Innovated in China empowers the games of the young

The 31st FISU Summer World University Games (Chengdu Universiade) is in full swing,with young athletes from all over the world gathering in Chengdu to pursue their dreams. The Chengdu Universiade has also given China an opportunity to shows its technological innovation,and once again demonstrated its determination and confidence in strengthening IPR protection.

Original innovations keep popping up

Torch "Rong Huo", dancing robotic receptionists, and autonomous buses...a number of products are showing off their stunning functions at this grand event that attracts worldwide attention,adding smartness to this athletic event.

As an important symbol and a cultural carrier of the Chengdu Universiade,torch 'Rong Huo' conveys the "innovative,enterprising, practical and dedicated" spirit of the Games to people of the world.

"On top of leaning on proven innovations used at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games and the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, we have invoked advanced technologies such as optimized flow and systematically matched design to work out a truly integrated design focusing on the internal combustion system of the torch,"said Li Chunguang, one of the leaders of the torch development team from the No. 31 Institute under the Third Academy of China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC).Li elaborated that the team focused on catalytic combustion, flow and combustion simulation to upgrade the original technology, thus perfectly integrating the torch's dazzling shape and the flame's flowing effect, as an attempt to apply more aerospace technologies to the torch design. "We have submitted nearly 20 patent applications so far, including patents for invention and utility model," Li said.

Flexible figures are dancing with the rhyme. They are the "bipedal humanoid robots" developed by Mianyang Leju Robot Technology Co.,Ltd. (Leju Robot), which has assumed the reception duty of the Welcome Center in the Universiade Village.　

"Our robots can perform street dance and play soccer, and can turn its head at a large angle," A person in charge of Leju Robot told that the robot applied in the Universiade is China's first small bipedal robot capable of fast walking. Its high- ductility and high- torque composite steering gear has entered the leading ranks in China,and the gait algorithm for the bipedal robot has set new industry records.

During the Universiade, MOGO buses, driverless new energy buses,offer a green and low-carbon transportation experience. The buses are equipped with the "vehicle- roadcloud integrated" system independently developed by MOGO.ai. In addition to autonomous driving, this technology also enables connection of roadside base stations with the cloud,which helps efficiently handle the complex traffic conditions in the Universiade Village during the Games to facilitate the truly intelligent travel. It represents an important example of Chinese technology showcased on the world stage.

IPR protection follows the Universiade

To provide better coverage for the Universiade, China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA)has been on alert since June this year for major events such as the Hangzhou Asian Games and Asian Para Games and the Chengdu Universiade.Before that, CNIPA had approved 10 applications for registration of special marks, including the "Logo of Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games" submitted by the Executive Committee of Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games. As of now,the Chengdu Universiade has published 10 specially protected logos,497 registered copyrights, 12 granted patents, and 89 registered trademarks in China.

"It is one of the important duties of our market regulation departments to effectively protect the IPRs of the special logos of the Universiade as well as the legitimate rights and interests of right holders and users of those logos,"According to the relevant person in charge of the Administration of Sichuan province for Market Regulation,the administration launched a special action on April 24 this year to protect the IPRs of the special logos of the Chengdu Universiade and prevent them from unauthorized use on product packaging, ornamental or trademark use; it has also heightened protection of key areas such as buildings,tourist attractions, stations and airports around the competition venues in Chengdu, and improved the protection of foreign- related trademarks and other commercial logos.By the end of June, market regulation departments in Sichuan province had waged a total of 2,244 special checks and 989 publicity activities.

As the host city of the Universiade,Chengdu has also kept updating its IPR protection measures.

In addition to organization of training sessions, the Administration for Market Regulation of Chengdu jointly with a number of departments formulated and issued the "Provisions on Intellectual Property Protection for Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games" and "Measures for the Management of Special Logos of Chengdu 2021 FISU World University Games", to familiarize law enforcement officers with the scope, applicable laws and regulations, and procedures for the IP protection of special logos of the Universiade. It also participates in inter- agency law enforcement activities and special campaigns for the protection of the Universiade's IPRs.

Chengdu, a dynamic city, is now filled with Universiade elements.With this event, the city expects that young college students all around the world will harvest friendship and greater dreams.

MOGO Bus 

MOGO buses are autonomous driving front- loading buses equipped with the "vehicle-road-cloud Integrated" system. Controlled by an automotive brain independently developed by MOGO.ai, the buses can safely and efficiently handle complex traffic conditions and provide passengers with a green and low-carbon traffic experience.

Bipedal Humanoid Robot

The bipedal humanoid robot applied in the Universiade is China's first small bipedal robot capable of fast walking.Its high- ductility and hightorque composite steering gear has entered the leading ranks in China, and the gait algorithm for the bipedal robot has made new records in the industry.

Torch"Rong Huo"

Enabled by China's aerospace special engine technology,the Rong Huo torch has undergone improvements in combustion reliability, cleanliness and other torch function.Up to date, nearly 20 patent applications have been submitted for the torch development.
