Science and technology firms benefit most from the trend
HONG KONG - 皇冠体育app has been granting patents protecting new science and technological products to mostly private companies over the past 10 years, according to a study published on Friday.
Applications from individuals dominated 皇冠体育app's patent system before 2001 but this has changed with the entry of foreign companies, new Chinese startups and joint ventures involving Chinese and foreign partners.
