[Ranking] 2015 CAS Patent Operation Ranking

2015 was dubbed the "Year One" for patent operations in China. In that year, the Chinese government introduced a series of policies to support the development of the intellectual property industry and also enacted the "Law on the Transformation of Scientific and Technological Achievements," providing a powerful catalyst for the large-scale operation of China’s vast pool of patented technologies. Looking at the patent operation performance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2015, its ranking was as follows: Let’s take a closer look at the rankings for CAS patent operations in both the first half and second half of 2015 to see what stood out. The CAS patent operation rankings underwent a major reshuffle: while some institutes that ranked high in the first half saw their number of operated patents decline significantly in the second half—some even reaching zero—many institutes that had been outside the top ten in the first half made it into the rankings.

For 2015 Let’s take a look at the rankings of CAS patent operations for the first and second halves of the year and see what’s worth noting.

A major reshuffle in the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ patent operation rankings.

In the second half of the year, the number of research institutes with a high volume of operational patents decreased compared to the first half—some even saw their numbers drop to zero. Meanwhile, many institutes that had been outside the top ten in the first half made it into the top ten, indicating that the overall patent-operation situation at the Chinese Academy of Sciences is dynamically changing. However, the Institute of Microelectronics has consistently demonstrated outstanding performance in patent transfers, jumping from second place in the first half to the top spot in the second half. Another group of rising stars has also emerged: the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, thanks to... 20 The patent transfer achieved an impressive rise from eighth place in the first half of the year to second place in the second half.

The team’s patent portfolio transfer model stands out.

Tracking the destination of patent transfers from the Institute of Microelectronics reveals that they can be broadly divided into two categories: One part was transferred to Beijing Yandong Microelectronics Co., Ltd., a high-tech enterprise jointly funded by China Great Wall Asset Management Corporation and another entity. This company specializes in the design, manufacturing, packaging, testing, and sales of semiconductor microelectronic devices. The patents involved in these transfers primarily pertain to display technologies and other related innovations—patents invented by Professor Du Huan’s research group at the Institute of Microelectronics. From publicly available information, it is evident that the Institute of Microelectronics provides robust technical support to companies under the Electric Control Group. The other portion of the patents was transferred to Beijing Zhongke Xinweit Technology Development Co., Ltd. Last year, this company had already acquired patents from Beijing Zhongke Wei Investment Management Co., Ltd., which was itself established by the Institute of Microelectronics and specializes in investment management, copyright trading, trademark agency services, and technology development. It is anticipated that Beijing Zhongke Xinweit Technology Development Co., Ltd. will serve as an operational entity for the industrialization of microelectronic technologies. These patents were mainly developed by Researcher Wang Lixin’s team. Thus, it appears that the two leading figures in the Institute of Microelectronics—one in the field of power devices—have been instrumental in driving these developments. - Wang Lixin, in the field of driving circuits - Du Huan has become... 2015 The patent transfer star inventor of the year.

Local governments are encouraging the acceleration of technology transfer.

Among the patents transferred from the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, one portion was transferred to the Shanghai Wireless Communications Research Center—a public institution jointly initiated by the Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission, Southeast University, and Changning District, and directly affiliated with the Shanghai Municipal Science and Technology Commission. This center primarily engages in research and development, integrated testing, and standardization related to key technologies for broadband wireless mobile communications as well as next-generation wireless mobile communication systems. Such co-built institutional patents are typically developed through team collaboration, and transfers among collaborating enterprises are also quite common. The other portion was transferred to Shanghai Xinwei Technology Development Co., Ltd. It is speculated that this company is an incubator enterprise established by the Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology, primarily engaged in technological development, technology transfer, technical consulting, technical services, venture capital, investment consulting, and asset management in the fields of electronic technology, IoT technology, biotechnology, and computer technology.

It’s not hard to see that domestic research institutions are actively exploring the market applications of innovative technologies and fostering entrepreneurship, with some research institutes taking the lead in innovation and entrepreneurship.
