Based on the 2014 World Intellectual Property Indicators published by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) in December 2014, patent applications filed worldwide in 2013 amounted to around 2.57 million, up 9% from 2012. Driving that strong growth were filings in China and the U.S. Francis Gurry, Director General of WIPO, believed that “the rapid growth of patent applications in China has direct relation with transformation of China's economic structure. Strategically, China has shifted from "made in China" to "created in China," transmitted from manufacturing into knowledge-intensive industry, during which IP plays a significant role.
Meanwhile, as the process of opening-up the Chinese market continues to deepen, Chinese enterprises are also accelerating their pace of internationalization, during which some of the knowledge-intensive enterprises may encounter various intellectual property problems and be involved in IP wars. Against such a backdrop, a growing number of international IP firms are turning their eyes to China. By virtue of their expertise and experiences in the industry, these firms constantly seek to expand their business space and scopes in the Chinese market.
In order to get a better understanding of the business status of the aforesaid firms, China IP and China Daily co-launched "Survey on Global IP Firms of China-related Business" in 2012 for the first time. Taking IP firms as the subject, the survey tried to learn about their China-related business competitiveness. The survey was mainly in the form of questionnaire. Besides, a special research team was set up to get in touch with IP firms around the world, follow the questionnaire and collect relevant data for further research. After analyzing the information provided in the questionnaire, a recommendation list of Global IP Firms of China-related Business had been compiled. The list has become a reliable bridge to connect Chinese enterprises with global IP firms, through which many Chinese enterprises seek cooperation with IP firms in their target market, and have made a profound IP foundation before exploring the market.
In 2014, we continued our research, by reevaluation of the performance of the global IP firms in 2014, we update the recommendation list, in order to provide the latest and the most comprehensive information to readers.
As a comprehensive international media platform and with the aim to better connect enterprises with IP firms around the world, China IP invited global IP firms to recommend Chinese IP firms based on their business situation for the first time in 2013. The research also would like to provide a practical reference for global IP firms as a guide when they need to choose Chinese IP firms if they intend to explore the Chinese market.
The report and the recommendation list had been released at the 5th China IP Annual Forum in January 2015. It has also been published on other media platforms including China IP’s official website, China Daily IPR Channel, Weibo, WeChat, etc.
