According to the circular, in 2020, the Ministry of Finance and China National Intellectual Property Administration will continue to select a number of key cities (including municipalities directly under the Central Government) to support the construction of intellectual property operation service system.
The "Notice" clarifies that the central government supports 65.438+0.5 billion yuan for each city, of which 65.438+0 billion yuan will be allocated in 2020, and the rest will be allocated by stages according to the results of the mid-term performance evaluation.

For a long time, how to give full play to the value of intellectual property rights, do a good job in the operation of intellectual property rights, and solve the problem of "difficult and expensive financing" of enterprises through various means has always been the focus of policy attention.
The "National Technology Transfer System Construction Plan" issued in September, 2065438+2007 pointed out: "Carry out pilot financing of intellectual property securitization and encourage commercial banks to carry out intellectual property pledge loan business."
The "intellectual property securitization" mentioned here refers to the financial operation that meets the financing needs of small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises in batches based on supply chain finance, financial leasing, trust and other financial forms, which is completely different from intellectual property pledge financing.
Intellectual property pledge financing refers to a financing method in which an enterprise takes its legally owned patent rights, trademark rights and property rights in copyright as collateral and obtains loans from banks after evaluation.
