Let intellectual property become a catalyst for the development of the hardware mold industry

Relevant data show that in 2012, China's total mold exports of 3.23 billion US dollars, an increase of 37.96%, mold has been exported to 188 countries and regions. In the global sales of mold, most of the production and export from China, China has become one of the world's main mold suppliers. China's hardware mold industry in the traditional industry, the overall development momentum is rapid, the rapid development is like a chemical reaction.


It is understood that the hardware mold industry is mainly dominated by private small and medium-sized enterprises, mainly distributed in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Fujian and other places, and these regions have a strong awareness of intellectual property protection, attach importance to technology introduction and technological innovation, the number of patent applications in the hardware mold industry in these regions continues to grow, the core competitiveness of enterprises gradually improve, and there are nearly 13,000 patents. This includes more than 5,200 invention patents and more than 7,200 utility model patents. It can be said that the "catalyst" to speed up this chemical reaction is intellectual property.

Behind the gorgeous figures, is the fact that hardware companies and even the entire industry seek development with innovation. In the face of the pressure of the external living environment and the needs of the development of the hardware mold industry, in recent years, the local government has introduced preferential policies to create a good atmosphere of innovation for the characteristics of the hardware industry.

The key of innovation activities lies in enterprises, and creating a good intellectual property atmosphere is conducive to effectively guaranteeing the development of innovation activities. Taking Chongqing Dazu County as an example, in order to stimulate industry innovation, the county has introduced a series of policies to encourage innovation, the hardware industry has set off a wave of patent applications, and obtained a hardware mold related technology patent represented by the "forging stainless steel knife grinding process", and many products have reached the international leading level. In the case of location advantages are not outstanding, intellectual property rights have well improved the quality of hardware products in the region, and effectively enhanced the competitiveness of products.

However, we also see that although the development situation of the hardware mold industry is optimistic, it is inevitable that such problems will be exposed in the development process. China's hardware industry enterprises are mainly small and medium-sized enterprises, many enterprises have weak strength, lack of sufficient understanding of the importance of intellectual property rights, and there are still problems such as weak mold research and development ability and insufficient innovation ability. Therefore, in today's rapid development of the knowledge economy, the development of the hardware industry must be assisted by intellectual property rights, and the intellectual property work is particularly important. While doing a good job in patent application, enterprises should also further improve the patent early warning mechanism, patent tracking mechanism, patent prevention mechanism and other aspects, and effectively play the key role of intellectual property as a "catalyst".
