On Patent Analysis Of Energy-efficient Vehicles In China

With the rapid development of the auto industry, global energy crisis and environmentalproblems become serious, the development of fuel-efficient cars has caused the great attentionall over the world. The progress of new energy vehicles has become the current effective keyto solve the energy crisis and environmental problems. Fuel-efficient cars can replacetraditional automobile transportation function and also help reduce the pollution to theenvironment in a certain extent. Most countries have step up money and technicists in the keytechnology of fuel-efficient cars including engine, chassis, body shape technology and batterytechnology, which the purpose is to invent new technology of beneficial to humandevelopment.After the auto industry of China has step in the international market, the cooperation ofChina and other countries become more and more closely but more challenges and the sametime. The international market competition is increasingly intense, many developed countriesand enterprises tend to protect their own energy saving technology. So the best way to protectthemselves is to make full use of intellectual property law. Patents as an important part of theintellectual property rights, not only contains more than90%of the technical information, butalso set the law, technology and data as a whole part. It also has the characteristics ofexclusive, regional, timeliness and priority. Based on a patent information analysis in the fieldof technology, we can gain insight into the background and current situation of thedevelopment in the field of technology. On the basis of the existing data and patentinformation, we can also grasp competitors’ technology development route. According to thenumber of technical and inventors, list a chart, on which we can see the fuel-efficient carsdevelop pattern and competitor research, for the enterprise to provide powerful basis.This paper mainly analyzes the fuel-efficient vehicles of the patent technology in China through themethod of patent map. Through patent map visualization expression form, the patent information offuel-efficient vehicles and data would be observed clearly through the form of chart, simplifycomplex information, which contains certain powers of persuasion. Most of the time, patentmap contains patent technology map, patent management map and patent rights map inprincipal. Patent technology map analysis contains patent abstracts, patent technologycategory, patent technology districts, patent technology development direction and so on,from which we can know the development status of fuel-efficient vehicles patent technology.Patent management map analysis contains patentee, patent inventor, the number of patentapplication, International Patent Classification code and so on, from which we can learn thetop enterprise or individual patent technology of fuel-efficient in China. Patent managementmap can also help the automotive enterprises analyze the developments of competitors. Patentrights map contains legal status, quote status of patent technology, from which we can learnthe legality of the existing fuel-efficient vehicles patent technology. We can also proposesome solutions or suggestions according to the development status of fuel-efficient vehicles in China.
