Companies applying for intellectual property support funds once had to run between market regulation, industry and information technology, and finance departments; when a product was infringed by an out-of-province e-commerce seller, cross-provincial evidence collection, rights protection, and arbitration meant each enterprise spent more time on the road than actually solving the problem. This is a scene many Fujian business owners know all too well.

Now, that scene is being changed. Recently, the intellectual property protection "one-stop" service was launched on the "Fujian Yiqi Ban" platform. This service, listed by the China National Intellectual Property Administration among the ten practical matters for "benefiting the people and enterprises" in 2026 and designated by the Fujian Provincial Market Regulation Bureau as a key reform this year, consolidates matters that were previously scattered across multiple departments and windows into "one notification, one form, one set of materials, one online process." For enterprises, this may be the most noteworthy government service change of the year.

Core Service Functions

Intellectual Property Support Fund Application: Delivering Money to Innovators

For various intellectual property-related project applications and funding support, such as high-value patent cultivation and patent transformation and utilization projects, eligible enterprises, universities, and research institutions can apply through a unified online channel. In the past, application channels were fragmented and notification methods inconsistent; now they are centralized into a single entry point, making it harder for enterprises to miss application windows.

Intellectual Property Rights Protection Assistance: Finding Help When Infringement Occurs

Public welfare services are provided to intellectual property rights holders and interested parties, including infringement determination consultation, complex case consultation, and dispute mediation guidance. These are open to applicants whose domicile, habitual residence, or business location is within the jurisdiction, or whose infringement occurred within the jurisdiction; economically disadvantaged parties may apply for fee reduction or exemption support as prescribed. For small and medium-sized enterprises lacking dedicated legal teams, this is the most directly usable "external assistance."

Geographical Indication Special Mark Use Application: Giving Regional Specialty Brands Official Certification

Services are provided to actual users of geographical indication products and geographical indication trademarks, standardizing applications for the use of special marks, helping Fujian tea, fruit, aquatic products, and other regional specialty brands develop in a standardized manner and enhance market recognition. Application materials generally include a business license, the standard documents on which the geographical indication is based, and registration announcements or trademark registration certificates.

Intellectual Property Dispute Arbitration Application: An Additional Fast Track for Dispute Resolution

Connecting with arbitration institutions, this provides an arbitration application entry point for intellectual property contract disputes, infringement disputes, and others. Compared with litigation, arbitration has certain advantages in professionalism, confidentiality, and efficiency, and is an important part of the diversified resolution mechanism for intellectual property disputes. According to public information from provinces where the service has launched, except for arbitration acceptance fees charged as prescribed, the other four services are free, effectively reducing the cost of intellectual property protection for enterprises. Specific service content in Fujian Province is subject to the Yiqi Ban platform page.

Behind a single successful handling are countless rounds of process reengineering and data integration. Intellectual property is an invisible asset and also visible competitiveness—it deserves to be taken seriously, and it deserves to be treated more simply. As more and more "one-stop" services are implemented in Fujian, "easy handling" is no longer just a slogan, but an entry point on a mobile phone and the reassurance of fewer trips. Starting from "one-stop," let innovation be protected with greater peace of mind.
