The technological innovation of Tencent Digital News (Su Yang) is directly proportional to the patent accumulation to some extent.
In the past five years, because it is an emerging domestic mobile phone brand, patents have always been considered as a constraint to Xiaomi's development, but this situation is expected to change.
According to the figures released by Lin Bin, the co-founder of Xiaomi, as of 20 151October 30th, the total number of Xiaomi applications exceeded 6,000. In just 20 15 years, the number of invention patents applied by Xiaomi has reached 3738, which is more than 100 times higher than the 35 patents applied earlier.
It is understood that of the 3,738 patents that Xiaomi applied for before 438+05,65,438+00 on October 30th, 2065, more than 40% were overseas invention patents of Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, which will also become one of the pavements for Xiaomi to enter overseas markets.
Regarding the current development status, Lin Bin also put forward the future patent development plan, and confidently stated that the total number of patent applications for Xiaomi 20 10000 was 10000, "it is not a problem to break through 10000 next year".
It is worth noting that the number of patent applications and the number of patents held by Xiaomi are not the same concept. Whether the final patent can pass the total number of patents held by Xiaomi is directly related to it. At the same time, Xiaomi did not disclose in detail the types of patents that have been applied for, such as invention patents and design patents.
In addition to Xiaomi's patent-related data, Huawei also announced the patent progress of 20 14 at the beginning of this year.
It is reported that by the end of 20 14, Huawei had obtained 38,825 patents, of which more than 90% were invention patents. According to the report issued by the World Intellectual Property Organization, a United Nations agency, Huawei applied for 3,442 patents in 20 14.
