Chongqing's Liangjiang New Area and Chengdu's Shuangliu district jointly issued China's first cross-regional guidelines for industrial intellectual property (IP) cooperation on Oct 30, aiming to strengthen collaboration in the electronic information industry.

The guidelines provide practical guidance for businesses on IP management in areas including innovation, patent commercialization, and risk prevention.

The two regions also released a catalog of 100 patent-intensive products involving 1,037 patents, as well as a third list of IP supply and demand in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, featuring 1,243 patent offerings and 164 technology demands.

The initiatives were unveiled at a matchmaking event focused on the electronic information industry, covering four key sectors: integrated circuits, new-type displays, automotive electronics, and intelligent sensors. The event aimed to facilitate technology transactions, supply chain cooperation, and patent commercialization.

Companies and universities also presented patent-intensive products and research achievements, seeking opportunities for industry-academia collaboration and technology transfer.

The two regions said they would continue to deepen IP cooperation, promote closer integration of innovation, industry, and supply chains, and develop a model for cross-regional collaboration.
