During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, the state paid more attention to the necessity of patent application.

Facing the upcoming "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan", under the new pattern of competition and development at home and abroad, it is necessary to pay more attention to the role of invention patents in innovation and development, and continue to highlight the important position of invention patent indicators in the "Thirteenth Five-Year Plan".

The reasons are as follows: The Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period is a crucial period for China to build an innovative country and build a well-off society in an all-round way, and it is also an important period for China to implement the innovation-driven development strategy. To achieve a series of goals of improving quality and increasing efficiency during the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan period, we must pay more attention to innovation drive and invention patents, further encourage invention and creation, and occupy its due position in the world development pattern with ever-changing technology and fierce economic competition. It is necessary and significant to continue to include the index of "the number of invention patents per 10,000 population" in the outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan, as an important index reflecting the innovation ability and implementing the innovation drive, which has attracted great attention from the central, local and social sectors, condensed the powerful driving force of the whole society's innovation and development, and formed a huge synergy of innovation and development, so that it can play a greater role and make greater contributions in the transformation and upgrading of the national economy.
