How enterprises carry out intellectual property standards implementation
First of all, let us clarify the overall requirements for the implementation of corporate intellectual property standards, which can be summarized in sixteen words: concept first, leadership attention, full participation, and system improvement.

Finally, let’s sort out the most critical processes for enterprise intellectual property standards implementation and enterprise intellectual property management system certification processes that enterprises need to grasp. The details are as follows:
1. Standard implementation process
The standard implementation process can be roughly divided into eight stages: standard implementation initiation, investigation and diagnosis, system construction, manual writing, document publicity, implementation and operation, internal audit, and management review.
(1) Standard implementation kick-off: Establish an enterprise standard implementation working group, formulate an enterprise standard implementation work plan, hold an enterprise standard implementation kick-off meeting, and conduct standard implementation-related training for the main participating departments and personnel.
(2) Investigation and diagnosis: Investigate the company’s basic information, organizational structure, and related systems, and diagnose the current status of the company’s intellectual property management.

The certification process can be roughly divided into three stages: simulation certification, certification application, and certification.
(1) Simulation certification: Hire external experts to conduct a simulation audit and certification of the enterprise's intellectual property management system in accordance with the standard process of third-party audit and certification, and rectify the problems existing in the enterprise.
(2) Certification application: In accordance with the requirements of third-party audit and certification, prepare the materials required for audit and certification, and submit the certification application to the third-party certification agency.
