Domestic Patent Application in RFID Field

In the core technology field of Internet of Things such as RFID (radio frequency identification technology, commonly known as 'electronic label'), sensor technology and wireless access, Shenzhen has applied for 7,700 invention patents, accounting for about 1/6 of the national total. “The Internet of Things is one of the emerging industries that Shenzhen vigorously developed in recent years. The reporter recently learned from the IoT Standards and Intellectual Property Forum and the results conference held in Shenzhen that Shenzhen’s RFID technology has been at the forefront of the country and the RFID industry standards alliance. With the development and expansion, 49 well-known companies in the industry have been recruited.

Shenzhen IOT core technology patents account for 1/6 of the country's total

Shenzhen is an important demonstration base for the R&D, industrialization, and application of the Internet of Things. In the past three years, the city has organized a total of 167 R&D projects and industry support projects for the Internet of Things, invested more than 300 million yuan in special funds, directly stimulated social investment by more than 2 billion yuan, invested about 1.95 billion yuan in financial funds, and applied the technology extensively. Such as remote control of home appliances wireless remote control, can use with the smart socket and other smart home products, as well as Shenzhen Tong, RFID electronic ticket, RFID electronic vehicle license, intelligent transportation, customs supervision vehicle location tracking system, library management, Residents health card and other livelihood areas.

Policy support accelerates the formation of core intellectual property rights. In the core technology areas of RFID, such as RFID (radio frequency identification technology, commonly known as “electronic label”), sensor technology, and wireless access, a total of 7,700 invention patents have been filed, accounting for about six of the nation’s One in a minute. “Shenzhen enterprises have obvious advantages in the fields of RFID and wireless communication technology, especially in the area of ​​RFID. At present, the United States is the world’s first market, China is the second market, followed by South Korea and Japan, and Shenzhen’s patents in this field. The strength of the application is relatively strong in China, and Shenzhen enterprises occupy 5 seats in the top 10 domestic patent applications in the field of RFID, among which 470 are ZTE, accounting for 20% of the total in Shenzhen, followed by Huawei, National Technology, and Yuanwanggu. Guangqi Polytechnic, etc."

According to relevant person in charge of the Shenzhen Institute of Standards and Technology, there are more than 480 enterprises in Shenzhen's RFID field. The main products are electronic tags, read/write devices, and system integration. About 80% of the companies have self-developed products and 40% of the enterprises. Has a patent.

49 famous enterprises were included in the RFID Industry Standards Alliance, but experts also said that although the emerging Internet of Things is a trillion-dollar industry, it has attracted many people's attention, but it is currently difficult to promote. “The main reason is that the standard system is still not perfect, and the development of standards lags behind the development of the industry. Especially in the identification of the Internet of Things, the inconsistent labeling has become the major bottleneck in the current development of the Internet of Things.” said Zhang Xu, Deputy Director of the Internet of Things Research Center at China Article Numbering Center. .

To this end, the Shenzhen Institute of Standards and Technology released the results of the "Internet of Things Standards and Intellectual Property Public Service Platform." This platform is a set of standards for the Internet of Things, patents, testing and certification, intellectual property evaluation, consulting training and other services. Sexual public service platform. “In particular, only intellectual property services cover the entire process of intellectual property R&D and innovation, application review, monitoring and maintenance, licensing operations, and protection of rights, providing tracking of the entire application process and legal status, and remedying and resolving SMEs’ ​​intellectual property rights. And the lack of personnel and services in standardization, reduce corporate cost expenditures, improve the level of corporate intellectual property and standardization work, and help companies increase their core competitiveness.”

In addition, the Institute is also the first in the country to establish the RFID Industry Standards Alliance, and has recruited 49 well-known companies such as Yuanwanggu, Xianshi [1.92%] technology and national technology to join, and established an RFID expert database. In the preparation of the six national standards initiated by the official establishment of the project, the alliance participated in four projects; in the proposed 79 national standard projects, the alliance participated in seven projects. In addition, the alliance has formulated a total of 4 series and 13 standards for publishing coalition standards, including container electronic seal technical specifications, UHF radio frequency identification-book management, RFID-based electronic ticket technical specifications, etc. One of them has been upgraded to an industry standard.
