HUAWEI Technologies Co and ZTE Corp were granted the most invention patents on Chinese mainland in 2012, the intellectual property body said.
Gan Shaoning, deputy director of the State Intellectual Property Office, said at a news briefing yesterday that China gave 2,734 invention patents to Huawei and 2,727 to ZTE last year.
A Shenzhen-based subsidiary of Taiwan's Foxconn ranked third, with 1,099 patents. China's automakers BYD and Chery were also among the top-10 company patent holders.
Eight of the top 10 are in the private sector, indicating robust innovation vitality of the country's private companies.
A total of 217,105 invention patents to domestic and overseas applicants were authorized in 2012, up 26.1 percent from the previous year, SIPO said.
Of the total invention patents, 143,847 were granted to domestic firms, up 28 percent.
However, Gan said China's invention patents are still behind foreign countries in areas such as optics, semiconductor, transportation, audio-visual technologies and medical and pharmaceutical technologies.
