Flat panel display industry stepping up patent layout

Recently, the opening ceremony of the "LCD industry patent analysis report presentation meeting and flat panel display industry enterprise patent strategy and patent information analysis training" was held in Beijing jointly by the Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office and the China Optics and Optoelectronics Industry Association Liquid Crystal Branch. The "Patent"-themed industry event attracted more than 30 companies and colleges and universities, including BOE, China Star Optoelectronics, Tianma, Longteng Optoelectronics, and China Electric Panda Co., Ltd., to participate enthusiastically and attracted wide attention in the industry. This also shows that companies have fully realized the importance of patents and began to take precautions.

In the past 10 years, the flat panel display industry in China has made great progress both in terms of industry scale and independent research and development capabilities. Liang Xinqing, secretary-general of the China Optics and Optoelectronics Industry Association Liquid Crystal Subcommittee, said at the meeting: “Technology blockade is the first major obstacle to the development of the flat panel display industry in China. Over the years, Chinese panel companies have resisted the pressure and persisted, and have built high one after another. Generations of panel production lines have gradually expanded their market share. In the next round of competition, how to apply international rules, including protection of intellectual property rights, will be a new issue facing us."

According to Liang Xinqing, the number of domestic patent applications this year may total 10,000. In the competition, enterprises can only improve their awareness of intellectual property protection, familiarize themselves with international rules, understand their competitors' patent layout and technology routes, and establish their own patent accumulation to avoid risks and gain the right to speak.

In recent years, China’s independent innovation capability has been continuously improved, and the number of domestic patent applications has rapidly increased. However, China's entry into the flat-panel display industry is late, and there is still a large gap between the patent and the world's advanced level. Promote the awareness of patent information utilization in the flat panel display industry in China, pay attention to the accumulation of core capabilities for independent research and development, and establish a perfect patent attack and defense system. This is jointly organized by the Patent Office of the State Intellectual Property Office and the Liquid Crystal Branch of the China Optoelectronic Industry Association. the goal of.

It is reported that this event combines the development status and future development trend of the LCD industry (flat panel display industry), and the experts responsible for the patent examination and review of photoelectric display technology by the State Intellectual Property Office of the State Intellectual Property Office will carry out a comprehensive system analysis of the patents related to the new display technology. From the perspective of patent strategy and patent information analysis, it explores and solves the bottleneck problem of patents that restricts the development of enterprises and helps enterprises to enhance their overall competitiveness, thereby promoting the sustained and healthy development of the entire LCD industry and even the entire flat panel display industry in China.

In addition, a book-giving ceremony for "Industrial Patent Analysis Report - LCD Display" was also held during the event. The "Report" comprehensively analyzes the development trend of global LCD technology patents, patent distribution in China, and key patents of major applicants. It further analyzes the frontier and hotspot technologies in the field of liquid crystal display technology, and clarifies the technological development context and technology research and development. direction.
