In particular, the province established an efficient integrated IPR management system and steadily advanced IPR reform. It made overall planning and promoted the implementation of the IPR strategy, strengthened the law-based IPR protection, and improved the full chain IPR protection mechanism. The province?stepped up the effort in becoming a demonstration province for the country's IP power and a world-class IP province within the Greater Bay Area (Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area).
I. Promoting Overall Planningof IPR Protection
Strengthening the overall planning.?Both the CPC Guangdong Provincial Committee and the Guangdong Provincial People's Government attach great importance to IPR protection. The Commission for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms of the CPC provincial committee convened a special meeting on issues related to IPR, and the provincial government held executive meetings to study and deploy?key IPR initiatives. Besides, the Guangdong?Provincial?People's Government and the China National Intellectual Property Administration collaborated on the theme of "building Guangdong into a world-class province strong on IPR in the Greater Bay Area", and?drafted the key tasks for 2025-2026 under this joint initiative, aiming to create a hub for?IP international cooperation?in the Greater Bay Area.
Enhancing law-based protection.?The province continued to implement local IPR regulations including the Guangdong IPR Protection Regulations, the Guangdong Copyright Regulations, and the Guangdong Geographical Indication (GI) Regulations. The province issued policy documents such as the Implementation Plan for the Special Action on Patent Transformation and Utilization in Guangdong Province?to vigorously promote the industrialization of patents. The Office of the Guangdong Provincial Joint Conference on Intellectual Property Strategy Implementation issued the 2024 Annual Progress Plan for Building Guangdong into a Province Strong in IPR and the Implementation of the 14th Five-Year Plan. The Guangdong Administration for Market Regulation (Guangdong Intellectual Property Administration) issued the Implementation Opinions on Strengthening Administrative Adjudication of Patent Infringement Disputes in the New Era?in collaboration with the Department of Justice of Guangdong Province. Additionally, it released the Action Plan for Comprehensively Enhancing the Efficiency of Intellectual Property Public Services to Support All-Round Innovation (2024-2026).
Promoting Pilot Demonstrations. Guangzhou and Shenzhen accelerated the development of national IPR demonstration zones. Continuous efforts were made to develop 10 national pilot demonstration cities, 21 pilot demonstration counties, and 8 pilot demonstration zones. The province built 5 national pilot areas for innovative trade secret protection, including Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Foshan, and Jiangmen, ranking first in China by the number of pilot areas. Besides, the province developed 24 pilot areas under the Golden Inner Bay Trade Secret Protection Innovation Program, along with more than 900 protection bases and service stations of various types. Two initiatives, namely "Guangzhou Development District in Guangdong Province pioneers multiple overseas intellectual property insurance schemes to support enterprises in going global" and "Guangdong Technology-transfer Center for the Commercialization of University Innovations expedites the transfer of university patents", were listed as exemplary cases in the third batch of typical cases for building a nation strong in IPR.
II. Vigorously Enhancing Coordinated IPR Development in the Greater Bay Area
Enhancing Guangdong-Hong Kong and Guangdong-Macao IPR cooperation.?The province implemented the Guangdong-Macao IPR Cooperation Agreement (2023-2025)and concludedtheGuangdong-Hong Kong?IPR Cooperation Agreement(2024-2025)to foster IPR cooperation and exchanges in the Greater Bay Area, thereby promoting high-quality development in the region.
