Patent examination is an important link and supporting force in the capacity building of a strong intellectual property country. High-quality and efficient examinations will help to promote the construction of a strong intellectual property country, promote scientific and technological innovation, and achieve sustainable economic and social development. Under the background of building a strong intellectual property country, patent examination will inevitably usher in new development opportunities, but it will also face greater challenges. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job of patent examination in combination with the new situation in order to improve the service ability to the public.
The patent examination business ability is relatively strong. The ability is manifested in the large scale, excellent structure and relatively high quality of patents, so patent examination is directly related to the transformation of various patents into economic value in China. Therefore, patent examination involves relatively strong business ability, which requires not only greater innovation ability, but also stronger operation ability, as well as relatively strong protection and management ability, so as to establish a more perfect examination policy system, thus improving the examination management system and promoting the development of patent examination.
The international influence of patent examination is relatively large. With the continuous development and changes of the international patent system, international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Only by seizing the right to speak in the patent system can we ensure that our intellectual property rights are at the top. Therefore, professional examinations have a strong international influence. Only by recognizing the importance of intellectual property work and combining the relevant systems of patent examination can we give full play to our advantages, improve the scientificity of patent examination and ensure its positive influence.
