Trial implementation of Regulations for Non-practicingMembers of All-China Attorneys AssociationRecently, the number of peoplewho obtained patent agent qual-ification is increasing with the fast development of intellectualproperty in China. Up to now, there are more than 27,000 peoplewho got patent agent qualification certification, and about 12,000people are practicing at patent agencies as patent attorneys. Morethan half of people who got patent agent qualification certificationare not engaged in patent agency. Some of them serve in companiesand their positions are related to intellectual property.

A new batch of application for State-level Pilot Enterprisein Patent Operation has startedRecently, to firmly implement the Patent navigation pilot projectand improve the capability of development driven by industryinnovation, a new batch of application for State-level Pilot Enter-prise in Patent Operation has started. The state-level Pilot Enter-prise in Patent Operation project was initially released in 2013 todevelop Model Corporation in patent operation industry, and twobatches of application have been done ever since, in 2013 and2014 respectively.According to information this year, an enterprise that applies forState-level Pilot Enterprise in Patent Operation should be either amanufacturing-type corporation or a service-type corporation.

A service-type corporation shouldhave a well-structured Patent operations teamwith excellent oper-ational capability, and it should have already earned over￥10,000,000 from transfer of patent and patent licensing, orhave earned over ￥1,000,000 from Intellectual property servicein the first half year.In terms of work program, a manufacturing-type corporationcould propose scheme by studying the working mechanism of pat-ent navigation decision-making, the construction of synergetic pat-ent operation system, and how to build patent portfolio. A service-type corporation could carry out work on patent navigation andanalysis, patent evaluations, patents industrialization, operationof strategic alliances in industry intellectual property, and intellec-tual property investment and financing.http://www.sipo.gov.cn/zscqgz/2015/201508/t20150819_1162343.htmlhttp://www.sipa.gov.cn/gb/zscq/node5/userobject1ai9938.htmlhttp://www.sipo.gov.cn/tz/gz/201501/t20150104_1055309.htmlJi-Qiang ShiChengdu Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences4. Achievements and Prospects of Talent Management inChina’s Intellectual Property IndustryIn the national talents management exchange meeting of intel-lectual property held in August, it was reported that breakthroughshad been achieved in intellectual property talent management.Firstly, the talents project of intellectual property has beenimplemented vigorously. Guided by over a hundred high-level tal-ents in the field of intellectual property, two batches of talentcandidate recommendation and selection have been carried outduring the Twelfth Five Year Plan.Secondly, the construction of intellectual property training basehas been actively promoted. 24 training bases across the wholecountry now form an integrated system for intellectual propertytalent training, covering the Yangtze River delta, the Pearl RiverDelta, Central and Western regions, and the Northeast traditionalindustrial base, etc., and favourably driving the talent training insurrounded areas.Thirdly, the informationization of intellectual property talentshas been positively advanced. To enrich the talent pool of state-level experts in intellectual property, authoritative experts areinvited nationwide to constitute a national advisory committee ofintellectual property, and to take charge of the selection of expertsfor the talent pool.In terms of the main tasks of talent management in intellectualproperty industry in the upcoming five years, it is proposed that ateam of leading talents in intellectual property with sound theoret-ical knowledge, practical skills and rich experiences should be con-structed. Intellectual property talents that conform to urgent socialneeds should be cultivated with high priority, for instance, entre-preneurs and advanced management personnel who are adept ininnovation and entrepreneurship with knowledge in intellectualproperty, and professional talents providing intellectual property-related services in fields such as law, consultation, training andagency. It is necessary to formulate an allocation scheme for intel-lectual property talents task and an implementation plan for keyprojects during the Thirteenth Five Year Plan to guide the develop-ment of the talent team. Investigation in the frontlines of enter-prises, service industries and cities in different provinces acrossthe country are to be carried out, enhancing the systematic level,reasonability and effectiveness of policy-making and encouragingthe talents in benefiting the economic and social development ofChina.http://www.sipo.gov.cn/zscqgz/2015/201508/t20150826_1165817.htmlLu Tang, Ji-Qiang ShiChengdu Library of Chinese Academy of SciencesZhi-Ping Yang*, Ying-Qi Xu, Ji-Qiang ShiChengdu Library of Chinese Academy of Sciences, PR China* Corresponding author.E-mail addresses: yangzp@yahoo.com, yangzp@clas.ac.cn(Z.-P.
