On the Writing Skills of Patent Application Documents in China National Intellectual Property Administration Public Welfare Lecture

  In practice, a large number of inventions are protected by submitting patent applications and obtaining authorization. Therefore, the writing quality of patent application documents often affects whether the patentee can successfully defend his rights and resist competitors. In this paper, the author discusses the writing skills of patent application documents from the perspective of writing patent application documents.

  First, we should consider the appropriate scope of protection. The so-called "appropriate" scope of protection refers to obtaining as large a scope of protection as possible on the premise of complying with China’s patent law and its implementation rules.

  The author thinks that a patent application document can "predict" the comparison documents that may be retrieved, which is based on the full retrieval of domestic and foreign patent documents in the early stage of writing the patent application document, so as to determine the appropriate level of existing technology, construct an appropriate scope of protection, and make the patent more stable.

  In practice, the author found that many existing patent application documents only describe the technical scheme itself. The author believes that the process of writing patent application documents is a process of secondary creation, which requires the joint participation of inventors and patent agents to discuss various implementation methods to solve the technical problems involved in invention-creation, and determine the claims after summarizing and abstracting the technical characteristics of the implementation methods (upper generalization or functional limitation). And the upper generalization also needs as many examples as possible so that the claims can be supported by the specification. When judging the infringement, the functional features are interpreted as the specific embodiment disclosed in the specification and its equivalent embodiment, and the application of the equivalence rule is easy to have objections. Therefore, it is helpful to obtain a more appropriate scope of protection by excavating as many embodiments as possible in the writing stage of patent application documents.

  Second, when writing patent application documents, we should also consider it from the perspective of being conducive to infringement judgment. For example, based on principle of universal coverage, when writing the patent application file at first, only the most necessary technical feature set that can solve the technical problems of the invention needs to be written into the independent claim, and unnecessary technical features will only limit the narrowing of the protection scope. In practice, the name of the invention, the characteristics of the use environment, the technical characteristics of the product defined by the preparation method, and the step sequence of the method claim may limit the scope of patent protection, so it should be carefully considered when using it. If there are possibly ambiguous terms in the claim and they are not explained in the specification, it may cause obstacles to the interpretation of the subsequent claims.

  Third, the commercial prospects of patented products or methods should be considered. In the writing stage of patent application documents, patent agents may find that technical solutions can be applied to fields with more commercial prospects during the communication with inventors. For example, a technical scheme can be used in PC, but after understanding the existing technology, it is found that its application prospect in mobile terminal is very considerable, but it needs to be adjusted accordingly when applied in mobile terminal, so different technical schemes are produced, and the application strategy needs to be adjusted in time.

  Fourth, we should consider whether patents can be easily evaded by competitors. The patent agent can work with the applicant to develop possible improved technical solutions and possible deteriorated technical solutions. The improved technical solutions can be used as a "retreat" in the patent examination stage and may prevent competitors from submitting improved solutions to patent applications. According to the Guide to Determining Patent Infringement issued by Beijing Higher People’s Court, the deteriorated technical scheme does not constitute equivalent infringement, so the deteriorated technical scheme should also be considered when writing patent application documents.

  Fifth, it should be considered that it is conducive to obtaining evidence and safeguarding rights. If the applicant is engaged in the production of products, from the perspective of tort compensation, it may be more beneficial for the right holder to write patent application documents mainly against product manufacturers. This is because it is generally easier for sellers, importers and users of infringing products to prove the legal source of infringing products. In this case, it is advantageous to write the product and the claim of the preparation method of the product.

  In the fields of communication, network and computer, the applicant may face multiple infringing objects, and which infringing objects he hopes to resist is an important factor in determining his claim. Different claims can be designed for different infringing objects.

  Generally speaking, it is more beneficial to obtain evidence if you can know the technical characteristics of the product without disassembling it or using it by consumers. If you need reverse engineering to determine whether a product is infringing, you need to consider the difficulty of reverse engineering. For example, for related patents in the chemical field, the technical features that can be measured by ordinary measuring instruments or technologies are more conducive to obtaining evidence. For patents related to semiconductor and chip fields, if reverse engineering is easy to realize, components and their connection modes can be described. If reverse engineering is difficult to realize or the cost is high, it is necessary to consider whether it is necessary to change the writing method.

  Sixth, we should consider the layout strategy. When writing patent application documents, we should also pay attention to the role of dependent claims, that is, in addition to independent claims, other novel and creative technical features can be arranged in dependent claims to prevent competitors from evading design.

  At the same time, different levels of protection scope should be considered, and some patent application documents may be incompatible with certain technical features. At this time, independent claims with different protection scope can be considered to avoid giving up some protection scope due to modification. In addition, in some cases, the protection scope of the method claim can be different from that of the product claim, for example, the protection scope of the method claim can be greater than that of the product claim to achieve different levels of protection.

  Chinese applicants need to consider the relevant laws and regulations of different countries when writing patent application documents if they want to arrange patents abroad. When submitting an international patent application through the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), due to the relatively limited space for modification, it is especially necessary to strictly check the priority documents.

  For example, when filing an American patent application, we should avoid too much self-admission and discussion about the existing technology. Because the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office has a strict review of Antecedent Basis, patent Enablement and Written Description, it should be extra cautious when writing priority documents.

First, the target population

At this stage, the focus of vaccination is to fill the gap in immune level for different target groups and further reduce the risk of severe illness and death. The target population is as follows:

(a) people who are not infected and have not completed the established immunization program. Including uninfected people aged 3-17 who have not completed basic immunization, uninfected people aged over 18 who have not completed the first dose of booster immunization, and uninfected people aged over 18 who have not completed the second dose of booster immunization (high-risk people with infection, elderly people over 60 years old, people with serious basic diseases and people with low immunity).

(two) people who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization.

Second, the time interval and vaccine selection

(1) Time interval.

The uninfected target population completes the follow-up vaccination according to the established immunization program and its time interval requirements. Among them, for people over 18 who have completed basic immunization, the interval of the first dose of booster immunization is adjusted to more than 3 months.

People who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization can be vaccinated with one dose after 3 months of infection.

(2) vaccine selection.

Shenzhou cell recombinant Covid-19 tetravalent S trimer protein vaccine and Unacon Covid-19 mRNA vaccine have been included in emergency use, which can be used for intensive immunization of people over 18 years old.

For people aged 3-17 who have been infected and have not completed basic immunization, the vaccines used for vaccination shall be implemented according to the relevant requirements of the previous period.

Follow-up will be based on the progress of vaccine research and development, approval, combined with the epidemic situation, virus variation and other conditions, timely research and adjustment of vaccination strategies.

Third, ensure vaccination safety

All localities should continue to give priority to vaccination safety, and organize vaccination implementation in strict accordance with the requirements of the Code for Vaccination Work. Local health departments should implement the "four haves" requirement that vaccination units should have emergency personnel stationed in general hospitals at or above the second level, emergency equipment and medicines, 120 ambulances on duty, and green channels for treatment in general hospitals at or above the second level to ensure vaccination safety. Inoculation units should do a good job in vaccination information registration and vaccine flow management, and update the vaccination records in the immunization planning information system and vaccination vouchers in a timely and accurate manner.

Fourth, strengthen organization and implementation

(1) Strengthening the responsibility of territorial subjects. All localities should implement the responsibility of territorial management, attach great importance to and co-ordinate the vaccination work in Covid-19. It is necessary to strengthen the guidance of vaccination work within the jurisdiction and fully grasp the progress of the work. Relevant local departments should strengthen docking and do a good job of coordination.

(two) to play the role of the competent department of industry. The competent departments of relevant industries should guide the units where the personnel in this industry work to actively cooperate with local unified arrangements and jointly do a good job in organizing and mobilizing.

(3) Strengthen supervision and guidance. It is necessary to closely track and monitor the progress of vaccination in various places, and find and study and solve related problems in time. Improve the traceability system of vaccine flow, improve the safety supervision mechanism of vaccine chain, continuously strengthen the whole process management and safety precautions, and effectively ensure the efficient and smooth transportation of vaccines.

(4) Do a good job in publicity and guidance. All localities and relevant departments should, according to the needs of work, formulate targeted publicity measures for vaccination work, focus on the purpose and significance of vaccination, respond to social concerns, sum up and popularize typical experiences and practices, actively guide the target population to take the initiative to vaccinate, and especially guide and improve the vaccination rate of the elderly population.

Note: People aged 3-17 can only use Covid-19 inactivated vaccine of Sinopharm Zhongsheng Beijing Company, Beijing Kexing Company, Sinopharm Zhongsheng Wuhan Company and Zhifeilong Kema recombinant Covid-19 vaccine (CHO cells).

Important! Health risk warning of Henan CDC in September

  September is autumn, the temperature drops gradually, the temperature difference between day and night increases, kindergartens and schools in various places open one after another, the mobility and aggregation of people increase, and the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday and other factors are superimposed, which easily leads to the spread and popularity of many infectious diseases. Henan CDC hereby reminds the general public to pay attention to novel coronavirus infection, whooping cough, norovirus infectious diarrhea, dengue fever, school tuberculosis and food poisoning this month.

  Key tips

  1. novel coronavirus infection

  The epidemic situation of COVID-19 in our province showed a fluctuating upward trend since the end of July, and it showed a fluctuating downward trend after reaching its peak in mid-August. In autumn, students start school one after another, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the flow and gathering of people increase, and the risk of infection in COVID-19 increases. In crowded places such as public transportation and shopping malls, we should persist in personal protection to reduce the risk of virus transmission.

  Protective measures:

  1. Strengthen the protection of high-risk groups. Targeted measures are taken for high-risk groups such as patients with basic diseases and the elderly, so that cases can be found in time and treated effectively, and serious cases and deaths can be reduced as much as possible. Timely discover and deal with possible cluster epidemics in places where people gather, such as kindergartens, schools and old-age care institutions.

  2. Pay attention to personal protection. Residents should wear masks in their daily trips, minimize unnecessary gatherings and keep social distance. Maintain good personal and environmental hygiene, wash hands frequently, often ventilate, pay attention to rest, pay attention to nutrition and enhance physical fitness.

  3. Use drugs rationally and see a doctor as needed. After infection, asymptomatic infected persons and mild cases should take care of themselves at home, reduce contact with their roommates, use symptomatic drugs rationally according to relevant guidelines, do a good job in health monitoring, and go to medical institutions in time if the condition worsens.

  2, whooping cough

  Pertussis is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by Bordetella pertussis, and its typical clinical manifestations are paroxysmal, spasmodic cough and crowing inhalation roar. The disease has a long course and can last for 2-3 months, so it is called "whooping cough". It is mainly transmitted by air droplets, but also by direct contact with respiratory secretions of patients. The population is generally susceptible, and infants without immunization history are at higher risk.

  Protective measures:

  1. Standardize vaccination. Vaccination with DTP vaccine can reduce the risk of severe pertussis and death in infants. According to the requirements of the national immunization program for children, school-age children should be vaccinated with DTP vaccine as soon as possible, and school-age children who have not been vaccinated all the time should be replanted as soon as possible.

  2. Seek medical attention in time. Especially when infants and young children have paroxysmal spastic cough or have their own sudden cough after similar cases around them, they should take the initiative to seek medical treatment in time to reduce the risk of epidemic spread and serious illness.

  3. Do daily protection. Keep good hygiene habits, wash your hands frequently and ventilate frequently, cover your mouth and nose with elbows or paper towels when coughing or sneezing, and pay attention to reasonable work and rest and proper physical exercise. Try to avoid crowded and poorly ventilated public places.

  3, norovirus infectious diarrhea

  Norovirus is a group of non-encapsulated RNA viruses, which has the characteristics of strong infectivity, rapid spread, short immune protection time and general susceptibility of the whole population. It is the most important pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis. It can be transmitted through polluted water and food, and can also be infected by aerosol inhalation or contact with items contaminated by virus. Shellfish such as oysters and raw fruits and vegetables are common foods that cause infection. It is easy to spread in crowded places such as schools and kindergartens. In the autumn school season, kindergartens, schools and other educational institutions should do daily protection and strengthen health monitoring.

  Protective measures:

  1. Maintain personal hygiene. Pay attention to washing hands frequently to prevent diseases from entering the mouth, especially before and after meals and before preparing and processing food.

  2. Pay attention to the hygiene of diet and drinking water. Do not eat uncooked food and unpasteurized milk, shellfish and seafood such as oysters should be eaten after deep processing; Fruits and vegetables should be carefully washed before eating, and do not eat unclean fruits and vegetables; Separate raw and cooked foods to avoid cross-contamination; Ensure the safety of water sources, do not drink raw water, and the selection of bottled water should meet the hygiene standards.

  3. Pay attention to standardization. The environment or the surface of an object polluted by the patient’s vomit or excrement should be cleaned and disinfected by trained personnel with chlorine-containing disinfectants or other effective disinfectants. In the process of handling patients’ vomit, excrement and disinfection, you must do personal protection, wear masks and rubber or disposable gloves, and carefully clean and disinfect your hands after cleaning.

  4. Dengue fever

  Dengue fever is an acute infectious disease caused by dengue virus. Its clinical manifestations are persistent fever, accompanied by severe headache, myalgia, joint pain, nausea, vomiting and rash. In severe cases, bleeding, shock, organ failure and even death may occur. The disease is mainly transmitted by the bite of Aedes mosquitoes. September is still the peak of mosquito activity, so we should keep good environment and room hygiene in our daily life, reduce mosquito breeding and reduce the risk of infection. At the same time, people who travel and work in dengue epidemic areas should pay attention to personal protection to prevent mosquito bites, and do a good job of self-health monitoring after returning from epidemic areas.

  Protective measures:

  1. Do a good job in mosquito control. Clean up the accumulated water in indoor containers such as flowerpots and drinking fountains in time, clean up domestic garbage and sanitary dead corners, and keep the room clean and tidy. Install screen doors and screens in the room, and use mosquito-repellent incense, mosquito killer and electric mosquito swatter to prevent and repel mosquitoes.

  2. Personal protection should be done when going to dengue epidemic areas. You should wear long-sleeved clothes and trousers, spray repellent and mosquito repellent on bare skin, use mosquito nets when sleeping, and try to choose hotels with air conditioning or screens.

  3. Do your own health monitoring. After symptoms appear, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible, and actively inform the doctor of the relevant residence history for early detection, early diagnosis and early treatment.

  4. Use of personal protective equipment. Personal protective equipment such as mosquito nets and mosquito repellent can effectively prevent mosquito bites, thus reducing the probability of dengue virus infection. In areas with frequent mosquito activities, it is recommended to use mosquito nets or apply mosquito repellent to protect yourself.

  5, school tuberculosis

  Tuberculosis is a chronic infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which can invade many organs, and pulmonary tuberculosis infection is the most common. It is mainly transmitted by respiratory droplets, and healthy people may be infected by inhaling air droplets with tuberculosis. The main symptoms are cough, expectoration lasting for more than 2 weeks, chest tightness, low fever in the afternoon, fatigue, loss of appetite, emaciation, night sweats and so on.

  Tuberculosis is one of the infectious diseases that schools focus on preventing and controlling. It is the beginning season of autumn recently, and it is a high incidence period of tuberculosis. Schools, parents and students should pay attention to the prevention and control of tuberculosis.

  Protective measures:

  1. Strengthen campus management. It is suggested that schools should strengthen the morning check-up, afternoon check-up and late check-up of students in school, implement measures such as tracking students’ absence from class and tracing the cause, and find tuberculosis patients and suspects in school as soon as possible.

  2. Pay attention to personal protection and improve the body’s immunity. Pay attention to window ventilation, do not spit everywhere, and cover your mouth and nose with your elbow when coughing or sneezing. Reasonable diet, balanced nutrition, combining work and rest, ensuring adequate sleep and appropriate outdoor activities, enhancing physical fitness and improving body resistance.

  3. Standardize the whole course of treatment. The whole treatment course of pulmonary tuberculosis is 6-8 months, and the whole treatment course of drug-resistant pulmonary tuberculosis is 18-24 months. According to the doctor’s standard treatment, most tuberculosis patients can be cured.

  6. Food poisoning

  Food poisoning is a major disease, which is caused by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea and other symptoms after eating food contaminated by toxic and harmful substances or containing toxins. In September, the high temperature and high humidity weather continued in many places in China, which also created conditions for the proliferation of bacteria. Food is more prone to spoilage. With the large number of seafood on the market, it is necessary to pay attention to the pollution of seafood by Vibrio parahaemolyticus, which is easy to cause food poisoning.

  Protective measures:

  1. Pay attention to food hygiene and achieve "six noes": don’t eat uncooked and thoroughly cooked food, unclean fruits and vegetables, food of unknown origin, picking and eating wild mushrooms and wild plants, and don’t buy wild mushrooms picked and sold by individuals, and don’t buy wild mushrooms at mobile stalls.

  2. When eating out, pay attention to the selection of catering units with complete licenses and good sanitary conditions. Buy food in supermarkets or vegetable markets with health protection.

  3. Pay attention to personal hand hygiene, wash your hands before and after meals, before and after handling raw and cooked food and its packaging, after touching pets and disposing of garbage.

How to upgrade consumers’ benefits by adding more codes around the country to support trade-in?

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, September 2ndQuestion: How to upgrade consumers’ enjoyment of trade-in support of overweight in various places?

Xinhua News Agency reporters Xie Xiyao, Li Xiaoting and Gong Liankang.

Recently, the "upgraded version" policy of promoting the trade-in of automobiles and home appliances at the central level has been introduced one after another. The reporter recently visited markets in Beijing, Hubei, Chongqing, Fujian and other places, and learned that all localities have introduced detailed rules for the replacement of old consumer goods in light of local actual conditions, expanded the coverage of subsidized products, upgraded subsidies, made the application process more convenient, and increased consumers’ willingness to purchase.

Government subsidies are superimposed on enterprises to make profits, and new subsidies for automobile replacement and renewal are added.

On the evening of August 27th, the reporter went to the Geely Yinhe Wuhan Star Experience Center in Hanyang District, Wuhan. The slogan of "trade-in" subsidy for cars in the store was everywhere, and many citizens went to the store to see cars and consult preferential policies.

The salesperson took the store’s best-selling model Geely Yinhe E8 as an example and calculated a "detailed account" for the reporter:

For a new car with an original price of 165,800 yuan, if the customer’s old car meets the scrapping conditions, the maximum state subsidy can be 20,000 yuan; Or transfer the car under his name, you can get a replacement subsidy of 12,000 yuan. During this period, you can also apply for a trade-in coupon of up to 2,000 yuan in Wuhan at the same time, plus a discount of more than 10,000 yuan from manufacturers and 4S stores, and the maximum superimposed discount for buying this new car can reach more than 30,000 yuan.

According to the national policy, for individual consumers who meet the provisions of the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Vehicle Trade-in Subsidies and scrap old cars and buy new ones, the subsidy standard will be increased from 10,000 yuan for new energy passenger cars and 7,000 yuan for fuel passenger cars to 20,000 yuan and 15,000 yuan respectively. In addition to scrapping and updating, this policy will also include replacement and updating in the scope of subsidies, and support local governments to carry out replacement and updating independently.

At present, following the rhythm of national policies, local governments have successively launched trade-in schemes focusing on the local automobile market.

The national dicing and matching funds in Hubei Province are more than six times the size of the funds before the afterburner measures. The maximum subsidy for car scrapping and renewal is 20,000 yuan, and the maximum subsidy for replacement and renewal is 16,000 yuan.

Beijing has made it clear that the newly purchased new energy vehicles after replacement include not only pure electric vehicles, but also plug-in hybrid vehicles (including extended-range vehicles) and fuel cell vehicles, and all of them can enjoy replacement subsidies if they are transferred inside and outside Beijing.

Shanghai puts used cars in an important position in the trade-in policy, encourages the development of used car distribution business, and makes it clear that the average age of used cars will be reduced by one year by 2027 …

Government subsidies are superimposed on enterprises to make profits, new replacement and renewal subsidies are added, and consumers’ willingness to buy new cars is increased.

Up to now, the trade-in of consumer goods in Hubei has benefited more than 400,000 consumers, driving the sales of new cars and home appliances to 12 billion yuan. Wuhan has achieved the goal of trade-in of automobiles for the whole year ahead of schedule; As of mid-July, Hunan has received more than 8,600 applications for automobile scrapping and renewal subsidies, and more than 23,000 applications for replacement and renewal subsidies, which has driven automobile sales to exceed 5.5 billion yuan. From the release of the National New Deal to September 1st, the cumulative amount of old-for-new subsidies in Chongqing reached 9,748, and the cumulative sales of automobiles exceeded 1.837 billion yuan.

According to the data of the Ministry of Commerce, as of 10: 00 a.m. on September 1, more than 810,000 applications for car scrapping and renewal subsidies were received. From January to July, the national automobile retail sales reached 11.556 million, up 2.3% year-on-year. Among them, the retail sales of new energy passenger cars was 4.988 million, a year-on-year increase of 33.7%; The number of used cars was 10.992 million, a year-on-year increase of 6.3%.

The subsidy for home appliance replacement will be expanded, and the on-site application will be reduced immediately.

Mr. Zhou of Nanchuan District, Chongqing recently bought a Haier Class 1 energy-efficient air conditioner with a price of 2,499 yuan and enjoyed a government subsidy of 499.8 yuan for trade-in. "Government subsidies are very cost-effective, and it is very convenient to apply for money immediately." Mr. Zhou said.

On August 26th, Chongqing’s "upgraded version" green smart home appliances trade-in subsidy policy landed. On the first day of the implementation of the policy, the city issued a government subsidy of 8.165 million yuan, which directly led to the sales of home appliances of 42.6335 million yuan.

The reporter learned from the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Commerce that at present, the state’s pre-allocated funds to support trade-in have been issued to Chongqing, and the local governments will match the funds in proportion to jointly promote the trade-in of consumer goods.

The state has made it clear that eight types of household appliances enjoy a subsidy standard of 15% to 20% of the sales price, with a maximum subsidy of 2,000 yuan per piece. At the same time, support local governments to independently determine the varieties of subsidized "8+N" household appliances. Up to now, many places have successively issued implementation rules for the implementation of home appliance trade-in.

Chongqing has made it clear that individual consumers will enjoy 15% to 20% of the sales price of each type of household appliances when they purchase 11 types of household appliances with energy efficiency or water efficiency standards of Grade 2 or above; In terms of superimposed subsidies for enterprises, consumers can enjoy a 2% trade-in subsidy if they sell nine categories of old household appliances and buy any kind of products with energy efficiency or water efficiency of Grade 2 or above.

Beijing consumers can access the "Jingtong" applet through Alipay, WeChat, Baidu, Meituan and other channels, and receive the subsidy qualification codes of more than 10,000 household appliances in 8 categories, and enjoy preferential treatment in the payment link.

On the basis of eight types of household appliances, Guangdong has added three types of products, such as mobile phones, tablets and smart wearable devices, as well as other N-type products that are actually included in the scope of subsidies in various cities, forming an "8+3+N" product category.

From the central government to the local government, the subsidy policy has clearly defined the energy efficiency standards, and only subsidizes energy efficiency products of Grade 2 and above. "Trade-in is not a simple replacement of similar products, but a demand that tends to be higher-end, smarter, more environmentally friendly and more personalized, and supports the transformation and upgrading of household consumption through trade-in." Chen Yaoting, a professor at the Business School of Minnan Normal University, said.

Continue to open up new blocking points and smooth the resource circulation chain.

Recycling has always been a blocking point that affects trade-in consumption, and it is also the key to smooth the recycling of resources.

Fujian Quantong Resource Recycling Industrial Park, located in Zhangzhou Development Zone, Fujian Province, has a truckload of used household appliances entering the factory, weighing, unloading, acceptance, bar coding and warehousing, and then entering the dismantling process. Every day, about 2000 sets of waste household appliances are treated here in a standardized way.

Driven by the trade-in policy, Quantong has established strategic cooperation with recycling enterprises under Midea Group to realize the recycling system of products from sales, recycling to standardized dismantling.

The national policy is clear, all localities should strengthen the construction of digital platforms, learn from each other’s experience, strengthen data analysis, and timely and accurately grasp the information of the whole process of home appliances replacement, purchase and disassembly. The reporter visited and learned that under the guidance of the trade-in policy, the diversified recycling pattern of used household appliances is accelerating.

"Old household appliances are not limited to brands and years, and they can provide one-stop trade-in services such as free door-to-door dismantling of old machines and free transportation." He Yuanlin, general manager of Dahai Daming Trading Co., Ltd., a distributor of Haier Zhangzhou, said that the company is docking with dismantling enterprises with relevant qualifications, establishing a standardized recycling system for used household appliances, and at the same time promoting the development of community services for household appliances.

On September 2, Haier Zhijia Recycling Interconnection Factory was completed and put into operation in Laixi, Qingdao, with an annual dismantling capacity of 3 million units. Shijiazhuang city has perfected the comprehensive utilization system of renewable resources by the mode of "government+property+third party"; Hunan will include the recycling outlets of renewable resources such as waste household appliances into the construction of a convenient living circle for a quarter of an hour; Gree, Changhong and other home appliance companies actively adopt the "internet plus Recycling" method to provide professional old machine recycling services …

Insiders pointed out that with the increase in the number of places to promote the implementation of the old-for-new policy, it will drive the government, enterprises, platforms and other forces to join the field of recycling, and work together to improve the construction of the recycling network of used household appliances, so that consumers are "easier to get rid of the old and more willing to get new ones".

Hong Kong Book Fair: A Carnival for Common People to Read.

    Hong Kong Book Fair: A Carnival for Common People to Read.

  The special status of Hong Kong has made the sales characteristics of Hong Kong’s book industry, which can’t be copied by mainland or overseas book industry.

  Our reporter/Chen Xiaoping

  On July 21st, when Typhoon No.3 "Candu" formed in the South China Sea, the 21st Hong Kong Book Fair, which lasted for one week, kicked off at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center in Victoria Harbour. The coming typhoon has not stopped Hong Kong people’s great enthusiasm for participation. On the overpass leading to the Convention and Exhibition Center in Central Square, Hong Kong people who came to buy books with carts and suitcases jostled each other. Security guards need to take measures to restrict the release, so as to control the flow of people at any time and maintain order.

  From the 200,000-person attendance of the first book fair in 1990 to the 920,000-person attendance this year, the annual attendance of the Hong Kong Book Fair has been hitting a new high-today, almost one in every seven Hong Kong people goes to the book fair-although this has made the Hong Kong Book Fair a "fair" for books. The Hong Kong Trade Development Council has made this book business stronger and stronger, and such a lively scene is unmatched by Beijing, Shanghai and Chengdu book fairs.

  Visit book fairs and buy books once a year.

  From the Wan Chai subway station to the Convention and Exhibition Center, there are all kinds of publishers’ advertisements, book exhibition posters and flags. At the entrance to the venue, people have to wait for the people in front to fully enter the exhibition before releasing the next batch of visitors. It is said that the longest time, the queue was one kilometer, and citizens had to wait for more than 40 minutes to enter the venue.

  "I really don’t know what supports the enthusiasm of Hong Kong people to visit the book fair," said a Beijing reporter who participated in the Hong Kong book fair for the first time. Seeing such a scene makes people dizzy, and if the goal of buying books is not clear, it is very painful to find a book in the book fair, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

  Including Chinese and English booksellers (bookstores) across the Taiwan Strait and three places, as well as foreign language books from many countries, all publishing houses and bookstores directly enter the venue to set up booths to sell books. Just like the temple fair in Beijing, there are constant shouting and selling in the venue, and there are even booths selling books with banners of "20% off for one book, 30% off for six books and 6.5% off for ten books".

  On the 22nd, the second day of the book fair, the storm, accompanied by lightning, did not stop Hong Kong people from buying books at the book fair. From time to time, I see book buyers with suitcases, and most of them are mainstream bestsellers. Teenagers prefer "light novels", while the elderly prefer health books. The so-called "light novel" refers to the combination of novels and cartoons. It is a kind of entertaining literary book, which tells stories with cartoons, pays attention to pictures and has shots, and is mostly imported from Japan.

  During the summer vacation, the main force during the day is middle school students, and some "light novels" are even sold in bundles. In the evening, the age of book buyers goes up. After dinner on Friday, office workers become the main force of the book fair. On the weekend, married with children’s parent-child group appears at the book fair, and Hong Kong people enjoy the seven-day book carnival as a holiday.

  It has been 21 years since the Hong Kong Book Fair. Visiting the book fair in these seven days has become an annual habit of Hong Kong people. Many young people don’t usually visit bookstores to buy books. They will save a sum of money to buy books at the annual book fair, and even compare with friends.

  For this phenomenon, Ma Jiahui, a Hong Kong cultural person, explained: "This is a tragedy in Hong Kong. In Hong Kong, there is not even a decent bookstore, and the usual pace of life is very tight. Ordinary people read and buy books less frequently."

  Hong Kong people advocate fast food culture, and newspapers and periodicals are the main reading contents of the citizens. Young people in Hong Kong usually don’t like reading, and they are not encouraged to read. They don’t know which bookstore to buy books. Therefore, as Ma Jiahui said, if there is no book fair, young people in Hong Kong may not buy books 365 days a year.

  Hong Kong Commercial Press is a publishing house with the largest retail bookstore in Hong Kong. It has 21 bookstores in Hong Kong and Macao, and also has a professional English law bookstore. The annual turnover of the whole bookstore is 600 million Hong Kong dollars. However, in charge of such a leading enterprise in the book industry in Hong Kong, managing director Lu Guo also lamented that the book market was difficult to do. Although the flagship store of Hong Kong Commercial Press in Tsim Sha Tsui is one of the bookstores that mainland scholars like to visit in Hong Kong, the bookstore has suffered the fate of moving three times in five years because of the high rent and the owner’s failure to renew the contract.

  Ma Jiahui said that Hong Kong bookstores were all killed by real estate developers.

  Readers inside and outside the book fair

  In February, 1923, Sun Yat-sen gave a speech at the University of Hong Kong, saying that his thought originated in Hong Kong. But four years later, when Lu Xun went to Hong Kong to give a speech, a group of literary youths complained to Lu Xun that Hong Kong was a "desert area" ideologically, and the statement that Hong Kong was a "cultural desert" was widely spread.

  All along, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council has been organizing book fairs with the idea and concept of business management. From asking stars to take the lead in reading and writing books as a marketing tool, to "the second kind of books and periodicals" with pornographic and violent content becoming the focus of the book fair, and then to the invasion of the tender model photo album into the book fair, which also makes the negative news about the book fair continue every year, and the book fair also expands constantly every year, with the increase of exhibition halls, booths and sales figures of books.

  In 2005, Fred Lam, the new president of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, proposed that the Hong Kong Book Fair should pay equal attention to culture and commerce. Fred Lam suggested that the TDC is a commercial organization, not a cultural organization, and it is not good at doing cultural things. "We should find excellent cultural institutions and groups in Hong Kong to do this.". Later, they hired the Hong Kong Arts Development Council, Ming Pao Group, Asia Weekly and other cultural organizations as staff officers, and finally decided to cooperate with Asia Weekly to invite writers and cultural celebrities from three places across the Taiwan Straits to give lectures at the book fair.

  This year’s book fair also opened the "Hong Kong Writers’ Tour 2010" exhibition area for the first time to promote outstanding local writers in Hong Kong, and followed the example of Frankfurt Book Fair to join the works recitation.

  This year’s book fair invited more than 90 writers to participate in more than 270 cultural and outreach activities. Among them, invited lecturers from the Mainland include Feng Jicai, He Weifang, Pan Shiyi, Zhang Yihe and Han Han. In addition, the speakers of the "Famous Lectures" include Zhou Guangqian, Ge Liang and Lin Peili from Hongkong, Chen Wenxi, Liu Kexiang, Lan Bozhou and Tang Nuo from Taiwan Province, jade y. chen living in Germany and Du Weiming from the United States.

  In a lecture hall with less than 200 people, Liang Wendao, a Hong Kong writer, is sharing his creative experience with readers. The audience included old people with white hair, peers from Liang Wendao, and more young people, many of whom came from Guangdong to attend the Hong Kong Book Fair.

  A local young man in Hong Kong, wearing glasses, T-shirt shorts and a pair of straw flip-flops on his feet, listened carefully and took notes on a single piece of paper. It can be seen that young people like Liang Wendao very much, and listen to the lectures carefully.

  Liang Wendao said that the characteristic of Hong Kong writers is to do their own things silently and write their own books. It seems that the readers in Hong Kong are the same.

  But more readers are actually outside the book fair. "I haven’t been to the book fair for a long time. My writing doesn’t need to deal with modern people, but is related to the dead." On the other end of the phone, Huang Canran, a Hong Kong poet and translator, told China Newsweek. He goes to work at five o’clock every afternoon and writes in the early hours of the morning. For him, in this busy morning, the day has just ended.

  In Hongkong, there is also a group of English-reading people. No one has counted the size of this group, but Ma Jiahui told a story: once he made an appointment for a book review and introduced the Chinese version of Said’s books on music. Later, his friend in the Hong Kong Commercial Press told him that the bookstore kept the original English version of the book for one year and hardly sold a few copies. However, after the book review, the original English version sold 20 copies within a week, while the Chinese translation only sold a few more.

  Hong Kong books export to domestic market.

  Since 2003, when the mainland opened free travel for tourists to visit Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Book Fair began to welcome mainland readers. Subsequently, the Hong Kong Book Fair set up a "visiting channel", through which you can get preferential ticket purchase. Through these measures, the organizers attract mainland readers to buy books in Hong Kong. According to the statistics of the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, the number of people who entered the 20th Hong Kong Book Fair through the "visiting channel" reached 10,000 last year, and the organizers thought that a considerable number of mainland tourists should follow Hong Kong friends or queue up for admission. In fact, the number of people from the mainland who went to the Hong Kong Book Fair was far more than that.

  "Export to domestic market" is one of the characteristics of Hong Kong books. Most of the authors of Chinese works in Hong Kong, especially academic works, come from mainland scholars, and these academic works have returned to the mainland, which has formed a big market, except for local and overseas research institutions. Scholars’ "export" and works’ "domestic sales" are an intriguing structure of the Hong Kong book market.

  The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press, which has published the works of mainland scholars such as How the Red Sun Rises: The ins and outs of Yan ‘an Rectification Movement by Gao Hua, a professor of history at Nanjing University, and Xu Qingquan, deputy editor-in-chief of Yanhuang Chunqiu, the case of Ding Ling and Chen Qixia’s "anti-Party clique", has gathered a group of excellent mainland scholars’ resources. This university publishing house, which aims at "promoting Chinese and Western cultures and spreading ancient and modern knowledge", is a non-profit academic publishing institution. In the past 30 years, it has published a large number of academic works in both Chinese and English, with authors ranging from Qian Mu and Xu Zhongyue to William Theodore de Bary and Needham. Its topics span from traditional China culture to contemporary China studies, and it has established a stable global sales channel.

  Gan Qi, president of The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press, told China Newsweek that the press followed the anonymous review system of western university press, and the manuscripts of academic works provided by scholars all over the world must be anonymously reviewed by at least two experts in the industry and submitted to the Academic Books Editorial Committee for final approval before they can be accepted for publication or published after being revised by the author. The editorial department, reviewers and academic committees are integrated to ensure that the manuscript has new ideas or new materials, and in short, it has promoted and contributed on the basis of research in the same field. It is under the guarantee of this system that the publications of this society can maintain the content quality and diversified positions for a long time, which has stimulated the academic thoughts in the mainland.

  The booths of The Chinese University of Hong Kong Press, Hong Kong Oxford University Press, Hong Kong Commercial Press and Hong Kong Sanlian Bookstore are still the favorite bookstall for mainland readers. ★

Gree air conditioning doesn’t brag, Dong Mingzhu doesn’t brag.

Compared with previous years, this year’s 618 is still a lot of excitement. As the first mega-event promotion node after the lifting of the epidemic control, it is also the 20th anniversary of the founding of JD.COM. At the party on June 18th, the new CEO of JD.COM, Xu Ran, Chairman of Gree Electric, Dong Mingzhu and others all attended.

At the party, Dong Mingzhu also announced that Gree Electric will cooperate with JD.COM in all categories, and strive to bring better products to users. At the party, Dong Mingzhu, as always, advertised his products:"Gree has been striving to provide better products. After all, only Gree’s air conditioners in the world don’t blow people."

Source: Gree

When it comes to air conditioning, the best-selling brands in everyone’s impression are traditional white goods manufacturers such as Gree, Midea and TCL, among which Gree is famous for focusing on the air conditioning market. It is estimated that many people still remember the advertising words "Gree, master the core technology".

There is a saying that Gree air conditioners do sell well. In JD.COM’s air conditioner sales list, Gree is the manufacturer with the most products in the top ten, and only two air conditioners with a price of more than 3,000 yuan are Gree. In Tmall’s hot-selling list, Gree is also on the list.

What did Dong Mingzhu say: "Gree air conditioners don’t blow people"? Does Gree really rely on this to win the recognition of users?

Air conditioning doesn’t blow people, what black technology?

For Xiao Lei, who lives in the south, air conditioning is a life-saving tool in summer. Since April in Guangzhou, the temperature may be higher than 30 degrees, and in the next six months, it is basically normal for the highest temperature to exceed 30 degrees. It can be said that the time of blowing air conditioning is close to half a year.

Friends who often blow air conditioners know that although the air conditioner is good, it is uncomfortable to blow it too much, especially when the air outlet of the air conditioner is facing you. Even in hot summer, as long as the operation of the air conditioner is still normal, you will start looking for the air conditioner in less than 10 minutes to see if you can change the wind direction of the air conditioner and stop blowing it on your head.

The cold air of air conditioner blowing directly on the human body will cause the somatosensory temperature to drop rapidly, and it only takes a short time for you to feel the coldness like winter in summer. Many netizens even bluntly said that direct air-conditioning blowing will give them headaches. Sometimes they forget to adjust the air-conditioning wind direction before going to bed, and get up the next day with a headache and a cold.

Gree’s propaganda really poked a lot of people’s pain points. After all, if you can make yourself sleep more comfortably at the same price, why not?

Generally speaking, the design of "not blowing people" is called "soft wind" in the industry, and there are many brands promoting the function of soft wind. Xiaomi, TCL and other brands all have products featuring the function of "soft wind". Generally speaking, it is realized by the design of soft wind plate and upper blowing. As long as the air duct is changed, the demand of "air conditioning does not blow people" can be easily realized.

However,What Dong Mingzhu wants to say is obviously more than this. What she said "air conditioning doesn’t blow people" may be more a summary of Gree air conditioning’s technical strength, product design and user demand.Technically speaking, the long-term cold air blowing directly is largely due to the lack of refrigeration capacity of air conditioners, which leads to the inability to cool the room quickly and has to extend the cooling time.

Source: VEER

The "core technology" that Gree has been promoting actually refers to Gree’s air conditioning compressor technology. As the core of air conditioning, the performance of the compressor itself directly determines the cooling and heating effects of air conditioning. In some real-life tests, Gree’s air conditioners are indeed among the best in cooling speed.

Simply put, just let the room reach the set temperature in a short time, then the air conditioner can enter the maintenance mode with low power consumption, and only need to keep the room temperature with low air volume. If the cold wind blows for a short time, it will naturally not give people a strong coolness, which coincides with the requirement of "not blowing people".

More efficient air-conditioning compressor, with the design of flexible air plate and upper air outlet, makes Gree air-conditioning give users a better experience when cooling. Perhaps this is what Dong Mingzhu said, "Only Gree’s air conditioners don’t blow people", and behind it is also the confidence in Gree’s technology and products.

However, whether Gree air conditioners sell well is because they don’t blow people, I’m afraid there is still a question mark.

Which air conditioners are more popular in this 618?

Writing here, Xiao Lei can’t help wondering, what are the most popular air conditioners in 618? What are the functions of the new air conditioner now? Judging from the total sales list of JD.COM, the top three are Gree, Xiaomi and Midea, and their prices are all below 3,000 yuan, all of which are 1.5-horse hanging air conditioners.

Source: JD.COM

Judging from the total sales record of the list, Gree and Xiaomi are cliff-leading, both of which have sold more than 200,000 pieces. It is not an exaggeration to say that these two products are the most popular air conditioners of 618. On the product introduction page,After a brief summary, Xiao Lei found that the selling points of the two are actually very similar: silence, rapid refrigeration, frequency conversion and power saving, and self-cleaning..

The biggest difference between the two is that Xiaomi, who has been deeply involved in the field of smart home appliances, has added a remote Zhilian function to his air conditioner, which can be remotely controlled through apps such as Mijia, which is much more convenient than traditional air conditioners, even if he forgets to turn off the air conditioner when going out, he can also remotely operate it. Gree, on the other hand, doesn’t support it, and it needs the help of an additional infrared remote control gateway.

Generally speaking, the functions of the two air conditioners are very similar. In the past two years, the internal and external machines with special functions were self-cleaning. Now, they have become the standard of two thousand yuan air conditioners, which makes people feel a little overwhelmed by the air conditioning industry. Moreover, in Internet home appliance brands, intelligent interconnection has become a standard product, but traditional home appliance manufacturers often only carry intelligent interconnection systems on high-end product lines.

Looking at other products in the list, the functions are basically the same, and the main selling points are very similar. As for the biggest reason to guide users to make choices, I am afraid it is price and brand power. In terms of price, it can be seen that except Gree, most of the hot-selling air conditioners are between 2,000 and 3,000 yuan, while Xiaomi is the cheapest 1.5 air conditioners on the list with a bottom of 1,879 yuan.

Basically, at present, when users choose air conditioners, they still value power saving, power, durability, etc., and have low requirements for some new functions.Of course, there are also some products with "new functions" in the list. For example, Haier’s Jingyue series is equipped with intelligent light sense sleep protection function, which will automatically adjust the buzzer and indicator brightness of the air conditioner after turning off the lights to ensure that the user’s sleep is not disturbed.

Source: JD.COM

From the actual experience, it may be a function that is better than nothing for most people, but it is of great significance to some sensitive friends with poor sleep quality. In addition, in this year’s air-conditioning market, there are many more products advertised with functions such as "fresh air" and "plasma sterilization", and some high-end users will also consider the extra skills of air-conditioning.

In the high-end air-conditioning market, air-conditioning is no longer a simple appliance for cooling and heating. Some users also hope that it can also serve as a new fan, air purifier and other products to keep indoor air clean. The pursuit of health by users is becoming a new direction in the high-end air-conditioning market.

In addition, intelligent voice control, modular customization and other functions have begun to appear one after another. In the high-end market, these new designs and functions are good ways to attract users.

However, on the whole, most manufacturers are still doing "icing on the cake" before there is a big change in the air-conditioning market today. And in most cases, a 2000-3000 yuan on-hook can meet the cooling/heating needs of the room. As for those extra functions, to be honest, it is not as attractive as reducing the price in 500 yuan.

Experts’ Interpretation of the Fourth Meeting of the Central Financial and Economic Committee

  (CCTV Finance "Economic Information Network")Yesterday, the Central Financial and Economic Committee held its fourth meeting to study the issues of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods, effectively reducing the logistics cost of the whole society. How to promote a new round of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods? How to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society?

  The meeting stressed that the implementation of large-scale equipment renewal and trade-in of consumer goods will effectively promote investment and consumption, which will benefit both the present and the long-term. It is necessary to lay a good combination of policies, promote the continuous increase in the proportion of advanced production capacity, and more high-quality durable consumer goods will enter residents’ lives.

  High-end intelligent green has become the focus of a new round of large-scale equipment update.

  Zhu Min, Director of the Institute of Informatization and Industrialization Integration of China Information and Communication Research Institute:A new round of technological transformation and equipment renewal will help accelerate the large-scale promotion of intelligent manufacturing. Intelligent equipment and products such as CNC machine tools and industrial robots will also usher in new development opportunities and broad growth space, which will help accelerate the transformation and upgrading of key industries. High-end, intelligence, green and safety are the focus of future technological transformation and equipment renewal.

  Trade-in of consumer goods will stimulate market investment to better meet consumer demand.

  The meeting also pointed out that it is necessary to promote the upgrading and technological transformation of all kinds of production equipment and service equipment, encourage traditional consumer goods such as automobiles and household appliances to be replaced with old ones, and promote the replacement of durable consumer goods with old ones. Promote large-scale recycling and strengthen the development of the "trade-in+recycling" logistics system and new model. 

  Yi Shaohua, Director of Market Circulation and Consumption Research Office of national academy of economic strategy:The consumption of residents in our country is in the stage of upgrading the quality in the field of physical consumption, so the trade-in of consumer goods can not only stimulate market investment, but also better meet the potential consumption demand of residents.

  Reducing cost and increasing efficiency of logistics industry will promote the formation of a unified national market

  In addition, the meeting stressed that reducing the logistics cost of the whole society is an important measure to improve the efficiency of economic operation. Logistics is the "tendon" of the real economy, which connects production and consumption, domestic trade and foreign trade. It is necessary to effectively reduce the logistics cost of the whole society, enhance the core competitiveness of the industry and improve the efficiency of economic operation.

  Professor Ma Hong, Department of Economics, Tsinghua University Institute of Economics and Management:Reducing costs and increasing efficiency of the logistics industry is conducive to promoting the smooth flow of commodity factor resources in a wider range, promoting industrial structure adjustment and regional coordinated development. The upstream and downstream of the industrial chain can better optimize the layout according to regional endowments and institutional conditions, and promote agglomeration and economies of scale, as well as the formation of intelligence and digitalization; Promoting the integration of industries will also promote the formation of a unified national market and improve the overall operational efficiency of the national economy.
