11 patents of Shenmu Coal Chemical Tianyuan Company have been authorized by the **Intellectual Property Office. Author/Source: Coal Chemical Network. Date: June 4, 2019. Clicks: 6. As of the end of May, 4 invention patents and 7 utility model patents of Shenmu Coal Chemical Tianyuan Company had been authorized by the **Intellectual Property Office. It is understood that the aforementioned authorized invention patents include \"A Method for Passivating and Cooling Bituminous Coal and Its Integrated Device\" and \"A Steam-Thermally Coupled Pyrolysis Method for Pulverized Coal\", among others. The authorized utility model patents include \"A system for recovering coal tar from pyrolyzed gas\" and \"A system for recovering light components from pyrolyzed gas\", among others. It is reported that since the **Intellectual Property Office** was incorporated into the State Administration for Market Regulation, it has pursued an initiative to improve the quality of patents, enforced strict standards in patent examination and approval processes, resolutely curbed low-quality applications, and focused on developing high-value core patents. The examination period for utility model patents is affected by policy factors, extending to 7–14 months, which is an increase of 2–4 months compared to before; as a result, the approval rate also declines. Under such stringent review conditions, Shenmu Coal Chemical Tianyuan Company has received 11 additional patent approvals. This not only provides momentum for the company’s future development but also enhances the stability and reliability of its products, offering strong technological support for the transformation and upgrading of Shenmu Coal Chemical Tianyuan. In recent years, Shenmu Coal Chemical Tianyuan Company has, while encouraging its technical staff to carry out innovative activities, placed greater emphasis on transforming core technologies into intellectual property rights and protecting them. On the one hand, the company actively engages professional intellectual property agencies to pursue patent applications on a continuous basis ； On the other hand, the company has repeatedly invited professionals to provide training for its intellectual property staff and related technical personnel on topics such as patent search and analysis, patent infringement and circumvention strategies, as well as patent identification and strategy development. By ensuring high quality, these efforts have helped to expand the scope of patent identification, increase the number of patent applications filed, and raise the rate of patent approvals. To date, the company has filed a total of 102 patent applications, and 73 of these have been granted, including 20 invention patents and 53 utility model patents. As an intangible asset, a patent holds great commercial value. The quality and quantity of patents reflect a company’s innovation capacity and core competitive strengths; they are also essential prerequisites for companies to apply for various scientific and technological programs and projects, such as those aimed at becoming high-tech enterprises or to obtain innovation funds. In addition, governments at all levels also provide innovation awards or special financial subsidies to companies that hold patents, thereby supporting their high-quality development.
