In recent years, the cooperation between blockchain technology and IoT (Internet of Things) has become an important development trend. This main reason is that the blockchain has decentralized characteristics and digital signatures, and can record modified data to lower malicious attacks to IoT and connected devices. Blockchain technology has enhanced security between connected devices thus has encouraged widespread adoption of IoT applications.
Other than virtual currencies, blockchain has also begun to extend reach to logistics, smart home appliances, IoV (Internet of Vehicle), energy management, smart healthcare, and smart farming. This report provides an overview of what Chinese big names and startups have invested in blockchain IoT and fully examines their patent deployment strategies in this sector.

Methodology
Primary research with a holistic, cross-domain approach
The exhaustive primary research methods are central to the value that the analyst delivers. A combination of questionnaires and on-site visits to the major manufacturers provides a first view of the latest data and trends. Information is subsequently validated by interviews with the manufacturers' suppliers and customers, covering a holistic industry value chain. This process is backed up by a cross-domain team-based approach, creating an interlaced network across numerous interrelated components and system-level devices to ensure statistical integrity and provide in-depth insight.
Complementing primary research is a running database and secondary research of industry and market information. Dedicated research into the macro-environmental trends shaping the ICT industry also allows the analyst to forecast future development trends and generate foresight perspectives. With more than 20 years of experience and endeavors in research, the methods and methodologies include:
