After 12 years’ waiting, the 4th version of the Patent Law with an aim of further motivating innovations and improving the mechanism for cracking down patent infringements was finally passed on October 17, 2020. The amended Chinese patent law will take effect on June 1, 2021. Second Amendments introduced pharmaceutical patent-term extensions and established an early pharmaceutical patent-dispute resolution mechanism and patent linkage system that further protects the rights of patentees.

The European Chamber is delighted to invite Ms Mi LI, Principal at Rouse and the IP Consulting Director of Rouse China in Beijing to break down the changes and challenges, as well as outlooks ahead for our members in the pharmaceutical sector.

成功的价值创造过程需要能够立即识别问题，快速反应和持续实施解决措施。这一理念需要被深深地嵌入到日常工作中，并且可以通过在您的组织中建立一个额外的功能来实现。班组管理就是，在员工和主管之间持久监控的过程从而不断推动车间持续改进的一 系列行为。深度发展的班组长，他的硬技能和软能力是使他成为一个具有解决问题能力的优秀领导专家的前提。
Successful value creation processes require an immediate identification of problems, short reaction times and the continuous implementation of solutions. This philosophy is to be deeply embedded into day-to-day operations and can be achieved by establishing an additional function within your organisation. The so-called Hancho, who acts between employees and the supervisor, is responsible for permanently monitoring processes and thus for constantly driving the CIP on the Shop Floor. A profound development of the Hancho’s hard and soft skills is the prerequisite for him to become an expert in problem-solving and an excellent leader.

The global pandemic has further accelerated the digital transformation of businesses resulting in increased reliance on e-commerce platforms, boom in the AI-related industries and digitalisation of production and delivery processes. With digitalisation of businesses, consumption too has increasingly moved online. Intellectual property (IP) is crucial to digital economy as it drives innovation and provides SMEs with comparative advantage over competitors. While digital economy brings about new IP risks like online infringements, it also creates new solutions for IP protection such as the use of blockchain technologies or reliance on sophisticated notice and take-down systems on e-commerce platforms or even the use of internet courts speeding up IP enforcement procedures. To be successful in digital economy, SMEs should focus on protecting their IP by adopting a comprehensive IP strategy taking into account the needs of digital economy.
