At present, the integrated development of intellectual property protection and related public services is becoming an indispensable part of the coordinated development of the region. Among them, the Yangtze River Delta region has been at the forefront of the "team" of intellectual property integration.
This year marks the 6th anniversary of the integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta as a national strategy. The 2024 Yangtze River Delta Intellectual Property Integration Theme Event held recently conveyed the latest signal of the Yangtze River Delta region's in-depth implementation of the integration strategy.
During this period, the Intellectual Property Office of Shanghai, Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province and Anhui Province jointly signed the "Memorandum of Cooperation on the Cultivation and Transformation of High-value Patents in the Yangtze River Delta", "Memorandum of Cooperation on Technical Investigators in the Yangtze River Delta", and "Strategic Cooperation Agreement on the Integration of Intellectual Property Development and Protection in the Yangtze River Delta Ecological Green Integrated Development Demonstration Zone", aiming to establish a cooperation mechanism between the three provinces and one city, break down regional barriers, optimize resource allocation, and better serve the national strategy of integrated development of the Yangtze River Delta.
Clearly, the search for the integrated development and protection of intellectual property rights is important to actively promote the strategy of regional coordinated development at the national level. In particular, by focusing on the deployment of intellectual property rights to promote the high-quality development of integration, aiming at breaking down barriers and establishing cooperation mechanisms, it has a strong demonstration effect on the development of regional integration.
The integration of intellectual property in the Yangtze River Delta is a mechanism to promote the coordinated development of regional intellectual property. In recent years, the intellectual property departments of the three provinces and one municipality in the Yangtze River Delta have continued to strengthen cooperation and signed a series of framework agreements and memorandums of understanding to promote joint consultation, common layout, joint protection and co-governance, service sharing and joint construction of the human environment.
In today's information age, the Yangtze River Delta region has continuously strengthened regional cooperation in intellectual property protection, focused on eliminating "information islands", continuously developed and improved working mechanisms, and promoted the continuous development of regional intellectual property undertakings by strengthening cooperation, optimizing resource allocation, and improving service levels. This has also brought a series of positive impacts on the Yangtze River Delta region's pursuit of high-quality development.
First, the implementation of IP integration can help enhance regional innovation capacity. Intellectual property is an important carrier of innovation, and the Yangtze River Delta region is one of the regions with the highest intellectual property innovation and creation and comprehensive strength in the mainland. This will help stimulate the innovation vitality of the region, promote the transformation of scientific and technological achievements, and enhance the innovation capacity of the entire region.
Second, the implementation of IP integration can help optimize the regional business environment. The protection of intellectual property rights is an important part of the business environment, and the integration of intellectual property rights in the Yangtze River Delta can strengthen inter-regional cooperation in intellectual property protection, eliminate "information islands", crack down on intellectual property violations, and maintain market order. This will help improve the level of legalization, marketization and internationalization of the regional business environment, and attract more investment and innovation resources.
Thirdly, the implementation of IP integration would contribute to the promotion of coordinated regional development. Different provinces and cities in the Yangtze River Delta region have certain differences in development levels. Through the integrated development of intellectual property, we can promote the sharing of intellectual property resources and complementary advantages in the region, and then promote the coordinated development of industries between regions. This will help narrow the regional development gap and achieve more balanced development.
Finally, the integration of intellectual property rights can improve the level of intellectual property creation, protection, application and management in the region, and inject new impetus into economic development. At the same time, it can also promote the optimization and upgrading of the economic structure, enhance the added value and competitiveness of the industry, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of the economy.
It can be seen that the impact of intellectual property integration in the Yangtze River Delta on the high-quality development of the region is positive and far-reaching. By strengthening the protection and application of intellectual property rights, promoting the optimal allocation of innovation resources and coordinated regional development, the Yangtze River Delta region is expected to achieve higher-quality development. This also provides a vivid practical reference for the mainland regions seeking regional integration and development.
