According to statistics from the State Intellectual Property Office, as of March 2010, the number of patent applications received in my country has exceeded 6,011,448. However, among the numerous patent applications, domestic tool companies still lack the number of patent applications. If you enter the company name to search, the comparison results may be even more surprising. Many internationally renowned tool companies have applied for more than 100 patents, among which Sandvik Coromant has registered more than 400 patents. In contrast, Zhuzhou Diamond's nearly 200 patents are the best among many domestic tool companies, and some other larger companies have only dozens or even a few patents.

Intellectual property rights should first be a strategy for enterprises, a strategy to protect and create their own competitive advantages. Intellectual property is a powerful weapon. Now the industry has entered the era of intellectual property wars, and companies must arm themselves in order to survive. Domestic tool companies have also begun to realize this and are constantly enhancing their innovation capabilities, but the lack of core patented technology makes them at a disadvantage in market competition.

The lack of core patented technology affects the future development of the company. In the pursuit of various patents of international tool companies, there are fewer and fewer tools that can be produced, or a large amount of patent usage fees need to be paid, no matter which way it is for China. The development of cutting tool companies is unfavorable.

It is inevitable that there is a gap. It is more important to make efforts to catch up. Invest in innovation and R&D, establish an appropriate intellectual property portfolio, and fill up the lack of intellectual property in the short term. Domestic enterprises should abandon the old patent application and use mechanism, and consider whether they are in line with the business goals of the enterprise when applying for patents, and make them profitable, so as to avoid unnecessary waste due to the pursuit of false names. Zhuzhou Diamond's achievements in independent innovation are worth learning from other companies. The technical research and development team of more than 160 people guarantees that it will launch new products every year, so as to continue to maintain its leading position among domestic tool companies. Wang Shequan, deputy general manager of Zhuzhou Diamond, told reporters that the perfect R&D team of Zhuzhou Diamond has strong R&D and design capabilities, and the newly launched products can prove that the design and development capabilities are being greatly improved. Undertaking the construction of the "precision tool innovation platform" in the national numerical control major project provides more development space for the development of independent innovation in the future. This allows us to see the hope of catching up.
