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（一）：电商龙头亚马逊（Amazon）混合“盈利”与“知识产权”坐稳市场
今年九月第一个交易日（4日），根据《CNBC》报道，亚马逊股价涨至2050.5美元创新记录，紧追苹果（Apple），成为第二家突破1兆美元的美国上市企业。 同时，亚马逊执行长杰弗里•贝索斯（Jeff Bezos）的身价也在4日跳至1656亿美元，成为全球首富。什么可以让他变成世界首富，无疑就是知识产权无形资产。
亚马逊专利史
从事金融工作的贝索斯在1995年创立了网路书店亚马逊，号称“地球上最大的书店”。那时候的亚马逊其实有点像“跑腿”，用户下单后，贝索斯和他的员工们就去找出版社买书，然后再寄给买家，所以是零存库，没有囤货危机。
贝索斯认为，比起盈利，不如发现新商机、获得领先技术。为了迎合当年消费者的习惯，亚马逊还推出了充值卡片，方便在线购物。贝索斯的事业历程，总是与“快速反应”、“抢先一步”密不可分的。在 1997 年亚马逊首次提交“一键下单”专利申请，并于 1999 年获得美国专利与商标办公室（USPTO）的批准。当时，这项专利引起了许多爭议，因为要在网络上卖东西的人，都被这项专利禁止使用“一键购买”的选项。
截止2018年，亚马逊正在申请大约500项专利。后期分析发现，亚马逊正加强在视频、智能家居与增强现实（AR）技术等领域，包括增强现实镜子、 通过对用户隐私进行像素化以“静音”Echo视频模式、检测遭到黑客袭击自动驾驶汽车的技术等等。
以上亚马逊专利史显现亚马逊不间断研发新科技改善使用习惯。但，其也不吝啬将每一项研发申请专利。在数码与科技发达的时代，抄袭随处可见，产品在发布的隔一天可能会出现仿冒品。仿冒出现，正品销售必受重创，企业名誉也会受损。如果亚马逊没有将其研发做专利，它可能没有额外资金研发更多产品，也可能因一样的研发而被告侵权。从亚马逊的研发中发现，每一项专利都保护着他同时间也帮其得到额外的利润。就以亚马逊最为轰烈的专利，“一键下单”为例。
“一键下单”专利 (One-Click)
亚马逊1999年获得“一键下单”。 这项专利的核心内容是，如果用户已经在网站上完成过购物，即已经保存过支付和地址等信息，那么在之后的购买过程中就无需再重复提交这些信息，只需一次点击就可以完成购买。据统计，“一键下单”这笔买卖能为亚马逊带来约 24 亿美元的收益。
美国最大的实体零售书店巴诺书店（Barnes & Noble）曾于 1998年5月推出了自己的快速结算系统——“快速通道”（Express Lane）。与亚马逊的“一键下单”类似，巴诺书店只是把结算步骤拓展到了“两键下单”：当用户点击了“快速购买”按钮后，系统会弹出第二个按钮让其确认。
这当然引发了亚马逊的不满，他们于专利获得正式授权的3个月后，正式起诉巴诺书店侵权。1999 年 12 月，美国华盛顿州的地方法院对案件做出判决，禁止巴诺书店再使用“快速通道”。在经过数年的诉讼之后，双方终于在 2002 年达成和解。
然而，这类的购物模式虽然看起来简单，但却被亚马逊捷足先登申请了专利，任何想要使用这项功能的人，都必须向亚马逊支付专利费。经过协商，苹果公司向亚马逊支付了”一键下单“专利的授权使用费，并在 iTunes Store 和 iPhoto 中添加此功能。
亚马逊在“一键购买”的服务上取得成功，主要是这项发明成功获得专利，並阻止竞爭者使用这项专利，为其带来额外获利。儘管这並不是复杂的发明，但专利的申请却让“一键购买”成为专属服务。
亚马逊一直往“简化消费者购物流程”前进，也依靠申请的专利获利颇丰。大多数的专利並非是巨大的发明创造，从专利法的角度来看，一个用于解决某一个技术问题的简单方案，不一定缺乏创造性，並且都有机会申请专利来保护与得到额外利润。
无论是在科技领域或是传统產业领域，企业的核心竞爭力都是知识產权。知识產权可帮助企业確定並维护自己专有的市场优势，这是知识產权带来的好处。
寻求知识產权的专业人士及律师的协助，有助于提高专利申请的成功率，並且为企业带来更高的利润。
