The number of valid invention patents on the Chinese mainland has exceeded 3 mln, with a rising proportion in the field of digital technologies, the National Intellectual Property Administration said. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.

"As of September, there were over 3.15 mln valid invention patents held on the Chinese mainland", – said Ge Shu, an official with the administration.

More than 30% of the Chinese patents belonged to strategic emerging industries, such as new energy vehicles, digital creativity, and high-end equipment manufacturing, and 13% have a patent term of over 10 years, according to the official.

As of July, 326,000 Chinese enterprises were holding 2.09 mln valid invention patents.
