To thoroughly implement the arrangements for building an intellectual property powerhouse, effectively enhance the intellectual property-related duties of party and government leading officials, and solidify the foundation of a law-based business environment, on October 22 the Fengyang County Market Supervision Administration in Chuzhou, Anhui Province held a special training class on intellectual property protection at the Anhui Xiaogang Cadre College, with 40 township and section-level officials from across the county participating in the study.
The training, themed "Protect Intellectual Property, Promote Innovative Development," closely followed the core idea that "protecting intellectual property is protecting innovation." It systematically explained the main types of intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and geographical indications, along with their institutional rules, interpreted relevant arrangements of the outline for building an intellectual property powerhouse, and sorted out common misconceptions in grassroots work. The instruction combined typical cases such as the record-breaking compensation case involving vanillin trade secrets, the "green Sichuan peppercorn" trademark rights protection case, the local Chuzhou Yangzi flooring anti-counterfeiting case, and the governance of the Tianchang remote control industry, using cases to explain the law and intuitively analyzing infringement risks and governance pathways.
Grounded in the actual performance of duties by grassroots officials, the training focused on four key scenarios—investment promotion, policy implementation, administrative law enforcement, and daily office work—and explained practical points for intellectual property operations. Regarding the cultivation and use of geographical indications, it drew on cases of local specialty products such as Chuzhou chrysanthemum to explain how to empower rural industry revitalization through intellectual property. At the same time, it offered reminders on work details such as the use of publicity materials by government agencies, management of employee inventions, and protection of corporate trade secrets, guiding officials to transform from "bystanders" of intellectual property into "guardians" of innovation.
Next, Fengyang County will continue to strengthen the intellectual property literacy of party and government officials, integrate intellectual property concepts into the entire process of investment services, industrial support, and market regulation, safeguard the lawful rights and interests of innovation entities, and use intellectual property protection to support high-quality county economic development.
