Intellectual Property + Policy Consulting, "Xingzhilian" Empowers SMEs to Gain Policy Dividends
Against the backdrop of the accelerated transformation and upgrading of the domestic technology industry, governments at all levels have been continuously intensifying their support policies for technology-based small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, many enterprises with core technologies and proprietary patents repeatedly encounter difficulties in policy application and qualification certification - they can't understand the policies, find the application entry points, or clarify the procedures. Founded in 2022, "Xingzhilian" attempts to use the service chain of "intellectual property + policy consultation + achievement transformation" to help enterprises turn paper policies into tangible growth resources.
Three Core Pain Points from a Decade of Industry Experience
The impetus for "Xingzhilian"'s entrepreneurship doesn't come from laboratories or business plans, but from the observations accumulated by the founding team over more than a decade in the front line of enterprise services. In the process of long-term cooperation with technology-based SMEs, the team discovered a recurring dilemma:
The first obstacle is information asymmetry. There are numerous subsidy policies and qualification certification projects at the national and local levels, and the application windows vary. Most SMEs don't have dedicated personnel to track policy dynamics. Business owners often learn about relevant information after the application deadline, missing opportunities even though they meet the requirements.
The second obstacle is the high process threshold. From the collection of R & D expenses to the sorting of intellectual property, from material writing to financial standardization, each link has detailed review criteria. One piece of non-compliant financial data or one inaccurately described R & D content may lead to the failure of months of preparation.
The third and more profound obstacle is the disconnection between intellectual property layout and enterprise growth planning. Some enterprises "collect" patents temporarily for application purposes and then put them aside after getting the subsidies. Some enterprises have core technologies but don't know how to match their patents with project applications, and they lack the awareness of the gradient growth path from start - up enterprises to high - tech enterprises and then to specialized and sophisticated "little giant" enterprises.
Data from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology shows that as of the end of 2024, the total number of domestic technology-based SMEs has exceeded 600,000, and the number of specialized and sophisticated "little giant" SMEs has exceeded 100,000. The market demand for gradient cultivation continues to be released, while there is still an obvious gap in the supply of professional and standardized services.
The Closed - loop Service of "Intellectual Property + Policy Consultation + Achievement Transformation"
Different from service providers in the market that only focus on a single link, "Xingzhilian" disassembles its services into three interlocking sectors.
Intellectual property service is the basic layer. The company holds the patent agency qualification issued by the State Intellectual Property Office. The team has multiple professional qualifications such as patent agents, project application management specialists, integration of industrialization and informatization consultants, ISO system auditors, and intellectual property management system external auditors. The technical fields cover communication, semiconductors, electronics, machinery, biology, and chemicals. The service content includes domestic and international patent applications, trademark registration, copyright registration, patent navigation analysis, and intellectual property rights protection consultation.
Policy consultation is the core layer. Different from traditional application agencies that only organize materials for a single project, "Xingzhilian" provides a gradient cultivation path planning - from the inclusion of technology-based SMEs in the database, to the high - tech enterprise certification, and then to the application for specialized and sophisticated "little giant" enterprises. The team will help enterprises in advance to sort out policy matching conditions, standardize R & D accounts, and prepare application materials. As the founder of a partner enterprise put it: "I stared at the policies for half a month before and still couldn't figure it out. They not only told me what I can apply for now but also helped me plan how to develop in the next three years."
Technology achievement transformation is the extended layer. The company has built its own technology achievement transformation platform and provides consulting services such as patent transfer and licensing, and technology matching. In 2025, it has facilitated more than 120 patent transfers and helped 34 patent - intensive products obtain certification. The intellectual property layout supports policy application, policy application promotes enterprise qualification upgrading, and achievement transformation enables intellectual property to generate real market value - the three sectors interlock with each other to form a closed loop.
Spreading from Beijing to the Whole Country, Building a Trust Barrier with Professional Services
Headquartered in Fangshan District, Beijing, "Xingzhilian" was officially established in September 2022. Since 2023, it has started cross - regional layout and has successively established branches in Chengdu, Tianjin, Baoding, and Rizhao. Its service network covers the Beijing - Tianjin - Hebei region and key innovation areas.
The company's development has been recognized by multiple parties. From 2024 to 2025, "Xingzhilian" was successively rated as a national high - tech enterprise, an innovative SME, and a national technology - based SME, and was recognized as a public service outlet for intellectual property information in Beijing and a cooperative service provider of the public service platform for SMEs in Beijing. In addition, the company has also won industry honors such as the second prize in the Fangshan District Entrepreneurship and Innovation Competition of "Entrepreneurship Beijing" and the gold medal for trademark design of the China Trademark Association.
On the channel side, "Xingzhilian" has established cooperative relationships with more than 80 industrial parks and incubators such as Zhongguancun Fangshan Park, Fengtai Park, Yizhuang Park, Liangxiang University Town, Shougang Fund, and Jingxi Zhigu. Through on - site services and regular visits, it provides intellectual property training and policy publicity services for park enterprises. In 2025, it visited more than 300 enterprises in total, held more than 50 online and offline training sessions, and served more than 1,000 enterprises.
At the customer level, its service objects include well - known enterprises such as Nengke Technology, South - to - North Water Diversion Company, BAIC Leidai, BAIC Penlong, iQiyi, Massive Data, AutoNavi Maps, Zhuanzhuan, Keep, Xiaoguan Tea, and Xiaoxiandun.
In terms of business model, "Xingzhilian" provides basic intellectual property services. Many founders of early - stage cooperative technology enterprises have reported that through "Xingzhilian"'s services, they not only obtained high - tech enterprise certification and corresponding subsidies but also avoided more than a year of detours.
When talking about the original intention of entrepreneurship, founder Zhang Shuai said that in this industry for more than a decade, he has seen too many good enterprises miss growth opportunities because they don't understand the policies. "Someone has to do this - help enterprises build bridges, get the benefits they deserve, and let enterprises with real technologies develop faster."
In the future, "Xingzhilian" plans to continue to deepen enterprise gradient cultivation services, explore in - depth special services such as patent micro - navigation and intellectual property risk investigation for high - growth enterprises like specialized and sophisticated "little giant" enterprises, and continuously optimize the matching efficiency of technology achievement transformation, so that the innovation achievements of more technology enterprises can be transformed into real development assets.
