Duing the 11th Five Year Plan, 54 IPR laws, rules and documents were fomulated and amended; 82 policy measures have been released; SIPO received cumulative 4.3 million patent applications, representing 60% of all applications SIPO ever received. Some 1.46 million ones were inventions and 490,000 ones were granted, up 100% over the total of the previous 20 years.
