BEIJING, Sept. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report from China Daily:
China currently holds over 5.39 million valid domestic invention patents and 50.82 million valid domestic registered trademarks, according to the nation's top intellectual property regulator.
The figures were announced by the China National Intellectual Property Administration at this year's China Intellectual Property Annual Conference, taking place in Beijing from Tuesday to Wednesday.
The administration said China has led the world in Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications for seven consecutive years. Additionally, the country ranks among the top globally for filings of industrial designs under the Hague System and international trademarks under the Madrid System.
With the theme of promoting high-quality IP development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-30), the annual conference will include one main forum, 13 sub-forums, and over 20 activities focused on topics such as artificial intelligence, patent services, and the newly revised Trademark Law.
Since its launch in 2010, the conference has become one of Asia's largest and most influential IP events. It serves as a platform to showcase China's achievements in the IP sector, foster forward-looking discussions, connect service providers with innovators, and enhance China's international role in IP governance.
