The 15th China International Patent Fair (hereinafter referred to as the “Fair”), hosted by China National Intellectual Property Administration, recently opened in Wuxi. At the opening ceremony, the 26th China Patent Gold Award and China Design Gold Award were presented.

As China’s premier exhibition dedicated to intellectual property, the Fair is recognized for its high-level participation, strong professional focus and far-reaching influence. Under the theme “Patents Bridge Innovation, Commercialization Unlocks Value”, this year’s Fair featured eight exhibition zones, covering China Patent Award winners, achievements in patent-intensive industries, and the application and commercialization of artificial intelligence. More than 40 supporting events were also held alongside the exhibition. This year’s Fair placed an even greater emphasis on commercial transactions. Dedicated platforms for patented technology roadshows and business negotiations were set up, alongside a range of activities, including commercialization competitions, industry matchmaking, financial services, and supply-and-demand matching through IP commercialization platforms. These initiatives were designed to shift the Fair’s focus beyond showcasing innovations toward facilitating partnerships, enabling transactions and accelerating the commercialization of patented technologies.

Wuxi organized four of the exhibition zones, including those dedicated to achievements in patent-intensive industries and design-driven living. A large number of leading companies participated, representing established sectors such as integrated circuits, biomedicine, new energy and high-end equipment, as well as emerging industries such as embodied intelligence and commercial spaceflight. They showcased high-value patented technologies and innovations across key links of their respective industrial chains.
