Ningbo was selected in the country's first batch of pilots, which is related to intellectual property rights

Recently, news from the Ningbo Market Supervision Bureau: The first batch of intellectual property disputes announced by the State Intellectual Property Office quickly handled pilot areas, and 9 provinces (municipalities), 16 cities, and 3 cities (counties, districts) across the country were shortlisted. Ningbo is among the only municipal -level pilot areas selected in Zhejiang Province.

This means that Ningbo will take advantage of the aspects of improving the speed and quality of intellectual property disputes and the quality of intellectual property rights "full chain" protection efficiency.

The current international situation has undergone profound changes, the economic and trade environment at home and abroad is becoming increasingly complicated, and the number of cases of intellectual property disputes in Ningbo has risen rapidly.

Especially in 2021, the number of cases in 2017 increased by 361%. From the perspective of patent infringement, the exterior design patent infringement cases and practical new patent infringement cases accounted for the most, which also shows that the appearance design and practical new patent infringement disputes are more suitable for the use of convenient and efficient administrative channels.

At the same time, Western countries have frequently used the intellectual property system to build a trade barrier, and Ningbo companies are facing severe tests in the international market. Taking the U.S. Intellectual Property Litigation as an example, from 2016 to 2021, the total number of Ningbo enterprises in the U.S. intellectual property litigation cases exceeded 200, starting 221 new cases, 176 cases, and the number of new cases in 2021 increased by 126.09% from 2016 to 2016 Essence It can be seen that intellectual property rights, rights, and rights protection have become issues that cannot be ignored in the internationalization process of our city.

Accelerating the dispute between intellectual property rights, it is of practical significance for promoting the innovation and development of Ningbo's industrial innovation, promoting the "six major changes", and accelerating the construction of the "six capitals".

During the pilot process, the city will rely on China (Ningbo) Intellectual Property Protection Center to establish a rapid handling mechanism for intellectual property disputes, deepen the rapid collaborative protection mechanism of intellectual property rights, optimize the rapid protection procedures for intellectual property rights, and significantly reduce the cycle of intellectual property rights protection.

"We plan to establish a rapid handling mechanism for intellectual property disputes through one year's efforts to discover the rapid handling channel of intellectual property disputes." The relevant person in charge of the Ningbo Market Supervision Bureau said that Ningbo will strive to achieve the overall case handling cycle compared to the legal case time limit compression. 50%, the administrative ruling of intellectual property ruling was shortened to one month, and the goal of creating a pilot demonstration center for the rapid handling of intellectual property disputes.
