China issues action plan to fully implement national IPR strategy

China has issued an action plan on further implementation of the country's intellectual property rights (IPR) strategy.

The plan, released by the State Council General Office, highlighted the goals and measures for IPR generation, use, protection and management from 2014 to 2020.

China issued an outline of the national IPR strategy in 2008, planning to increase self-directed IPR, improve protection and the country's IPR awareness over five years. It also set goals for 2020.

The first five-year goals set by the outline have essentially been realized, the latest plan said.

Further enforcement of the strategy is an important support and guarantee for deepened overall reform and a significant move to help promote economic adjustment.

It detailed actions taken for the full implementation of the IPR strategy, including promotion of IPR creation and use, strengthening protection, intensifying management and extending international cooperation.

Three fundamental projects will be carried out in IPR information services, statistics and monitoring, and talent training, according to the plan.

IPR information will be open to the public for free or at low cost.

To further education, the national accounts system will begin including IPR performance score and more IPR-related content will be brought into school curriculums and other forms of law education, it said.

中国成“世界投资人” - 2015-1-6


  新年伊始,中国对外投资又传重磅消息:随着意大利投资者的退出,中国的复星集团收购法国知名旅游休闲企业——地中海俱乐部已成定局。纵观全球,复星收购并非孤例,中国资本走出去已风生水起,再一次诠释了中国从“世界工厂”到“世界投资人”的华丽转身。 

    
  当下中国,不仅产品远销世界各国,资本输出也进入“全球化轨道”。从收购资源到收购技术,从央企到民企,中国企业“走出去”的步伐进一步加快,中国已成为世界第三大对外投资国。日前举行的全国商务工作会议传出消息,中国的对外直接投资正逐步逼近甚至超过外商投资规模,将成为资本净输出国。   
  高水平“引进来”与大规模“走出去”并举,中国成为世界瞩目的双向投资大国。这由“进”到“出”的转变,反映的是中国经济实力质的改变,这般华丽转身真让人感慨万千。

  
  回想30多年前,吸引海外资本以弥补建设资金不足正是改革开放的重要目的之一。而现在,充裕的资本已然成为中国的强项,中国企业跨国投资日趋频繁,投资规模也越来越大。比如,安邦保险收购美国顶级的华尔道夫酒店,联想从谷歌公司收购摩托罗拉移动业务,双汇国际购得美国肉制品生产商史密斯菲尔德……不经意间,中国资本已经大规模走出国门。中国从“没钱”到“不差钱”的历史性转变,表明改革开放之路是走对了。   
  华丽转身还体现在资本输出的多元化。从一开始以国有企业为主在海外收购资源类资产到当下国企、民企齐头并进,目前中国企业海外收购多元化趋势已初步显现,这包括投资活动常态化、投资对象非资源化、资金来源多元化、收购手段多样化等。这有利于打造全球价值链、产业链、供应链,提高中国企业在相关行业的话语权和主导地位。地中海俱乐部和华尔道夫等收购案却表明,中国企业越来越喜欢投资国外知名品牌,注重引进技术和管理经验。   


  华丽转身亦体现了中国对世界的巨大贡献。中国资本走出去有利于增加当地就业,活跃当地经济,实现共赢。当前,全球经济正处于下滑通道,中国对外投资有望成为全球增长重要驱动力。统计显示,2014年1至8月中国对欧盟投资猛增257.1%。美国荣鼎咨询公司的报告预计,照过去十年的趋势,2020年前欧洲将从中国累计获得超过2500亿美元的新增对外投资。   


  拿此次地中海俱乐部收购案来说,由于欧洲市场萎靡不振,地中海俱乐部目前运营困难,中国资本入主可使该集团的优质品牌与迅速扩大的中国市场紧密结合,实现“咸鱼翻身”。而这,不仅保住了地中海俱乐部员工的饭碗,还使其市值跃升至9.39亿欧元,乐坏了原先悲观的投资者。尽管少数极右翼势力放出杂音,但法国舆论总体上对此报以积极回应。法国前总理拉法兰说,这一投资“不仅对企业有好处,对法国旅游业也有益处”。法国《世界报》则认为,在该收购案中,地中海俱乐部的投资者、小股东和管理者都是赢家。  

  一句话,世界应该为中国这位朝气蓬勃的“世界投资人”点赞。
