Jinjiang, a county-level city in Fujian Province, has recently achieved remarkable milestones in its pursuit of becoming a leading intellectual property powerhouse, with two local enterprises securing national patent awards that highlight the region's vibrant innovation ecosystem.
The National Intellectual Property Administration recently announced the winners of the 26th China Patent Awards, with a total of 12 patented projects from Fujian Province earning recognition. Among these distinguished honorees, two companies from Jinjiang stood out by winning two national-level patent awards, demonstrating the city's robust technological innovation capabilities and the tangible results of its intellectual property development efforts.
Specifically, Fujian Xingyi Intelligent Equipment Co., Ltd. was awarded the China Patent Excellence Award for its "Multi-head Planetary Grinding Machine and Its Working Method," while 361 Degrees (China) Co., Ltd. and 361 Degrees (Fujian) Sporting Goods Co., Ltd. jointly secured the China Design Excellence Award for their "Shoe (3)" design. These two national accolades serve as direct evidence of the rising innovative capacity of Jinjiang's local enterprises and a vivid demonstration of the city's deep-rooted intellectual property strategy aimed at invigorating innovation across the entire society.
Over recent years, Jinjiang has concentrated its efforts on fostering high-quality patent creation, vigorously promoting the transformation and upgrading of traditional advantageous industries such as textiles, apparel, and footwear toward high-end and intelligent manufacturing. The city has been actively integrating innovation and creativity with industrial development, ensuring they progress in tandem. The award-winning patents this time align seamlessly with Jinjiang's "4331" modern industrial system layout, reflecting the city's development orientation toward digital transformation of traditional industries and clustered growth of emerging sectors. These achievements are a microcosm of Jinjiang's solid progress in building a strong intellectual property city with a methodical approach.
Looking ahead, Jinjiang will continue to refine its comprehensive cultivation system for high-value patents, enhance its integrated protection mechanism featuring rapid patent authorization and swift rights enforcement, and deepen industry-university-research collaboration along with the application of patented outcomes. The city is committed to efficiently converting intellectual property into real productive forces, thereby laying a solid innovation groundwork for the high-quality development of the real economy.
