Agropages recently made an investigation on patent application status of China’s agrochemical market, which showed that the patent quantities applied by multinational companies are much larger than those by China’s domestic companies. Those patents include active substances, processing lines and formulations. As part of its intangible assets, patents’ quantity and value are the hallmarks of technical renovation and competency for a company. Patent application is already a powerful weapon for multinational company to maintain its competitive edge.
