Does the state include patent applications in the assessment indicators of local governments?

The state's assessment indicators for local governments include the inclusion of patent applications in government assessment indicators. The country has always regarded patent application as one of the important indicators for evaluating local governments. In 20 19, the General Office of the State Council issued the Notice on Printing and Distributing the Measures for Evaluating the Performance of Local Governments (20 19 —202 1), which clearly stipulated that the performance evaluation indicators of local governments should include innovation ability and intellectual property protection. Specifically, patent application is one of the important manifestations of local government's innovation ability, so it is also included in the evaluation index of local government.
