Now, all walks of life in our country there are varying degrees of patent awareness is not strong, so the cable industry, in recent years, "going out" more and more strong, the cable manufacturers have also made the "going out" strategy and tactics, but because the patent consciousness is not strong, let the cable manufacturer Chinese in international market competition, suffer. Besides, can truly realize the "going out" enterprise accounting is not high, the main reason is that China's cable production enterprises long-term hovering in the low-end market competition, the high-end identity has been difficult to enter the international market, so at present even for cable has entered the international market for the production of enterprises, generally give up foreign high-end market.

But even so, in the foreign market, the competitiveness of Chinese cable is also greatly reduced. On the one hand, the local protectionism is serious. On the other hand, the monopolization is monopolized by the name of patent protection. Especially for Chinese enterprises entering the US market, the biggest challenge is not the visible trade barriers, but the non-tariff barriers on the legal level, especially the litigation risks of intellectual property. Therefore, the domestic cable companies in the global market, the use of intellectual property to build core competitiveness and strengthen the awareness of intellectual property protection has become a pressing problem for domestic enterprises.

In addition, the patent and innovation as the core competitiveness of the specific performance of cable manufacturing enterprises, domestic wire and cable production enterprises have also exposed the serious patent awareness is not strong, compared with the developed countries, the quantity and quality of China's cable industry patents appear obvious disadvantages, and the conversion rate of the patent is amazing low. According to the statistics, the number of patents in China is 14:100 compared with that of the developed countries. In addition, the conversion rate of patent results in China is about 20%, and the rate of patent industrialization is about 5%, while the conversion rate of patent in developed countries can reach about 80%. The implementation rate of patent technology transfer in China, that is, the ratio of the number of national patent technology transfer contracts to the number of authorized patents in the country, is only 0.29%, which is far from the implementation rate of 5% in developed countries.
