Overseas Technology Protection Issues and Countermeasures of Chinese Infrastructure Enterprises under the “Belt and Road” Initiative

Abstract

With the in-depth promotion of the “Belt and Road” initiative, Chinese infrastructure enterprises have ushered in an important opportunity for internationalization, but the problem of overseas technology protection is becoming more and more prominent, which has become an important challenge affecting the core competitiveness of the enterprises and national interests. By analyzing the current situation of intellectual property disputes faced by Chinese infrastructure enterprises in countries along the Belt and Road Initiative, this paper reveals the major problems in overseas technology protection, including illegal imitation of patents, over-exploitation of technology by partners, preemptive application of patents for new technologies, and the risk of cross-border data transmission, etc. The study further explores the causes of these problems and the impacts on the core competitiveness and national interests of enterprises. The study further explores the causes of these problems, such as the lack of overseas patent layout, the low cost of breach of contract, the imperfection of the enterprise's intellectual property risk control system, and the lack of data security monitoring system. Aiming at these problems, this paper puts forward countermeasures and suggestions such as strengthening overseas patent layout, improving default cost, and constructing enterprise intellectual property rights prevention and control system and data security prevention and control system, which are aimed at providing theoretical support and practical guidance for China's infrastructure enterprises to “go global”, and helping China's infrastructure technology to realize sustainable development on a global scale.
