World Patent Information, 1987, vol. 9, issue 4, 235-236

Abstract: In April China's patent system was two years old and the article describes its successful progress. By the end of February 1987 the patent bureau had handled a total of 35 943 applications, 10 358 of which were from overseas. Apart from the Beijing-based headquarters and a branch office in Shanghai, the Chinese Patent Bureau has set up offices for administrators in five other major cities. Also, in 270 agencies across the country over 7000 patent agents assist applicants. The annual input of applications is expected to rise to 30 000 by 1990.
