I. INTRODUCTION II. DATA AND METHODOLOGY The salient feature of the fourth industrial revolution is the extensive application of cyber physical systems in the A. Data manufacturing environment [1], whose basic background is The data in this article are mainly from the two databases the deep integration of intelligence and network systems [2]. of China Intellectual Property Network (CNIPR) and China It can be seen that the concept of "network" has become an National Intellectual Property Office Patent Search Platform important keyword for the Fourth Industrial Revolution. (SIPO). Some of the data are from China Statistical Yearbook With the rapid development of economic globalization and of Science and Technology and China Statistical Yearbook. regional integration, it has gradually formed a cooperation In addition, data retrieval is also a more specialized retrieval network with major countries or major cities and technology. Thus, this study is mainly based on fields such as multinational companies in each country as the main body patent number, application number, patentee, inventor, around the world. Besides, this cooperation network is more classification number, invention name, date, etc. reflected in the area of R&D so that some scholars call it "Global R&D Network" or "Global Innovation Network" as B. Methodology well [3], [4]. The formation and development of the global This paper mainly uses the social network analysis method innovation network is a response to the increasingly fierce to study the patent innovation cooperation network of competition in the global industrial development. The fierce Chinese central cities. Social network analysis (SNA) can competition in the global industry is more reflected in the scientifically analyze the correlation between subjects and competition among cities, such as the layout of industrial their related attributes. As a highly applicable research manufacturers, the joining of professional talents, and the method, it has attracted increasing attention. The social creation of an innovative environment [5]. The core focus of network analysis method was first proposed by Barnes competition among cities is the city's innovation ability; the (1954). The research of Freeman (1979), Scott (1988) and city's patent is also a direct reflection of the city's innovation Wasserman (1993) further enriched the concepts and performance. In the context of a new round of technological methods of social network analysis [7]-[10]. It has been widely used in related fields, such as inter-organizational Manuscript received December 24, 2019; revised May 2, 2020.

  • Establishing 15 IP Tribunals Nationwide, Chinese Courts Further Concentrate Jurisdiction Over IP Matters
    Establishing 15 IP Tribunals Nationwide, Chinese Courts Further Concentrate Jurisdiction Over IP Matters March 15, 2018 Patent and ITC Litigation China has continued to develop its adjudicatory framework for intellectual property disputes with the establishment of three Intellectual Property Tribunals (“IP Tribunals”) this month. This reform began with the establishment of three specialized IP Courts in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou at the end of 2014, and has been furthered with the establishment of IP Tribunals in 10 provinces and two cities/municipalities around the country. For companies facing an IP dispute in China, understanding this framework in order to select the appropriate jurisdiction for a case can have a significant impact on the time to resolution, as well as the ultimate merits of the case. Most significantly, through the establishment of these IP Tribunals many Chinese courts have been stripped of their jurisdiction over IP matters in favor of the IP Tribunals. This has led to a fundamental change to the forum selection strategies of both multinational and Chinese companies. The three IP Tribunals established on the first two days of March 2018 are located in Tianjin Municipality, and cities of Changsha and Zhengzhou respectively. This brings the number of IP Tribunals that have been set up across 10 provinces and two cities/municipalities in China since January 2017 to a total of 15. The most unique aspect of the specialized IP Tribunals is that they have cross-regional1 and exclusive jurisdiction over IP matters in significant first-instance2 cases (i.e., those generally including disputes involving patents, new varieties of plants, integrated circuit layout and design, technical-related trade secrets, software, the recognition of well-known trademarks, and other IP cases in which the damages sought exceed a certain amount)3.

Nie, The Institute of Remote Sensing Applications, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, China - [email protected] Commission VI, WG V/2 KEY WORDS: Image interpretation, Image understanding, Feature detection, Archaeology ABSTRACT: Remote sensing began with the use of aerial photography and is acknowledged as a valuable tool for viewing, analyzing, characterizing, and making decisions about our environment. The Grand Canal of China is the longest ancient canal in the world and recently approved as the Key National Relics-preservation Unit. In our work multi-source and multi-temporal remote sensing data, including the aerial photographs taken half a century ago and the recently acquired SPOT5 multispectral images and the RADARSAT-1 images are collected. Through a comparative and complementary analysis of the data sets, some findings are given. The general characteristics of the canal course and the canal cities are also described, which provides important information for the making plans of the Grand Canal preservation. 1. INTRODUCTION can provide radar images at the spatial resolution of 1 meter. The fourth advantage is the high spectral resolution.

    Embargoed until: 09:30 CET Paris Time – 18 March 2021 Trends in China Facts from the Renewables in Cities 2021 Global Status Report Key Renewable Energy Takeaways in 2020 from China • China is the greatest market in the world for solar PV1, with many of these developments taking place in urban areas and helping to decarbonise energy use in buildings; however, further efforts are needed to increase the share of renewables across sectors, including heating and cooling, but also power – especially in light of the expansion of e-mobility2. • The electrification of all transport modes has been pioneered in Chinese cities; they are visibly committed to the national EV ambition, providing complementary municipal-level subsidies (in addition to national incentives) for battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles. • China is the second-largest producer of district heating (DH) in the world, and although these systems rely almost entirely on fossil fuels, some cities have been increasing solar thermal and geothermal heating capacity and use in their DH networks. Brand new data shows • Only 25 cities had renewable energy targets and/or policies from a global total of over 1,300 cities). This covers 321 million people, 38% of the urban population in China • On a global scale, Chinese cities are lagging behind on setting net-zero3 targets: some notable exceptions exist: 6 cities were developing net-zero targets in 2020, and Dalian set a target to achieve net-zero by 2050. Rizhao has had a target for climate neutrality by 2050 since 2008. Renewable Energy Developments in Chinese Cities City renewable energy commitments and policies • Most city-level targets and actions are in line with (and often part of the implementation of) national-level policy, including China’s commitment to reach carbon neutrality by 2060.
