Hardware stainless steel industry has been granted more than 800 patents

The reporter of this newspaper was informed yesterday that between 2003 and 2009, the hardware and stainless steel industry in Xinhui District applied for over 1,700 product patents and was authorized more than 800 pieces. The Xinhui District government and the science and technology department vigorously promoted independent innovation, carefully created a public platform for the hardware and stainless steel products industry, and promoted the optimization and upgrading of the hardware stainless steel industry. The total industrial output value of the industry above this scale reached 19.276 billion yuan in 2009.

Hardware stainless steel industry is one of Xinhui's pillar industries. There are 832 hardware stainless steel enterprises in the region and 315 enterprises above designated size. Xinhui is the “China Stainless Steel Products Production Base” and Siqian Town is a specialized metal stainless steel town in Guangdong Province. Xinhui Hardware & Stainless Steel Industrial Clusters has become an industrial cluster upgrade demonstration area in Guangdong Province.

At the beginning of this century, Xinhui hardware and stainless steel products companies mostly rely on OEM production and sample processing, resulting in a lack of overall competitiveness in the industry. In recent years, the district party committee, district government and science and technology department have vigorously promoted independent innovation. With the concept of “government build platform and platform service enterprise”, the company has meticulously set up a public platform for the hardware stainless steel products industry to promote the upgrading and development of Xinhui hardware stainless steel industry.

First, build industry protection associations. The Metal Stainless Steel Products Industry Association was established to establish itself as a pilot unit of the provincial industry association's intellectual property protection and self-discipline mechanism, and the intellectual property protection of hardware stainless steel products was mainly strengthened. The Intellectual Property Service Center of the Pre-Technology Innovation Center came into being.

The second is to build a public innovation platform. In 2004, with the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the company established a hardware and stainless steel industry technology innovation center in Siqian Town, which provides a full range of product R&D, internal management, marketing, information collection, intellectual property protection, quality inspection, and technical training. Service. The company established the former hardware stainless steel technology innovation network to provide technical support for hardware stainless steel enterprises.

The third is to build a cooperation platform for production, education and research. Under the promotion of the science and technology department, the Xinhui District Government has signed comprehensive scientific and technological cooperation agreements with four institutions including South China University of Technology, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, Wuyi University, and established four colleges and universities in science and technology innovation centers, establishing relationships with hardware stainless steel. One engineering research and development center and one technological innovation center provide talents and technical resources for enterprise technological innovation. In recent years, hardware and stainless steel companies have undertaken 24 provincial and municipal science and technology projects and have received over 3 million special support funds from provinces and cities.
