夏目健一郎先生强调，以人工智能、元宇宙、物联网等为代表的前沿技术持续推动着经济和社会结构变革, 深刻影响着我们生活的方方面面。产权组织统计数据显示，在过去五年中，与数字相关的创新增长速度比所有其他专利类别快170%，这表明知识产权制度比以往任何时候都更加重要，是发展和增长的关键驱动力。然而，他也指出，这些新技术增加了知识产权的复杂性，促使产权组织为知识产权和前沿技术领域的未来工作制定了明确的计划，为成员国和创新者提供实用的工具和项目。产权组织知识产权和前沿技术对话会已进入第四个年头，巩固了产权组织作为讨论前沿技术和知识产权新问题的主要全球论坛的地位，将成员国、知识产权主管机构、企业、知识产权专业人员和民间社团聚集在一起。
Mr. Natsume highlighted that cutting-edge innovation technologies like Artificial Intelligence, the metaverse, and the Internet of Things are driving continuous economic and social transformation, profoundly impacting every aspect of our lives. According to WIPO data, digital-related innovation has seen a growth rate 170% faster than all other patent categories in the past five years, underscoring the increasing importance of the intellectual property (IP) system as a key driver of development and growth. However, he also pointed out that these new technologies add complexity to IP rights, prompting WIPO to establish clear plans for future work in the field of IP and Frontier Technologies, providing practical tools and projects for member countries and innovators. The WIPO Conversation, now in its fourth year, has solidified WIPO’s position as the primary global forum for discussing emerging issues surrounding frontier technologies and IP, bringing together member states, IP offices, enterprises, IP professionals, and civil society.

In her address, Ms. Liu commended WIPO’s Medium-Term Strategic Plan (MTSP) 2022-2026 for its achievements in China. The plan’s pillars, focusing on explaining the potential of intellectual property, partnership, providing high-quality IP services, and making IP as powerful policy tools have significantly elevated China’s international standing. As an extension of WIPO in China, the WOC remains committed to collaborating closely with all relevant Chinese stakeholders and will continue supporting Chinese users, particularly those from the Greater Bay Area, in leveraging WIPO’s global IP services.
