China Intellectual Property Index — Q3 2015

The number of granted China to U.S. patents increased 4% while the number of published China to U.S. patent applications decreased 2%.

The number of registered China to U.S. trademarks increased 45% and the number of new China to U.S. trademark applications increased 18%.

Overall the China Intellectual Property Index increased 10% from the previous quarter and 33% from the year before. All but one category of intellectual property increased. It will be interesting to see if the recent economic turmoil in the Chinese stock market will influence the Index in the future.
