The Changsha Economic and Technical Development Zone is the first in the province to be recognized as a national IP demonstration zone by the State Intellectual Property Office. The zone is home to five national-level R&D centers along with more than 190 companies that have at least one patent each. Local companies won five Awards for Outstanding Chinese Patented Invention, the top patent award nationwide. The administration of the zone plans to invest 200 million yuan in the next three years to recruit more experts.
