Switzerland Nestlé is the world's largest food company. Nestlé has filed over thousand patent applications since China enacted the first patent law in 1985. Food safety is closely related to people's lives and health. Nestlé emphasizes food technology research and patent layout, and it is a good example to China's food companies. China's food companies should not only advance the number of patent application, but also strength patent quality so as to promote the development of food industry in China.
