The State Intellectual Property Office announced the winners of 2013 China Gold Patent Awards on Monday with 20 invention patents and five industrial designs honored.
Out of some 800 entries, a record-high number for the annual event, the award-winning patents ranged from breakthroughs in telecommunications, materials and pharmaceuticals to machinery, mining and aerospace. They generated 109.5 billion yuan ($18 billion) in combined sales by the end of 2012.
The inventions are "prime examples of efforts in IP creation, protection, use and management against the backdrop of further implementation of a national IP strategy in China", said SIPO commissioner Tian Lipu.
