识产权局副局长胡文辉在“知识产权这十年”专题新闻发布会上表示。 持续产出高质量成果 纵观今年的GII，“高质量”是一大关注焦点。“质量和价值对成功的重要性不亚于数量和规模。”邓鸿森介绍，尽管近两年来全球范围内创新投资激增，但创新驱动生产力方面持续的下滑表现等因素给世界创新发展前景带来了不确定性。在此背景下，如何将创新投资转化为经济和社会影响力至关重要。 对此，GII从创新投入和创新产出两个方面，设置了政策环境、知识与技术产出等7个大类81项细分指标。结果显示，中国在国内市场规模、本国人专利申请等9项细分指标上排名全球第一；在国内产业多元化、产业集群发展情况等指标上名列前茅，特别是在世界五大科技集群中独占两席，深圳-香港-广州、北京地区分列第二、三位；在品牌价值、知识产权收入等知识产权高质量发展指标上表现良好。 “这意味着中国的创新与发展呈现出良好的正向关系，创新加快成长为推动高质量发展的有力引擎。”胡文辉表示，从2012年到2021年，全社会研发投入从1.03万亿元增长到2.79万亿元，国内（不含港澳台）每万人口发明专利拥有量从3.2件提升至19.1件，知识产权保护社会满意度从63.69分提升到了80.61分……十年来，中国走出了一条具有中国特色的知识产权发展之路。 “中国在创新方面的布局促进了其GII排名的不断提升，以及在创意产出等指标上的优异表现。”北京大学国际知识产权研究中心主任易继明指出，“互联网 ”、人工智能等新技术正在孕育，这当中存在着无数的创新点。坚持科技研发的持续投入与产业政策的引导扶持，中国的创新投入将转化为更多更高质量的创新产出。 加快融入全球创新浪潮 GII指出，“数字时代创新浪潮”和“深层科学创新浪潮”是全球创新驱动增长的两大浪潮。近年来，作为数字化发展最活跃的国家之一，中国数字技术领域专利所占比重快速提高，数字经济规模连续多年稳居世界前列。数据显示，按照WIPO划分的35个技术领域统计，截至2022年7月，中国发明专利有效量排名前三的领域依次是计算机技术领域（28.4万件，占比9.3%）、测量领域（为23.5万件，占比7.7%）和数字通信领域（为21.0万件，比占6.9%）。 在华中科技大学中欧知识产权研究院院长余翔看来，在数字经济时代，中国既要注重引导人工智能、生物技术等重点技术领域的发展，又要建立健全保障安全、伦理和公平原则的创新法律制度和政策，推动技术创新实现良性发展，真正让技术创新成为持续造福全人类的正向生产力。 加入海牙协定和马拉喀什条约；签署中欧地理标志保护与合作协定，244个中欧地理标志实现互认互保；专利审查高速路（PPH）合作伙伴达到30个……一项项成果表明，中国已成为国际前沿创新的重要参与者，以及共同解决全球性问题的重要贡献者。期待未来，中国将以更加开放的姿态继续同各国加强科技创新合作，为全球知识产权平衡、包容、可持续发展作出更大贡献。（薛佩雯）  （文章来源：中国知识产权报） |
