lol they r just trying to register every fucking thing they can
Inventing new names for Amazon stores is not very important
China and patent is a contradiction in terms.
A lot of them are garbage patents. There’s even a patent filed for every imaginable shape to turn the head of a screw.
They have people that go through other countries IP and just copy and paste. I lived in China for three years as a director for a Fortune 500 company.
The nonsense that China grants IP on is unreal.
Breaking the patent system. Space companies have mostly stopped filing patents.
Most of them are plagiarized and stolen anyway, would not give it much attention
Given they don’t honor patents, who cares. I see zero issue with stealing anything from china from here to the end of time.
It’s the product of a metric-driven system. Universities and research institutes, private or national, all have specific requirements on the **number** of patents for their employees. For corporates, government subsidies and tax/loan benefits hold a similar standard.
In most countries you have to pay to get a patent examined, in China the government covers the cost so even if you have only a 1% chance of actually getting your patent approved it’s always worth the money when it’s not your money.
The seething and coping in the comments about China every time is hilarious
More patents than ever, yet I look around and I see relatively few technological innovations affecting anyone’s life. Everything is digital, and the physical world appears to be frozen in an early-2000s state of stagnation.
Anybody can apply for patent on anything. You would be surprised how many time machine and perpetual motion patent applications there are.
Time to start infringe their copyrights. Payback time
How does enforcement work when China themselves copy everything? I just read they’ve even copied a spaceX rocket. I bet that’s got a few IP rights.
Probably because they have a long history of stealing them from every other country.
China was also the country with most patents granted
Lol doesn’t mean anything, they produce papers en masse for propaganda reasons
Even patents are Chinese in terms of quality over there – lousily built, mass-produced to the point of oversaturation and not gonna last longer than 2 months.
Chinese patents aren’t really protected though, they literally use patents to copy ideas, half of these fucking patents are rip offs. Anything Chinese is fair game.
It is irresponsible and misleading to post that without substantial context. China also funds the largest illegal fishing fleets. And subsidizes electric cars more than anybody else. In their hands, everything always turns from virtue to vice.
No, China is not a place where anybody talented is valued. No, they don’t get credit for jack because they are IP thieves as state policy. As Jack Ma experienced well before Xi turned him fully into a lapdog, anybody with a good idea in China will get it taken away by a person with heavy CCP party connections and is lucky to survive the experience.
It never ceases to amaze me how when anything niche is posted about China on here you get 50 experts on that subject to tell you why it’s bad. Who would have thought so many redditors would be knowledgeable about Chinese patent law?
The irony! The one country that doesn’t respect copyright!
Would they accept my patent for what I call the “spinning locomotion disc”?
Genuine question. China doesn’t seem to care about Western patents and will copy just about everything. Does the West acknowledge and recognise Chinese patents?
