Blockchain 2019 patent application

1. Alibaba
IPR daily, an intellectual property media, recently released a report, which listed the number of blockchain invention patents published in the world from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019, among which China ranked first, accounting for 67% of patent applications. Alibaba ranked first with 322 patents, followed by Ping An of China, with 274 patents, Third, nchain has 241 patents.

2. Recently, the hottest investment is bitcoin. From financial tycoons to ordinary people, they are talking about the surge of bitcoin. Bitcoin is a kind of blockchain. I believe there are still many people who don't know much about blockchain, so today we will explain in detail what blockchain is? How to search blockchain technology patents? What is blockchain? More than 10000 years ago, human beings began to learn to use shells as an intermediary for exchanging materials, and later developed into currency. With the development of network, the circulation of digital currency has graally replaced the traditional currency, and now people's payment methods have undergone unprecedented changes. The emergence of encrypted electronic currencies such as bitcoin, Ethereum and litecoin has further prompted the whole financial system to face up to and start thinking about transformation. However, there is an important technical support behind the development of encrypted e-money which is not affected by the traditional financial system;; Block chain. Blockchain is a new application mode of distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanism, encryption algorithm and other computer technologies. The so-called consensus mechanism is a mathematical algorithm to establish trust and obtain interests between different nodes in the blockchain system. How to search blockchain technology patents Blockchain Revolution & sup1; A book has mentioned that blockchain is a public database, which records all transaction information and can effectively prevent tampering; It is a distributed system, which does not store on a specific server or node, but scattered in countless nodes on the network, each node only retains part of the information; It is a kind of consensus agreement, which follows a mechanism together. As the underlying technology behind cryptocurrency, including identity authentication, medical record preservation, market forecasting, asset trading, etc., blockchain is graally applied. To observe the patent applications related to global blockchain technology, the author suggests that you should refer to the definitions of block chain, distributed ledger and smart contract to expand your search conditions, rather than only limited to the patents using the word block chain. What is blockchain? How to search blockchain technology patents? If you have more questions about patent inquiry, you can continue to pay attention to Bajie intellectual property or contact us by telephone.

the definition of blockchain

in a narrow sense, blockchain is a kind of chained data structure that combines data blocks in a sequential way according to the time sequence, and it is a distributed account book that can not be tampered with and forged by means of cryptography

broadly speaking, blockchain technology uses blockchain data structure to verify and store data, uses distributed node consensus algorithm to generate and update data, and uses cryptography to ensure the security of data transmission and access It is a new distributed infrastructure and computing method to program and operate data by using intelligent contract composed of automated script code

there are many channels to learn blockchain

① you can buy some books related to blockchain, learn some knowledge related to blockchain, take notes in your spare time, and consult relevant information

② watch some videos of blockchain on the Internet, the contents of which are easy to understand, with relevant examples, It's also a very good way to learn

③ you can take part in some offline blockchain learning exchange meetings, or take part in some training courses, and some teachers will answer questions for you

to sum up,

all roads lead to Rome. There are many channels to learn blockchain, and the best one is suitable for you

4. With more and more blockchain technologies, more and more people apply for blockchain patents. However, in the process of applying for blockchain patent, there are more or less legal and practical obstacles. For example, to determine whether they are qualified for patent, to distinguish which are abstract concepts and can not apply for patent, and so on
however, blockchain technology is still in an open state, just like the Internet in the 1990s, which is open source. Anyone can use it, but they can apply for relevant patents instead of blockchain patents. European crowdfunding has created a new crowdfunding model combining blockchain, digital currency and real assets, which should enable us to apply for a patent.

5. All countries are seizing the patent of blockchain. There are still many blockchain applications in China, such as Alibaba, Tencent and Bank of China. Blockchain applications are very popular now. There is a SMIC blockchain service platform project initiated by Changsha high tech Zone, which is blockchain + public service mode, and enterprises are being recruited to join the chain.

6. Your adoption is the driving force of my answer.

7. Blockchain related patents can be applied for, but blockchain technology patents can not be applied for, and it is impossible to apply successfully, and it is impossible to be recognized by the public. Because blockchain is a technology, a shared technology
patent application for blockchain is not a good idea. It's unnecessary. But related patents can be applied. For example, the content publishing platform decent developed by using blockchain technology can apply for patents.

8. Alibaba Group Holding Co., Ltd., digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China, printing science and Technology Research Institute of the people's Bank of China and many other companies have applied. You can go to some patent inquiry websites to learn more

9. At present, 78% of the applications come from the United States and China, while South Korea accounts for only 8% and Japan for 3%. Many patent applications mainly focus on the logistics, hub and public services of blockchain. At present, this figure shows a doubling trend in the number of patent application documents in recent years, with 27 applications in 2013 and 258 applications in 2015, and 594 applications in 2016. Although patent applications in this field are mainly distributed in start-ups, in the past year, many newly established enterprises have begun to invest and develop patents in blockchain procts. Of course, enterprises in other fields have shown no weakness. MasterCard submitted a patent document for payment system based on blockchain technology in November 2017. Bank of America has submitted several applications for blockchain procts in the past few years, and Wal Mart, IBM, Goldman Sachs and Morgan are also on the list of patent applications. At present, the trend of accelerating the number of applications is an obvious effect of the development of the times. Nick spanos, CEO and creator of blockchain technology company, said that the patent war is just like the war after the outbreak of software technology in the late 1990's. A report published by Alix partners in September 2016 was also titled "patent race of blockchain", which wrote that this race will eventually sweep the future in the next round of competition between technology standards and those who own such technology procts. Andy Cadel of J.P. Morgan said that if he invests in some areas and applies for patents, it means that other people can't apply for patents on the same content. In December 2017, CNBC, the US financial broadcasting media, also reported that the patent competition for blockchain will soon begin, and both enterprises and indivials are seeking development for future interests. Nick Spangenberg, a prominent patent entrepreneur, says his company ipwe is trying to find resources to make money from the Innovative Patent world. Spangenburg said that this is a road to explore with curiosity. Nerds can't stand on this side. It will also be a road with breakthrough and innovation, and bring wealth at the same time. After all, it seems that everyone wants to get a piece of it here. Of course, it remains to be seen.
