Huawei should strive for advanced technology, but only
half step; 3 steps will be a loser--- Ren Zhengfei, President
Huawei’s Standard Perspective
“taking ship of others out to sea”, streaming into global major
standard system, strive for initiative in globalization and
more opportunities,

The standardization of telecommunication industry is
at high level, 90% market share is major standards. You
have to mainstream into major standard system for
getting more opportunities in global market.

Combine big manufacturers to integrate big standard,
coordinate thousands of manufacturers to provide with good
quality, low cost services.

Register international patent, protect self intellectual property
right, break the barriers in international market

Respect intellectual property right of others, reach
Cross License Agreements with IPR owners, e.g.
Ericsson, Nokia, Siemens, Qualcomm,
Huawei’s Standard Patent Joint Strategy
Persist in investing 10% of selling income into R&D per year, put 10%
of R&D investment into advanced research, standard and patent;
tracing on new technology and new fields, to ensure the required IPR
in the market competition;

Implemented
standard and patent strategy, participated international
standardization, promoted independent technology into standard,
accumulated fundamental patent.
Participated
in 78 international standard organizations like ITU、3GPP、
IEEE、IETF、ETSI、OMA, etc.
Took
key positions of vice chairman of ITU-T SG11, Chairman of 3GPP
SA5, Vice chairman of RAN2/CT1, vice chairman of 3GPP2 TSG-C
WG2/WG3, vice chairman of TSG-A WG2, technical group
chairman of ITU-R WP8F, submitted 2900 proposals or
documents to standard organizations in 2006
Lenovo’s Innovation and standard perspective

The basis of innovation is learning, 90% is of inheritance, own
or others’ experiences, 10% is independently innovation.
---- Yang Yuanqing, Board Chairman

Lenovo participates in domestic and international
standardization positively.

Registers hundreds of patents per year, totally owns more than
2000 patents, the income of patents to 30 to 40 million US
dollars
Lenovo’s Innovation and standard perspective

1988, independently developed computer main board

1991，developed first Chinese character chip

1996，developed no-jumper main board technology ；

2002，developed High performance computer, one
trillion mathematical operations per second

2003，to promote IGRS standard as a key pioneer

2005，developed first security chip, became one of a 8
core members of TCG

2007, set up joint research center with Microsoft
4. Achievements (con.)

China’s Status in International Standardization Was Greatly
Elevated

In 2008, China became one of six permanent members to the governing
ISO Council

By the end of 2008, 26 ISO secretariats and 5 IEC secretariats where
Chinese experts held the post.

19 TC or SC (vice) chairmen of ISO and 3 TC or SC (vice) chairmen of
IEC were Chinese Experts.

In 2008，China submitted 22 standard proposals to ISO and IEC. By
the end of 2008, China had already submitted 164 standard proposals
to ISO and IEC, in which 64 had become international standards.

Prof Song Mingshun got the ISO Award for Higher Education in
Standardization

2009, three Chinese experts won the IEC 1906 Award
5. Challenges

Legal and Regulation System Needs Strengthening

The system of standards established under the conditions of
the “planned commodity economy” is no longer able to meet
the requirements of the market economy.

The formulation of national, sector, local standards is presided
over by the government. the government has the right to
preside over the formulation and issuance of the 3 levels of
standards that include all the mandatory and voluntary ones.

The Chinese legal system does not acknowledge the existence
of technical regulations (mandatory standards).

the Standardization Law did not give industrial associations a
legal status to formulate standards.

It is imperative to enact a new standardization law
5. Challenges (con.)

Standardization Pattern Should Be Improved to Meet the
Requirements of Market Economy

Nowadays, some associations, such as CCSA, CEEIA, IRGS
Alliance have become the main force in formulating standards,
but only national or sector standards rather than their own
association standards.

To make standards more relevant to the market, the central
government should also loosen its control over associations in
the aspect of standardization to let the market foster and
develop a system of voluntary standards.
5. Challenges (con.)
SAC
Association can develop national, or
sector standards rather than their owns


IRGS Intelligent Grouping and Resource Sharing

2003 IRGS Working Group established, by MII

IRGS Alliance run from 2005. Lenovo was one bellwether. Now,
14 core members, 134 members

2005.6 IRGS 1.0 became MII sector standard, the first 3Ccompatiable technical standard in China

2006.7 submitted IRGS to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC 25, now FDIS

IGRS standard as a part of Digital Technique Application of
Building and Residence Community National Standard of China
(GB/T 20299)

2006.3, Asia Home Network Council was set up by IRGS
Alliance, ECHONET Consortium of Japan, Home Network Forum
of Korea
6. Conclusions
(1) The Project of the MOST conducted comprehensive
research on


standardization history and current status in China,

international standardization organizations and the
developed countries,

the intellectual analysis and contrast;
put forward constructive suggestions for
implementing standardization strategies in China,
and has had great impact on the plans or strategies
released by government at all levels afterward.
6. Conclusions (con.)
(2) The standardization administration in China is a system with
the division of responsibilities of government agencies at all
levels.

The emphases of standardization strategies implemented by
central, sector and local governments are different.

As a consequence, the real standardization strategy is the
comprehensive result of implementing all the standardization
strategies by different government agencies.
6. Conclusions (con.)
(3) The standardization strategy of China can be outlined as:

government as the driving force, enterprises as the mainstay,
market as the guidance;

stepwise transition to the voluntary standard system to adapt the
needs of market economy;

to improve market relevant of national standards and sector
standards;

to rationalize the relations between standard and technology
innovation, the protection of intellectual property and upgrade of
industry, to focus on their harmonious development;

to adopt international standard effectively;

to participate international competition on selection and support
submitting proposals from independent innovational technologies.
6. Conclusions (con.)
(4) Standardization in China has developed to a
considerable scale and the capacity of
participation in international standardization has
been gradually improved.

After a quantitative increase of domestic standards,
TCs and SCs, technical experts, more attention is
currently paid to the quality of development.

The standardization of China has made its due
contribution to the development of economy of,
gone international and become a very important
part of international standardization.
6. Conclusions (con.)
(5) The deep rooted challenge that China standardization
development is facing is the innovation on
standardization administration.

Transformed from the planned economy, the standardization
administration system and the four level standards system still
remain the vestiges of China’s planned economy and thus
cannot adapt to the needs of market economy.

Three of the four levels of standards that the Standardization
Law ordains are government standards.

And currently the legal status of association standard in China
is still not recognized.
6. Conclusions (con.)
(6) The revision of the Standardization Law will decide
the direction of the reform of standardization system.
Standardization administration system will be
readjusted gradually with the development of market
economy and the deepening reform of government.
