看到这个消息，不知道是该高兴还是忧虑。 这几年祖国的科学发展简直是江山一片红，SCI 文章数量大幅上涨，现在连化学专利数量都全球第一了。看来，领导们的创新中国宏伟蓝图差不多提前实现了。真心希望那些专利中间垃圾专利的比例很低，否则，光申请费用都是很大的一笔开支。除非那个数字可以算进GDP，否则是没有其它益处的 sources: http://pubs.acs.org/cen/science/88/8802sci1.html http://www.cas.org/newsevents/releases/chinesepatents112309.html China Leads All Nations in Publication of Chemical Patents According to CAS, the World's Most Authoritative Publisher of Chemical Information Columbus, Ohio (November 23, 2009) - Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the global expert on chemical information, reports that China's patent office is now the world's leading producer of patent invention applications in chemistry. China trailed Japan's patent office, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for more than a decade, but passed the USPTO in 2005, WIPO in 2006, and exceeded Japan for the first time on a monthly basis in 2008. In 2009, China will record an entire year as the number one producer of chemical patents, and CAS projects that trend to continue. Chemistry is widely recognized as 'the central science,' according to Dr. Matthew Toussant, senior vice president of editorial operations at CAS. Chemical patents are a critical component to many industrial processes and scientific realms, including medicine and natural products, said Toussant. In fact, on average, 35 percent of new patent invention applications involve chemical substances. CAS has been recording the phenomenal growth of patent documents in the last decade, with the number of chemistry-related patent publications by the USPTO and WIPO growing by more than 500 percent, said Christine McCue, vice president of marketing at CAS. Meanwhile, Chinese invention applications increased by nearly 1,400 percent, with much of that growth taking place in the pharmaceutical sector. More than half of the Chinese patent applications during this period were from inventors within China, which surely indicates that Chinese scientists now also recognize the importance of monetizing research discoveries. Hundreds of CAS scientists, aided by state-of-the-art technology, identify and record the chemistry obscured in patents that standard search engines cannot locate. Proprietary technology systems developed by CAS enable scientists working around the world to analyze patents from 60 global patent authorities. Patent documents meeting CAS selection criteria from nine major patent offices are available in CAS databases within two days of the patents' issuance, and are fully indexed in less than 27 days. CAS scientists add value to the data they collect, entering chemical names, a unique CAS Registry Number, literature references, property data, commercial availability, preparation details, spectra, and regulatory information from international sources into CAS databases.
