Shandong Province recently issued a policy document titled "Several Measures on Advancing Patent Industrialization to Empower the Construction of a Modern Industrial System" to promote the integrated reform of patent transformation and enhance patent industrialization quality and efficiency across the province.
The document focuses on several key strategic initiatives. By strengthening the cultivation of high-value patents and supporting expedited patent authorization in key industries, it aims to enhance the effectiveness of patent supply in key industrial areas and accelerate the development of high-value patents that are urgently needed by industries, have a strong driving potential, and have broad application prospects.
Other initiatives include providing financial support up to RMB 3 million for enterprises that have made significant progress in building key industry patent pools and promoting patent industrialization. By the end of 2026, the province will have supported the establishment of approximately 20 industrial intellectual property operation centers in key industrial parks, as well as the establishment of around 30 key industry patent pools in relevant industry chain leaders.
