The National Equities Exchange and Quotation (NEEQ), also known as the New Third Board, is a national securities trading venue established under the Securities Law with State Council approval. As China's first corporate stock exchange, it serves as a market platform for non-listed joint-stock companies to publicly transfer shares and raise capital through issuance. It provides services including stock trading, financing, mergers and acquisitions, while offering information, technical support, and training to market participants.
Compared to listed companies, NEEQ companies exhibit the following characteristics:
- Generally smaller enterprise scale
- Sound operational management
- Broad industry coverage
- Concentrated equity structure dominated by natural person shareholders
- Emphasis on technological development and core competitiveness
The CnOpenData patent series already covers listed companies, industrial enterprises, high-tech enterprises, and universities. This update adds NEEQ patent data, categorized into invention application patents, invention authorized patents, utility model patents, and design patents, each containing basic information tables and transaction tables (design patents exclude transaction tables).
