This meeting marks the official start of the standardization of intellectual property management of enterprises in China. At present, the enterprise intellectual property management standards compiled by China National Intellectual Property Administration Patent Management Office have been submitted to the National Standards Office for approval. Prior to this meeting, Jiangsu Province had been entrusted by China National Intellectual Property Administration to carry out the implementation of enterprise intellectual property management standards in this province for more than two years, and achieved good results. The intellectual property awareness, innovation awareness and innovation ability of enterprises in Jiangsu Province have been greatly improved.
The purpose of intellectual property standardization
In order to establish a standardized enterprise intellectual property work system, conscientiously implement the Outline of the National Intellectual Property Strategy, strengthen the guidance of enterprise intellectual property work, guide and help enterprises to further strengthen the creation, application, management and protection of intellectual property rights, enhance the ability of independent innovation, realize the scientific management and strategic application of intellectual property rights, and improve the competitiveness of international and domestic markets.
The role of intellectual property rights in realizing standards
1. Basic conditions for standardizing enterprise intellectual property management

Benefits of implementing intellectual property standards
1, Enterprise Intellectual Property Management Standard is the first national standard for enterprise intellectual property management in China. Implementing standards will be the basic condition for enterprises' intellectual property work, and also the premise for enterprises to declare scientific and technological projects.
2. The implementation of standards will help to enhance the awareness of intellectual property rights of enterprise leaders and employees, and mobilize the enthusiasm of employees for invention and creation.
3. Promote enterprises to produce high value-added new products and technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Transferring others through their own production and sales or through technology trade license will bring rich economic benefits to enterprises.
4. Enhance the value of intangible assets of enterprises, and obtain greater profits in asset operations such as financing listing, investment merger and acquisition, and enterprise sale.
5. Consolidate the market position of enterprises. Through the implementation of "Enterprise Intellectual Property Management Standards", the position of products with independent intellectual property rights of enterprises in the sales market has been significantly enhanced.
6, after the acceptance of the standard, you can apply to the competent department of science and technology for strategic promotion projects, patent implementation plans and other projects.
Service flow/procedure
1. Assist the enterprise to set up a project team to implement the standard and make a standard implementation plan.
2. Learning and training
3. Assist enterprises to write management documents and conduct trial operation.

5. Assist enterprises to apply for acceptance.
How do enterprises carry out the implementation of intellectual property standards?
First of all, let's clarify the general requirements of enterprise intellectual property standards, which can be summarized as sixteen words: concept first, leadership attention, full participation, and perfect system.
Secondly, let's find out which departments and personnel of the enterprise are involved in the implementation of intellectual property standards. To sum up, the enterprise personnel and departments involved in the implementation of intellectual property standards include: the company's top management personnel (such as chairman, president, general manager, CEO, etc.). ), management representatives (such as vice president, director in charge, etc. ), intellectual property department, research and development department, purchasing department, production department, marketing department, after-sales department, legal department, etc.
Third, we need to be familiar with the specific contents involved in the implementation of enterprise intellectual property standards, which are summarized as follows:
1, standardize the basic conditions of enterprise intellectual property management, and achieve "leadership implementation, organization implementation, system implementation, personnel implementation and funds implementation".
2. Standardize the management of intellectual property resources, and standardize intellectual property matters in the management of human resources, finance, information and other resources of enterprises.
3, standardize the management of intellectual property rights in all aspects of enterprise production and operation, to avoid the loss of independent intellectual property rights or infringement of other people's intellectual property rights.
4. Clearly stipulate the normative requirements of enterprises in four aspects: creation and acquisition of intellectual property rights, right management, right application and right protection.
5. Standardize the document management and contract management in the production and operation activities of enterprises.
6. Clearly stipulate that enterprises should establish a dynamic management mechanism for intellectual property rights.
Finally, let's sort out the implementation process of enterprise intellectual property standards and the certification process of enterprise intellectual property management system that the most critical enterprises need to master. Details are as follows:
First, the standard implementation process
The process of standard implementation can be roughly divided into eight stages: standard implementation start-up, investigation and diagnosis, system construction, manual preparation, publication and publicity, implementation and operation, internal audit and management review.
(1) standard implementation start-up: set up an enterprise standard implementation working group, formulate an enterprise standard implementation work plan, hold an enterprise standard implementation start-up meeting, and provide relevant training to the main participating departments and personnel.
(2) Investigation and diagnosis: Investigate the basic situation, organizational structure and related systems of enterprises, and diagnose the current situation of enterprise intellectual property management.
(3) System construction: formulate enterprise intellectual property policies and objectives, plan enterprise intellectual property functional structure, and build enterprise intellectual property management system.
(4) Manual preparation: Prepare the enterprise intellectual property management manual, and prepare the enterprise intellectual property management system, control procedures and record forms.
(5) Dissemination: promulgate enterprise intellectual property management manuals, systems, processes and forms, carry out enterprise intellectual property publicity and training, and guide all departments and personnel to correctly understand and implement them.
(6) Implementation and operation: run the enterprise intellectual property management system, fill in the system operation records, and regularly monitor the system operation.
(7) Internal audit: the enterprise audits its own intellectual property management system and takes corrective and improvement measures for the unqualified items in the audit.
(8) Management review: the top management of the enterprise reviews the status quo, suitability, adequacy and effectiveness of the enterprise intellectual property management system and the implementation of policies and objectives.
Second, the certification process
The authentication process can be roughly divided into three stages: simulation authentication, authentication application and authentication.
(1) Simulation certification: external experts are hired to conduct simulation audit certification of the enterprise's intellectual property management system according to the standard process of third-party audit certification, and the existing problems of the enterprise are rectified.
(2) Certification application: according to the requirements of third-party certification, prepare the materials needed for certification and submit the certification application to the third-party certification body.
(3) Certification: The third party is responsible for the document audit and on-site audit of the enterprise intellectual property management system by the certification institution until the certification institution makes a decision to pass the certification.
