Low carbon in spotlight at upcoming patent week

China Patent Week will be held from Nov 7 to 13 in 31 provinces and cities across China, organizers announced at a press conference in Beijing last week.

With the theme of "implementing the national patent system, promoting transformation of economic development and accelerating development of a more innovative China", this year's event will highlight exhibitions, trade and forums on low-carbon patented products and technologies.

Now in its fourth year, the event organized by the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) will display modern low-carbon technologies in seven fields including new energy, energy conservation and modern services, said Ma Weiye, director general of SIPO's patent management department.
