Recently, the Key Points of the Local Intellectual Property Business Acceptance Window in 2021 was released. To enhance the service of local windows, the Key Points improves the layout of windows, the management mechanism and service capabilities. In September 2020, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) issued the Notice on Regulating the Names of Local Patent and Trademark Business Windows and Steadily Promoting the "One Window" of Intellectual Property Business. Relevant provinces and municipalities have promoted the functional integration of patent agencies and trademark acceptance windows and the centralized acceptance of IP business. Up to now, 27 provinces and municipalities have set up comprehensive IPR business acceptance windows across the country, establishing the "one-window" service system with a completion rate of 80%. All regions have implemented the plans of the CNIPA by promoting business integration, providing a larger scope of services, and improving the quality of services, and achieved remarkable results.

The first is to steadily integrate patent and trademark business, and further the promotion and application of IPR. The second is to further reduce the processing time and increase the service efficiency. The third is to improve the management mechanism of service personnel, and strengthen vocational training and knowledge sharing.

Next, CNIPA will promote the implementation of "one-window" service in seven regions that have not yet completed the integration of IP business acceptance windows to improve their management and operation, promote their high-quality development, establish a new image of window services. In the end, every single window will have multiple functions and help optimize the business environment in the IP field.
