To provide a strong judicial guarantee for the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements

Wang Xiaoming, president of the Third Civil Trial Division of the Guangdong High People's Court, said that in the past five years, the courts in the province concluded about 800,000 intellectual property cases of various types, including 63,000 patent cases such as invention, providing strong judicial support for the transformation of scientific and technological innovation achievements into new quality productivity. The province's courts have targeted to increase the protection of key areas and core technological innovation achievements, strictly implement punitive damages, and constantly upgrade the amount of damages awarded. Last year, the province's courts awarded a total of 24 cases of damages exceeding 10 million yuan, and applied punitive damages in 62 cases according to law, and the average amount of compensation awarded in technology infringement cases such as invention patents was about 1 million yuan, double that of five years ago, so that "true innovation" was "true protection", so that "high quality" was "strictly protected".

We will strengthen the protection of innovation subjects, especially "specialized and innovative" private enterprises, and determine cases that amount to infringement or are reasonable innovations and do not constitute infringement according to law. We will protect the legitimate rights and interests of scientific researchers in accordance with the law, properly handle cases brought against retired scientific researchers, and prudently handle cases involving major scientific research projects and well-known scientists in accordance with the law. Improve the technical fact finding mechanism of "technical investigator + expert consultation + technical consultant", and be selected as the first typical cases of building an intellectual property power. Strengthen the judicial and administrative protection of intellectual property rights, establish a joint trial mechanism for patent rights confirmation and infringement litigation with the State Intellectual Property Office, and a total of 15 provincial authorities jointly establish a credit supervision mechanism for serious intellectual property violations.

Innovation of "profit bundling, benefit sharing" results transformation mode
