One of the biggest concerns amongst business owners is the protection of their products and their ideas. For those based here, U.S. patents and trademarks are a great start to adding some legal security to intellectual property, but these do little to protect products in other countries.
The matter of IP protection is a common topic of discussion when manufacturing in China. This is why obtaining patents or trademarks in China is recommended if plans to manufacture there are in your present or future.
The China IP system has been evolving rapidly. While early on, protection and enforcement was lacking, today there is much more security. As China works to continue to evolve its economy and become more innovative, an understanding of the importance of respecting IP rights has become much more apparent. The country’s government knows that in order to reach the economic status it desires, it needs to instill trust within the manufacturing industry.
Changes to China’s IP laws have already been made in an effort to better protect businesses and IP protection has enrooted into most local business sectors.
Under the 13th Five Year Plan for the Protection and Enforcement of Intellectual Property, the Chinese government has been actively enforcing patent law. Main objectives of the plan include: to promote IP creation and utilization; to strengthen IP protection and management; and to expand international IP cooperation. Since the plan was implemented, there has been a lot of progress. As China’s social sophistication continues to grow, government enforcement will further strengthen, and information regarding IP protection will become even more transparent.
It’s not the same China that it used to be. Still, just like anywhere, there will always be a handful of people that don’t play by the rules, but today most do — the long-term consequences are too great for them to not. It just so happens that the number of factories is magnified in China. However, it is important to obtain patents for products in order to have legal protection and legal grounds if anything were to come up. Additionally, a local presence to monitor your subcontractors routinely is helpful.
China has three main types of patents: Invention, utility model, and design
Invention patents are granted for new technical solutions or improvements to a product or process. They have the strongest and longest protection of up to 20 years if renewed each year. However, since invention patents require international search and examination, they take the longest to obtain, often between two to five years.
Utility model patents apply to new technical solutions or improvements relating to the shape or structure of a physical product; processes are not included. While formal examination is still required, processing time is usually within a year since utility model patents are not as innovative as invention patents. Protection is up to just 10 years, though still renewable each year.
A design patent protects the external appearance of the product only. All technical aspects are excluded. A design patent is renewable upon the end of each year from submission date for application, for up to 10 years. These are usually granted within a year.
Trademark registration is also available. It requires an in-depth examination from China government offices. A trademark must have exclusive nature. It cannot be identical, similar, defaming, or coherent to existing names, symbols, slogans, or signs. Due to the nature of examination, it usually takes 12-18 months of processing time in China to get a trademark registered if everything goes well. A trademark, like a patent, also has right of priority following WTO convention. The registration is usually valid for 10 years.
It is important to note that there are special rules and regulations when trying to protect IP in multiple countries via patents and trademarks, the U.S. and China, for example. Look into these and make a plan before taking action so that you don’t end up getting locked out of legal IP protection in one place or another.
China is changing. If you exercise due diligence and choose a factory that has been vetted and has a good track record, odds are your product will be as safe in China as it is anywhere else. Especially with a patent or two to back you up.

专题（二）下：谷歌（Google）成功背后重要功臣，专利！
上篇文章提及谷歌运用专利转化为企业盈利，趁互联网的崛起，它开发了PageRank核心技术。通过创新的商业模式，谷歌将网络浏览交通量转化为网上广告收入，造就如今搜索引擎公司以及手机操作系统的龙头老大。续上篇，本文将探讨谷歌在面对移动型经济(mobile economy) 时代的新浪潮，如何通过大量的收购第三方有关手机移动技术之专利为其手机操作系统安卓 (Android)护航。
专利护航安卓（Android）进入移动经济时代
2011年7月29日，苹果(Apple)、爱立信(Ericsson)、微软(Microsoft)、行动研究(RIM)及索尼(SONY)合组Rockstar公司，以45亿美元收购北电网路(Nortel Networks Corporation)包括其6000多项专利。这些专利涵盖了无线、数据系统、光学、声音、互联网、服务提供商和半导体等相关技术类别，其中甚至还涉及网络搜索和社交网络技术。然而此次收购，谷歌(Google)和英特尔(Intel)却败下阵来。
专利是一种垄断权利，也是通行证。Rockstar收购北电网路的举动影响行业的权利平衡，触动了谷歌的神经线。谷歌眼见大势不妙，立即进行反击，以125亿美元的天价收购摩托罗拉(Motorola)逾 1万7000多项电子通讯及网际网路相关的专利。如此一来，谷歌的收购行为可被视为自身保御，确保继续享有搜索技术及手机安卓系统通行证。此举也让安卓厂商面对苹果的威胁时具备更有力的条件。
除了收购摩托罗拉，谷歌也从IBM, YOUTUBE, HTC 收购了1000多项专利为开拓新兴市场护航。下图为谷歌史前十大最大专利收购案。
强大专利库，扩大市场占有额
上圖表为谷歌2009至2016年的專利授權數據表 。授权专利数量在2011年至2015年明显增加。2010年初期，智能手机诉讼案逐渐增加，谷歌加快申请专利的步伐也不惜花大钱收购科技公司为安卓护航。 随着谷歌开始业务多元化，谷歌专利数量也随之增加。根据CBINSIGHTS分析，2012年开始谷歌专利申请重点大部分都是在无人驾驶汽车、谷歌眼镜以及可穿戴设备。谷歌的无人驾驶汽车项目已经从测试阶段成熟，目前已为多名参与者提供免费出行服务。随着Project Loon项目，以气球为动力提供网络接入服务的项目不断发展，“Balloon热气球”也在2014年开始出现，并在2016年成为专利申请其中最多的领域。据IFI Claims 2016年美国专利授权数量排名，谷歌在2014进入前十名，并在2015年排列第五，2016年依然稳坐第五。
从谷歌申请与收购的专利项目可见，谷歌专利涉及的领域包括了机器人相关的人工智能、计算机视觉以及无人车和无人机。除此之外还包涵了云计算和云存储、移动设备、可穿戴技术如交互式纺织品，以及增强现实、虚拟现实技术和智能家居设备。由此可见，强大的专利庫验证了谷歌掌握许多的先进技术，在开拓新兴市场掌握更多先机，打技术专利战争拥有更多的胜算。随之，不但能为谷歌带来可观的专利费收入，更能確保市場佔有额及源源不断的盈利。
谷歌公司的成功无疑为广大创新型企业提供了一个绝佳的榜样，也带给我们启示：无论在科技或其他行业，一个新创企业想要获得成功，先是要开发出自己的核心技术，并围绕这一核心技术构筑起坚实的专利保护圈，或通过策略性的收购第三方专利,并按照自身的特点制定合适的专利战略，这样才能在市场竞争中立于不败之地。
