Recently, Zhangzhou City released the White Paper on the Development and Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in Zhangzhou City in 2022. The white paper shows that in 2022, 23,774 new registered trademarks were approved in Zhangzhou, and the total number of valid registered trademarks in the city reached 152,367. The total number of geographical indication trademarks in the city was 153, ranking first in China’s prefecture-level cities for three consecutive years. In addition, the “Yunxiao County Geographical Indication Work Model” continued to play its role, with the total number of geographical indication trademarks in the county reaching 39, ranking first in China’s county-level administrative regions.

In the past year, Zhangzhou City was selected as one of the first national pilot cities for building a city strong in intellectual property. In Fujian Province’s performance evaluation of cities, Zhangzhou City tops the list in terms of the development index of intellectual property, with the “growth rate of high-value invention patents per 10,000 people” and “administrative law enforcement cases of intellectual property” ranking first in the province. The continuous optimization of business environment in terms of intellectual property provides strong support for Zhangzhou’s all-round promotion of high-quality development.
