雀巢公司在华专利布局态势分析

Patent Layout Analysis of Switzerland Nestlé in China

作为全球最大的食品集团,雀巢公司非常注重在华专利布局。自1985年中国第一部专利法颁布施行以来,25年间雀巢累计在华申请了千余件专利,在食品领域的专利布局态势端倪可现。民以食为天,食以安为先,在食品安全日益凸显重要的今天,雀巢的上述技术研发及相关专利的布局态势为国内食品企业的生存发展提供了可借鉴的榜样。当前,在国家知识产权战略如火如荼地实施的背景下,国内食品企业应抓住有利时机,通过学习汲取雀巢的宝贵经验,不仅应在专利数量上迈上新台阶,更应在专利质量上求得新突破,从而最终提升我国食品产业的科技水平。
