Recently, the IP industry media IPRdaily and the incoPat Innovation Index Research Center released the "2017 Global Blockchain Enterprise Patent Ranking (Top 100)". The report shows that the growth rate of China's blockchain patents far exceeds that of the United States, leading the world . Among the top 100, Chinese companies accounted for 49%, followed by the United States accounting for 33%; Alibaba ranked first with a total of 49.
This list ranks the number of patents of global blockchain business enterprises in 2017 (without merger of applicants). The data range is the number of patents publicly announced globally in 2017, including invention applications, utility models, and design patents.
Public information shows that Ali has implemented multiple application scenarios based on the decentralization, distributed storage and tamper-proof features of blockchain technology, including public welfare, genuine product traceability, medical treatment, etc., and mainly focuses on the underlying technology of blockchain. Such as consensus mechanism, platform architecture, privacy protection and smart contracts. Let's take a look at Alibaba's related layout in the blockchain field.
Ant Financial
In October 2017, Ant Financial CTO Cheng Li first disclosed the future technology layout - "BASIC" strategy at the Ant Financial Financial Technology Open Summit, where B corresponds to the blockchain.
Subsequently, Tong Ling, chief architect of Ant Financial, said in public that if Ant Financial's blockchain 1.0 is built around Ant itself, then its blockchain 2.0 is an open platform. This platform is completely self-operating, and it can be understood that its business model is already decentralized and self-operating. From 2016 to 2017, Ant Financial has been committed to using blockchain in public welfare and pan-public welfare (public welfare + insurance) scenarios. In the era of blockchain 2.0, non-profit organizations can operate and manage these projects on their own. After these projects are on the chain, by introducing these participants, regulators, media, and even some members who are willing to participate, they can verify the authenticity of the data on the chain. sex is verified.
From the perspective of cooperative projects, Ant Financial has now become the team with the deepest application of blockchain within the Ali Department.
Ali Cloud
In the blockchain sub-forum of the 2016 Hangzhou Yunqi Conference, Alibaba Cloud Mailbox, in conjunction with Fada, launched the world's first mailbox storage product based on blockchain technology. After the product goes online, users can synchronously save the feature data (including hash values) of important emails to an authoritative third-party organization; once a dispute arises, users can download the full text of the emails themselves, and send them to forensic identification agencies to verify the characteristics of the original emails. After the data is compared with the previously stored data, the corresponding authentication report can be generated, according to which the user can effectively safeguard his legal rights and interests.
At the same time, Alibaba Financial Cloud and Yicheng Interactive launched a blockchain-based point mall, Yunyou Mall, to provide banks with blockchain-based points and installment (consumer finance) scenarios.
Alibaba
In March 2017, Alibaba and PricewaterhouseCoopers cooperated and announced that they would apply new technologies such as "blockchain" to jointly create a transparent and traceable cross-border food supply chain and build a safer food market. The platform will be tested in Australia and track the movement of food from producer to consumer.
On November 24, Tmall International announced to upgrade the global origin traceability plan, which will cover 63 countries and regions around the world, 3,700 categories, and 14,500 overseas brands. It will also be open to the entire industry, empowering the entire industry.
Ali Health
In August 2017, Alibaba Health announced to cooperate with the Changzhou Medical Alliance + Blockchain Pilot Project to apply blockchain technology to the underlying technical architecture system of the Changzhou Medical Alliance to solve the "information island" that has long plagued medical institutions and data security issues. This is the first blockchain solution implemented in China based on medical scenarios.
What does blockchain mean to the masses?
Alibaba, which is dominated by online business, expects to apply blockchain in more scenarios in the future to solve related problems such as finance, agriculture, e-commerce, and smart cities. A month ago, Tencent Cloud officially released the blockchain financial-grade solution BaaS (Blockchain as a Service). This week, Baidu tested the blockchain pet game "Leitz Dog". In addition, this time Ali was awarded the global blockchain enterprise patent. At the top of the list, the three BAT giants have made achievements on the blockchain, and the competition will be more intense in the future.
At the same time, with giants like Alibaba and Tencent ahead, those entrepreneurs who want to make achievements in the direction of the blockchain are the best choice to be vertical and small. Those air coins that do not have core technology and just want to cheat money by ICO will have nowhere to run.
