Smart home patent application area distribution characteristics

According to the statistical analysis of the priorities of global patent applications, the number of patent applications in Japan, China, the United States, and South Korea accounted for 86% of the total number of smart home applications. Japan, China, the United States, and South Korea have become the main areas of smart home applications. Technology original country.

Japan's patent applications accounted for 27% of the world's smart home technology output, ranking first among technology-originated countries; followed by China, which has come from behind, patent applications accounted for 24% of the global smart home technology output.

The total number of applications in China has rapidly increased. It is related to the policy support provided by the Chinese government in intellectual property and smart home related industries in recent years and the importance attached to various enterprises. Although it is advantageous in terms of quantity, it must be realized that China’s patent applications mainly focus on foreign basic patents for peripheral distribution, and the innovation level is not high enough. If this situation cannot be changed, China’s disadvantages in this patent layout will gradually show itself. The future development of smart homes will therefore be more limited.

U.S. patent applications are ranked third, and the reason for this is that the U.S. has a traditional leading edge in the network communications industry and the smart terminal industry. The world's giant investment in scientific research has injected great impetus to the development of the U.S. original core technology.

South Korea's patent applications have also shown an explosive growth with the help of Samsung, LG, and other companies and government encouragement.

Not only that: As can be seen from the data of the target market countries for patent applications, Japan, China, the United States, and South Korea not only compete for market share in the country, but also extend the target market to other countries. They are both large countries with large technological output and the largest target market countries.

Chinese domestic patent applications show obvious regional distribution characteristics

Chinese patent applicants are mainly distributed in Guangdong, Zhejiang, Beijing, Jiangsu, and Shandong. The smart home patent applications in these five provinces and cities accounted for 70% of the total number of smart home patent applications in China. It can be seen that these five provinces and cities are already China's main original areas in this field.

Guangdong Province, relying on the intelligent control technology of smart home, leading advantages of remote control and wiring sub-technology, and a large number of well-known home appliance manufacturers (such as TCL, Midea, Gree, Chigo, Konka, etc.) in product innovation With the efforts of the protection of independent intellectual property rights, together with well-known telecommunications equipment suppliers Huawei, ZTE patent applications in the field of smart home, firmly secured the first position in patent applications, patent applications accounted for up to 30% of the total domestic .

The Zhejiang people are regarded as the Jews of Asia. The spirit of innovation and daring to fight makes this province more colorful. It is worth mentioning that one person in Zhejiang named Tan Qiren has more than 90 applications in the field of smart bathroom.

Beijing's related applications mainly rely on the strength of universities or research institutes such as Tsinghua University, Beijing University of Technology, and Chinese Academy of Sciences.

Jiangsu was preceded by a national sensor innovation demonstration area in Wuxi, followed by a large number of emerging enterprises in industrial cities such as Suzhou and Kunshan. These powerful original forces actually promoted the development of Jiangsu's smart business.

Shandong Province has become a large number of patent applicants because Qingdao owns Haier and Hisense two large home appliances companies, among which Haier is the most important member of the China e Jiajia Smart Home Alliance, and the e-jia standard proposed by the alliance has been incorporated into the international standards for smart homes.
