Yesterday, according to data released by the China National Intellectual Property Administration, the Market Supervision Administration of Lishui announced that as of July this year, the number of valid invention patents in Lishui reached 4,963, with 20.8 valid invention patents per 10,000 people — successfully surpassing the threshold of 20 patents. This represents a year-on-year increase of 15.28%, ranking second in the province. Compared with the 10.86 patents per 10,000 people at the beginning of the 14th Five-Year Plan period, the number has nearly doubled.

Activating endogenous momentum in intellectual property (IP) has become a crucial driver of high-quality economic and social development. In recent years, leveraging its status as a “National Pilot City for Intellectual Property Development”, Lishui has consistently prioritized innovation as the primary force guiding progress. The city has focused on building an innovation system centered on enterprises, directed by market demand, and deeply integrated with industry-academia-research collaboration. This has involved continuously nurturing and expanding innovation entities, constructing diverse innovation engines, and strengthening the foundation for innovation, thereby injecting robust momentum into regional industrial transformation and upgrading.

To accelerate innovation-driven enterprise growth, market regulatory authorities launched a campaign to “eliminate patent gaps among above-scale enterprises”. Through big data screening, on-site visits, and periodic follow-ups, an information database was established covering 214 such enterprises with zero invention patents. Additionally, efforts to expedite patent acquisition were advanced by guiding companies to utilize fast-track channels such as “patent pre-examination and priority review”, ensuring comprehensive statistical coverage and preparation across the city’s enterprises. As of July, 347 companies had completed fast pre-examination entity filings, with 262 fast pre-examination applications submitted from January to July.

As part of building a “core engine for innovation”, Lishui City has implemented a high-value intellectual property cultivation program. This involves creating databases and cultivation pools for high-value patents, adopting tiered and categorized cultivation strategies, and establishing a system that strongly supports the upgrading of traditional industries, the growth of strategic emerging sectors, and the development of future industries. Furthermore, a series of patent navigation projects have been initiated to clarify innovation directions through analytical insights, enhance innovation quality, and continuously accumulate high-value patents with core competitiveness, seizing opportunities in nurturing new quality productive forces.

According to statistics, in 2025, the city cultivated and declared 10 provincial high-value patent cultivation projects (platforms), initiated 10 municipal patent navigation projects, and released 7 patent navigation outcomes. In the first half of 2025, the number of high-value patents in Lishui reached 2,164, a year-on-year increase of 23.7%, ranking fourth in the province.

Meanwhile, addressing the shortage of high-level IP talent, Lishui pioneered a trial mechanism for “IP special commissioners”. The city introduced the Implementation Plan for the IP Special Commissioner Pilot Program in Lishui (2024–2026), appointing 30 initial IP special commissioners. Activities such as the “IP Commissioner Assistance Month and Enterprise IP Health Check” were organized, where commissioners provided on-site services including patent layout, “results transformation”, and “rights protection assistance”.

To date, IP special commissioners have conducted 596 enterprise visits, delivered policy outreach to 408 enterprises, guided companies in filing over 900 IP applications, facilitated RMB 390 million in IP pledges, and assisted 27 enterprises with IP “rights protection”. The pilot initiative has now been promoted and implemented across the province
