The fourteenth five year plan for national economic and social development of the people's Republic of China and the outline of long-term goals for 2035 (Draft) put forward that we should adhere to innovation driven development and accelerate the development of modern industrial system. As practitioners of innovation, state-owned enterprises and institutions undertake the important mission of tackling key scientific and technological problems and a large number of major scientific and technological projects invested by the government. How to fully release their development momentum?

Meng Fengchao, member of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference and former Secretary of the Party committee and chairman of the board of directors of China Railway Construction Group Co., Ltd., also holds the post of president of China Patent Protection Association, and understands the importance of intellectual property work for enterprises. "We need to link and integrate the operation of intellectual property system with the construction of national innovation system at a deeper level." He said.

Meng Fengchao said that China's state-owned enterprises and institutions still have shortcomings in intellectual property management. "At present, the intellectual property management of state-owned enterprises and institutions is generally extensive, and it is difficult to effectively transform the national strategic investment into intellectual property resources to ensure industrial security."

Relevant surveys show that only 17.6% of universities and 9.5% of scientific research institutions have established full-time intellectual property management institutions, and some central science and technology enterprises have only one or two full-time personnel, which does not match the scale of science and technology input and intellectual property output.

"As far as national science and technology project management is concerned, intellectual property management has not been given due attention." Meng Fengchao said that in the process of project approval, many state-owned enterprises and institutions did not effectively use patent navigation to achieve innovation from a higher starting point and guide the development of scientific patent layout; in project management, they did not reasonably set corresponding performance objectives for intellectual property rights, did not establish quality and industrialization guidance, and formed the quality of intellectual property rights for key technologies and subsequent transformation and implementation It is difficult to evaluate the situation effectively. 

Meng Fengchao believes that the strategic layout of intellectual property rights of key core technologies is one of the key factors to promote the transformation of China's intellectual property work from pursuing quantity to improving quality. We need to fully mobilize state-owned enterprises and institutions to participate in it, improve the management mechanism of science and technology projects, improve the output performance of financial input, and use intellectual property rights to protect major scientific and technological achievements.

"It is suggested to vigorously improve the intellectual property management ability of state-owned enterprises and institutions, build a standardized intellectual property management system, and implement the whole process of intellectual property management innovation." Meng Fengchao said that we should increase investment in intellectual property, strengthen the allocation of intellectual property specialists and other forces, and strengthen the coordination and linkage between intellectual property and scientific and technological research and development, strategic planning, financial assets and other departments. We should optimize the assessment and evaluation mechanism, firmly establish the patent quality orientation, avoid counting the patent achievements simply, draw lessons from the paper representative work evaluation system, and focus on the creation and reserve of key technology core patents.

"China should establish a patent declaration system for financially funded scientific research projects." Meng Fengchao said that the establishment of the declaration system will help the government to scientifically evaluate the quality of patent output and application effect of financial funded projects, and promote their effective application. We can learn from the relevant practices of other countries, and indicate the funded project information in the patent application documents through appropriate ways, so as to provide strong support for the effective monitoring, performance analysis and scientific management of related patents.

At the same time, Meng Fengchao proposed to strengthen the whole process management of intellectual property rights of financial funded research projects. Establish and improve the national science and technology project intellectual property management mechanism, according to the types and characteristics of various types of scientific research projects, reasonably set intellectual property output objectives and evaluation indicators. We should strengthen cross departmental collaboration and information sharing, rely on the patent declaration system, timely discover and feed back the application quality problems of patents produced by financial funded scientific research projects in the process of patent examination, and guide and optimize the patent layout of major projects. The project undertakers are encouraged to carry out patent navigation analysis in key areas, continuously improve the patent layout ability, and build a patent protection network for major scientific and technological achievements.

Zhou Hongyu: intellectual property protection helps vaccine "go global"

This year is the 19th year for Zhou Hongyu, a deputy to the National People's Congress and a professor of central China Normal University, to perform his duties as a deputy to the National People's Congress. Every year before the two sessions of the National People's Congress, Zhou Hongyu makes extensive research and carefully writes relevant suggestions. At the NPC and CPPCC sessions novel coronavirus pneumonia, Zhou Hongyu submitted more than 30 recommendations. The new crown vaccine is still one of the key topics.

"Last year, novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine research and development and other related initiatives were put forward to be included in the NPC's key supervision recommendations." Zhou Hongyu said that this year, his focus is to promote the joint research and development of universal coronavirus vaccine and help China's vaccine "go global".

Zhou Hongyu stressed: "novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine research and development has made effective progress in China, and has laid out 5 technical routes. Vaccine research and development is highly technical and professional, so we need to establish a collaborative innovation mechanism and strengthen intellectual property protection. "

Zhou Hongyu has found that novel coronavirus pneumonia has achieved some breakthrough in technology research and development, but still faces some difficulties in the collaborative innovation and international cooperation of the vaccine industry chain. For example, novel coronavirus pneumonia vaccine technology research and development urgently need to establish industrial chain collaborative innovation mechanism, and promote basic research and technology application closely linked. Our new crown vaccine still faces many difficulties in "going out" process, and we need to strengthen intellectual property protection.

In view of how to establish the collaborative innovation mechanism of vaccine industry chain, Zhou Hongyu suggested that the relevant departments of the state can build a public health product research and development platform, jointly carry out scientific research, accelerate the formation of the industry university research and application cooperation mechanism with close connection between basic research and technology application, and the collaborative cooperation between universities, institutes and research enterprises; at the same time, under the drive of the relevant departments of the state, enterprises and other innovators should be promoted We will promote the integration of traditional vaccine R & D technology and emerging cutting-edge technology, and accelerate the process of vaccine R & D.

Zhou Hongyu believes that it is very important to strengthen cooperation and information sharing. Since the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak, novel coronavirus pneumonia patent information research report was released by the State Intellectual Property Office. The report on patent information mining was launched around the hot and difficult directions and key technologies of the treatment of new crown pneumonia, and tried to screen out more potential therapeutic drugs, so as to provide reference for scientific research work. Novel coronavirus pneumonia is very important for accelerating the development of new crown vaccine and fighting the new crown pneumonia virus in China. Zhou Hongyu said.

"When China's independently developed vaccines enter the overseas market, they face many technical barriers." Zhou Hongyu suggested that China should vigorously promote the internationalization of vaccine clinical trials, promote the capitalization of clinical trial data, copy and promote the overseas clinical experience of domestic enterprises, speed up the establishment of an international cooperation platform, participate in more international clinical alliances and R & D public organizations, and take the responsibility of a big country in the global medical and health services.

"In the process of" going global ", China's vaccines should constantly break the technical barriers and strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, which will contribute to the further innovation of vaccines." Zhou Hongyu said.

Xie Shanghua: the transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Colleges and universities needs precise strategies

Since 2016, Sichuan has carried out bold institutional reform and innovation to promote the three transformations of intellectual property rights of scientific and technological achievements of colleges and universities from "pure state-owned" to "mixed ownership", from "transformation before confirmation" to "transformation after confirmation", and from "incentive benefits" to "equity benefits". In this practice, Southwest Jiaotong University, Sichuan University and other colleges and universities have successively carried out the reform of intellectual property rights, and a number of scientific and technological achievements have achieved rapid transformation, which is known as the "Xiaogang Village experiment" in the field of science and education. As a participant in this reform, Xie Shanghua, member of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference and director of Sichuan Intellectual Property Service Promotion Center, has always been very concerned about the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. In her research, she found that in the process of transformation of scientific and technological achievements in Colleges and universities, there are still "roadblocks" such as the pressure of State-owned Assets Preservation and the lack of professional transformation team.

Will the mistakes in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements be prosecuted afterwards? This is a common concern of many colleges and universities. Xie Shanghua said that this work needs to be promoted by multiple government departments, relevant systems and mechanisms need to be improved, and the joint force of reform has not yet been fully formed. At the same time, the relevant departments have not issued specific trial and error, fault tolerance, error correction mechanisms and methods, and the person in charge of colleges and universities is worried about being "settled in the autumn".

"It is necessary for relevant ministries and commissions to work together to formulate specific guidance to support the transformation and transfer of scientific and technological achievements; to clarify specific fault tolerance and error correction situations and exemption provisions, to highlight the exemption of three key objects, including the" top leaders "of the unit, reform promoters and scientific researchers, and to clearly include errors caused by non subjective intention into the scope of exemption, so as to reduce their decision-making and responsibility in the reform Promote and implement risk management. " Xie Shanghua said.

On the other hand, Xie Shanghua noted that due to the lack of incentives for the transformation team of scientific and technological achievements, the team's professional ability is not strong, and there is a serious lack of high-level technical managers.

"A lot of transformation work needs to be carried out in the process of scientific and technological achievements from laboratory to industrial application, and professional teams should be allowed to do professional things." Xie Shanghua said that in the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, we should fully mobilize the enthusiasm of these people, so that they can actively improve their ability and participate in the transformation.

Xie Shanghua suggested that we should increase the profit distribution incentives of transformation operation organizations and achievement transformation teams, learn from the practices of other countries, establish a "four three" distribution system for inventors, universities and transformation teams, and speed up the construction of intellectual property technology managers.

Xie Shanghua said that at present, a special intellectual property technology manager Committee has been set up in Sichuan to enhance the professional ability of the scientific and technological achievements transformation team of colleges and universities, personnel of intellectual property service institutions, and personnel of enterprise intellectual property department through training.

"The functions and responsibilities of universities and scientific research institutes are not the same, so we can't do" one size fits all. " Xie Shanghua said that colleges and universities are mainly engaged in basic research or laboratory technology innovation, and the transfer and transformation of R & D achievements is costly and difficult. The reform of service invention in Colleges and universities should focus on the breakthrough of intellectual property ownership, and simultaneously promote the reform of disposal right and income right. Scientific research institutes mainly serve the national strategy to tackle key problems in science and technology, and some scientific research institutes mainly carry out technological innovation to meet the market demand. The reform should focus on the reform of right of use and right of return. We should aim at the different demands of colleges and universities for the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, treat them differently and focus on them, and strive to achieve accurate policy implementation and improve the transfer and transformation rate of scientific and technological achievements.

At the same time, Xie Shanghua suggested that we should speed up the improvement of relevant policies and regulations, and strive to break the institutional barriers to the transformation of scientific and technological achievements. "At present, China still has not established a management method suitable for colleges and universities with the characteristics of intellectual property rights, which has caused pressure on the implementation of the transformation project of colleges and universities. Therefore, laws and regulations at the national level should focus on solving the obstacles to the reform of the ownership system of intellectual property rights of service inventions, and provincial policy documents should be further sorted out and improved to solve the problem of separate policies of departments.
