The Qiqihar Municipal Market Supervision Administration in Heilongjiang Province recently held its 2026 Intellectual Property Business Skills Competition for regulatory departments across the city. A total of 32 business professionals from county and district-level market supervision bureaus took part in the event.

The competition was closely aligned with the practical demands of intellectual property work, focusing on core areas such as trademark registration management, patent commercialization, open patent licensing, cultivation of high-value invention patents, and protection of geographical indication products. It served as a comprehensive assessment of grassroots staff capabilities in theoretical knowledge, case analysis, and practical application.

To ensure the effectiveness of the competition, the Qiqihar Market Supervision Administration distributed a question bank in advance, helping IP management staff consolidate key knowledge points and address skill gaps. During the contest, participants strictly followed examination rules, carefully reviewed each question, and completed all tasks within the allotted time, demonstrating solid theoretical foundations, a meticulous work ethic, and a positive professional spirit.

The competition awards first, second, and third prizes, with results to be announced across the city's market supervision system. Guided by the principle of "promoting learning, training, and performance through competition," the event served as both a rigorous test of professional capability and a comprehensive training exercise.

Competitors engaged in direct comparison of skills, which helped identify weaknesses in grassroots intellectual property work. The event also established a citywide platform for professional exchange, enabling participants from different counties and districts to learn from one another and complement each other's strengths.

Looking ahead, the Qiqihar Market Supervision Administration will leverage this competition as a springboard to deepen IP business training, continuously enhance the professional competence of staff throughout the municipal regulatory system, and guide IP professionals to translate their learning into concrete actions that serve businesses and strengthen IP protection. The administration remains committed to advancing key IP initiatives and providing solid intellectual property support for the city's high-quality economic development.
