In recent years, MOTIC has invested a lot of money in North America, Germany and China to set up a global multidisciplinary technology integration center with zero time difference, which integrates optics, machinery, industrial design, graphic design, network communication, electronics, computer technology and medical diagnosis technology, and combines modern edge technology to realize "seamless integration", transforming the traditional microscope from the main tool of microscopic observation in the past to the branch platform of today's "digital microscopic image processing system" The establishment and introduction of digital interactive classrooms and laboratories set off a revolution in morphology teaching methods. The successful development of automatic microscope system provides a brand-new concept and practical platform for the research and development of microscope science, and really promotes the wide application of telemedicine, remote scientific research and remote teaching. The world's first fully automatic DNA quantitative cell diagnosis system is a model that integrates medical diagnosis and DNA cytology, and integrates production, learning and research seamlessly.
In order to promote technological innovation of enterprises and form independent intellectual property rights, starting from 1998, Xiamen Science and Technology Bureau, Municipal Economic Development Bureau and Municipal Intellectual Property Office jointly identified 52 patent pilot enterprises in five batches. Through the demonstration role of patent pilot enterprises, Xiamen enterprises have achieved remarkable results in patent application, patent implementation and protection, and their core competitiveness has been improved. Mike Audi Industrial Company located in Xiamen Torch Hi-tech Development Zone has tasted the sweetness.
Mccurdy was founded in 1995, and initially focused on the production of biological microscopes for teaching. Although its export volume ranks first in the country, the development of this company was once in a period of hesitation because the market of such traditional products tends to be saturated. From 65438 to 0999, the company integrated information technology achievements into the microscope, and then established a multidisciplinary technology integration center, which integrated modern optics and information technology, digital imaging and network technology, biology and medical diagnosis technology, and built a remote pathological diagnosis center in China. This model is praised as "integrated innovation" by the industry.
In the process of integrated innovation, Mike Audi attaches great importance to the "autonomy" of design and production, firmly grasps the core technology, and provides guarantee for independent innovation through the management and protection of intellectual property rights. Since 200 1, the company has set up a special legal department to realize the integration of patent application, trademark registration, software copyright registration and patent, trademark and software copyright protection, and has been listed as a patent pilot or intellectual property demonstration unit in Fujian Province and Xiamen City. Up to now, the company has applied for 254 intellectual property rights protection, including 28 invention patents, 53 utility models, 4 PCT international patents and 70 software copyright registrations.
Integrated innovation and patent protection have brought about qualitative changes in the development of enterprises. Not only has the sales revenue doubled, but it has also rapidly grown into one of the top five microscope manufacturers in the world who have mastered the cutting-edge technology of microscopes. In the past five years, more than 30 series and more than 300 models of new products have been developed, which are widely used in scientific research and teaching, medical diagnosis, electronic instruments, bioengineering, mining, military industry and other fields.
In 2008, Xiamen revised and formulated the Measures for the Administration of Special Funds for Patent Application Funding in Xiamen, which increased the funding for patent applications, so that the number of patent applications increased rapidly in the past two years, and now it is entering the harvest period, which not only increased the number of domestic patents granted, but also greatly increased the proportion in the province. . According to statistics, in the first half of this year, Xiamen authorized 2,288 domestic patents, up 74.26% year-on-year, accounting for 28.97% of domestic patents authorized by our province, of which 179 were authorized invention patents, up 20.95% year-on-year, accounting for 37.92% of domestic invention patents authorized by our province.
