On the afternoon of 31 July 2026, the XJTLU Intellectual Property Information Service Centre (XJTLU-IPISC), upon the invitation of GN (Beijing) New Materials Technology Co., Ltd., delivered an online training session entitled Intellectual Property Empowerment in Materials R&D for the company’s R&D personnel.
Founded in 2015, GN (Beijing) New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. is the first independent technology incubation and innovation platform established by a research institute under China Energy Investment Corporation. Guided by its mission of “Leading Low-Carbon Life through Advanced New Materials”, the company strives to become a world-class supplier of advanced coal-based materials. It focuses on technology transfer and high-end application development in the field of advanced materials, and provides integrated solutions for sectors including lightweight aerospace transportation equipment, plastic-for-steel mechanical equipment, high-performance marine equipment, and low-carbon new energy equipment.
Tailored to practical R&D scenarios in the materials industry, this training curriculum was designed to address the enterprise’s actual demands in patent application, patent mining and patent analysis. Oriented toward practical operation and problem-solving, the training aims to strengthen the IP awareness and enhance the patent professional capabilities of R&D staff, building a solid intellectual property protection barrier for the enterprise’s core technologies. Q&A and interactive communication sessions were arranged after the training. Participants actively shared insights based on their daily R&D work, leading to fruitful training outcomes.
The management team of GN (Beijing) New Materials Technology commented that the training was highly targeted and practically applicable, closely aligning with the enterprise’s R&D realities. It effectively addressed the key difficulties and confusions encountered by the R&D team in patent work, fully demonstrating the professional expertise of the university’s public intellectual property service platform. Meanwhile, participating R&D staff noted that the course content was practical and down-to-earth, with well-selected cases tailored to the technical characteristics of the materials industry. The training offered strong guidance for them to standardize patent thinking and improve the protection capacity of technical achievements, bringing substantial gains to all participants.
Moving forward, XJTLU-IPISC will continue to provide professional intellectual property and literature information services for research-oriented enterprises. The centre will further deepen industry-university cooperation in patent retrieval and analysis, scientific literature support, and R&D intelligence acquisition. Leveraging the university’s high-quality data resources and professional service capabilities, XJTLU-IPISC will empower enterprise R&D and innovation, and contribute to the in-depth integration of industry, university and research as well as high-quality industrial development.
