On August 1, the China Patent Electronic Examination System project was formally launched in Beijing.  Yang Tiejun, Deputy Commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) and head of the project attended a ceremony to celebrate the event.  He stressed full collaboration of project participants to develop a world-class patent e-examination system that suits China's specific needs.

 

Yang treated this system as an important platform to implement the national IP strategy and a primary guarantee to vault SIPO to one of the better IP offices in the world.  The system is designed to enable everything corresponding to all the patent examination proceedings to run in one central electronic network.  Trial operation is scheduled next August and full operation is set at next year's end.

 

The software for the system is about to be developed by Great Wall Computer Software and Systems.
