The Zhenghe (Group) Co has drawn up “Methods for the Management of Scientific and Technological Achievements” to get its employees to be enthusiastic about scientific and technological innovations and the commercialization and application of any developments. This was done in accordance with the China National Chemical Corp’s “Patent Management Measures” and related rules on intellectual property rights. Zhenghe’s rules call for rewards for projects that introduce new technology and technical methods for application, if they prove to have economic benefits. The company also provides rewards for patents. If a department does outstanding work in patent applications or contributes, there will be a reward of 1,000 yuan for the department after an appropriate assessment. The company will provide rewards for patent creators or designers. And, any employee with research findings or published articles will qualify for a reward.
