Patent Week will start on Friday and last through next Thursday nationwide, with an online service portal as the main venue. The annual weeklong promotional event initiated by the National Intellectual Property Administration has been held for 11 years. Revolving around the theme of fostering high-quality patents and promoting high-quality development, this year's event will include a series of high-tech startup project roadshows, tech investment and trade fairs, as well as business matchmaking for commercialization of patented technologies.
