Abstract
The maintenance time of patents is one of the key indicators for evaluating the technological innovation capabilities of their owners. We analyzed the maintenance status of the patents which were granted by the State Intellectual Property Office of P.R. China (SIPO) in 1994. The results indicate that viewing only from the perspective of the maintenance time of the patents, the technological innovation capabilities of owners of patents received from home are obviously weaker than that of counterparts received from abroad. In addition, the technological innovation capabilities of enterprises are obviously stronger than those of other kind’s owners of patents.

Because utility models and designs can be granted without substantive examination, this book only involves patents.

Up to April 30, 2007, there are 3838 patents granted by SIPO with publication (granted) dates in 1994.

There is only 1 patent terminated by the declaration of abandonment, while 2921 were terminated for failure to pay maintenance fees. So the terminated patents mentioned hereinafter should mean the patents terminated for failure to pay maintenance fees unless there is a specific explanation, and the maintenance time of patents means the period from grant to termination for failure to pay maintenance fees.
