Challenges:
Indigenous Innovation Capacity still CHINA TORCH PROGRAM
Weaker
• Patent Preemption and Patent Barrier
– Advantage in technology monopoly by multinationals
– High-priced patent fee thus charged
• Independent Innovation Restricted
– Market dominancy by large corporation and multinationals hinder
the innovation and development of SMEs via
• Acquisition
• Branding (OEM)
– “Market for Technology” strategy not ideally realized as expected
• Reluctance of foreign-funded enterprises to disseminate technology
• JVs mostly involved in license manufacturing rather than product
development
