On November 6, the 15th China International Patent Technology and Products Fair announced that China's valid domestic invention patents have surpassed 5.8 million, with high-value invention patents reaching 17.2 per 10,000 people. A number of key core technology patents have been deployed in future industries such as quantum technology, biomanufacturing, brain-computer interfaces, and 6G communications. During the three-year special campaign for patent transformation and application, patent transfer and licensing filings nationwide totaled 1.458 million, up 48% year on year. The industrialization rates of invention patents in universities and research institutions reached 10.1% and 17.2%, respectively—increases of 6.2 and 3.9 percentage points compared with before the campaign—as a large number of previously "sleeping" patents have successfully been brought to market.
