A SIPO patent query system went online in late April with Deputy Commissioner Yang Tiejun leading a ceremony to mark the launch.

Securing, using and popularizing patent information is crucial to improving innovation, said SIPO Commissioner Tian Lipu.

"The system enables a query on a patent to be as convenient as getting flight information," he said.

The system helps "build a bridge for communication" linking SIPO with the public, applicants, patent holders and agencies, government officials said.
