in the "Beijing Intellectual Property Industry trip" activity organized by the State Intellectual Property Office recently, Baidu, which ranks first in China's AI patent applications, is one of them in the "Ai China patent technology analysis report" just released by the national industrial information security development research center. Baidu has won the first place for two consecutive years, and China's AI "Touyan" is worthy of its name

in recent years, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the technology of artificial intelligence. As mentioned above, in order to ensure the dimensional progress and industrial development of the outer diameter of products and cables, artificial intelligence has been mentioned in the government work reports for three consecutive years in 2017, 2018 and 2019. At the same time, China has also issued a number of policies aimed at promoting the development of a new generation of artificial intelligence industry and promoting the deep integration of artificial intelligence and the real economy, so as to ensure the realization of the goal of technology and application reaching the world leading level on the whole. In addition, through a series of policies and financial support, all provinces (cities and districts) have continuously strengthened the local AI technology research and development and application. This machine is driven by synchronous Electromechanical, creating a broad development space for the AI industry. For example, Beijing needs to check these two key points. Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places have issued a number of policies to support artificial intelligence research and development

according to the above report, the number of patent applications in the field of artificial intelligence in China is increasing year by year. In the ranking of AI patent applications in China, baidu ranks first with 5712, 2.4 times that of last year, and ranks first in many AI core fields, such as deep learning technology, speech recognition, natural language processing, intelligent driving, etc

we learned from Baidu that as early as 2010, baidu began to lay out artificial intelligence. In 2013, it established the world's first deep learning institute. In 2016, baidu brain was officially released. At present, it has iterated to the stage of 5.0

in addition to timely patent application protection for its own technological achievements, Baidu will also layout relevant patents before the release of each important AI product. For patents in the field of AI, it will adopt the methods of centralized layout of advantageous technologies and differentiated layout of products, pay more attention to the coverage and protection of patents on technologies and products, and apply for Foreign Patents according to business development and protection strategies The patent department will regularly conduct multi-level and multi-dimensional evaluation of the applied patents, adhere to the principle of quality first, and start from the source of invention. Patents that have been authorized will also be evaluated regularly to ensure that the technology is still within the life cycle

"we are glad to see that the state pays more and more attention to patent quality, and has successively introduced a number of measures to implement the patent quality improvement project and speed up the construction of a powerful intellectual property country." The relevant person in charge of Baidu said that at present, the artificial intelligence industry is still in a period of rapid development, with rapid technological iteration and accelerating industrialization. How to transform innovative technological achievements into high-quality patents is an important challenge for Baidu

the person in charge said that in practice, while Baidu adheres to independent innovation and actively carries out patent layout, it also takes management measures to improve patent quality to enhance its core competitiveness. On the other hand, how to activate the value of intellectual property rights and use intellectual property rights to promote the development of enterprises and even the industry is another challenge we face. "Although Baidu has made some patent licensing cooperation and patent capitalization attempts, it has also achieved certain success. It also has the following functions: effective, but it still faces challenges such as unclear patent value evaluation standards, imperfect relevant operation and protection policies"
