From 65438 to 0998, Wanxiang set up a patent office to centrally manage the patents of the whole group and gradually move towards standardization, proceduralization, systematization and specialization.
In order to give full play to the role of the patent system in the development of enterprises, promote technological innovation and the formation of independent intellectual property rights, and promote enterprises to strengthen the management, protection and application of intellectual property rights, a patent management system was established in 2000 to effectively combine patents with the market.
Under the strategic premise of "connecting with international advanced technology", Wanxiang has gradually explored a new way of technology internationalization with patent competition strategy as the core.
R&D products mainly include: automobile anti-lock braking system, hydraulic torque converter, suspension system, rubber nano-material modification, third-generation hub unit, Ford transmission shaft and so on.
These products have entered the industrialization and the supporting production line of the main engine factory.
In 2000, Wanxiang acquired the Scheler Company, which owns the most patents in the world in the United States, and became the company with the most patents on this product in the world.
After Wanxiang established the enterprise standard of universal joint products, that is, the industry standard, in the 1980s, due to specialization, refinement and quality, in 2000, the Technology Center drafted and revised the China people's standard JB/T 1255-200 1 Technical Conditions for Heat Treatment of Rolling Bearing Parts of High Carbon Chromium Bearing Steel and JB/T8865438.
With the continuous improvement of independent innovation capability, Wanxiang has 252 patents.
200 1 was jointly awarded by Zhejiang Intellectual Property Office and Zhejiang Economic and Trade Commission as a patent demonstration enterprise in Zhejiang Province.
Wanxiang Qian Chao ranked 9th in the first ranking of China independent intellectual property enterprises 100.
