China has a very low number of triadic patent families. This area is dominated by Japan, US and EU. Triadic patent families tell us something about the value and potential of the patent, because those who take out a triadic patent families spend a lot of resources doing so and most be betting on a return on investment on the world market. Now the low number of Chinese triadic patent families most mean that the patents taken out in China are with focus on the domestic market not the world market, this tells us something about the need and focus of Chinese R&D. Chinese R&D is ???? and not ???? so in that sense the patent numbers tells us something. What is also tells us is that the IP legal framework in the years to come will focus on protecting Chinese produced IP in China as there is no incentive to protect non Chinese IP, with China not yet participating in the valuable triadic patent families race.

How do you see China's enforcement of IP law developing in the future? From my perspective, even smaller Chinese companies are becoming increasingly aware of the need to be aware of IP infringments if they want to maintain consistent business with European and North American clients. We know that China is getting better about making good laws but lacks the resources/motivation to actively enforce these rulings. Does the future of IP enforcement in China depend more on the government effectively enforcing the laws or private companies policing themselves?
