The State Intellectual Property Office has approved Baotou Rare-earth High-tech Zone in North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region as a national demonstration zone of intellectual property rights.

Baotou Rare-earth High-tech Zone has been striving to improve the protection of intellectual property rights. It achieved remarkable results in intellectual property creation, utilization and protection. The zone's services surrounding intellectual property advanced notably in recent years.

In the past year, the zone had 2,913 effective patents, 75 percent of them were invention patents.

From 2005, the zone fostered 38 intellectual property pilot enterprises, six at the national level. Eight enterprises have built databases, and ten have completed strategic research reports on intellectual property rights.

Just like Baotou Rare-earth High-tech Zone, six other industrial parks were also selected as national intellectual property demonstrations after evaluation.
