Protect IP rights for greater innovation

The number of international patent applications filed by Chinese applicants through the Patent Cooperation Treaty has ranked first in the world for four consecutive years and as of June, effective registered trademarks in China had hit a new high of 45.909 million pieces.

It can be said that with the realization of a number of breakthroughs in the intellectual property cause in recent years, China has become a veritable IP power.

China always attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights, comprehensively strengthening top-level design and deepening various reforms in this field. A series of important documents released in recent years on building China into an IP power, promoting the transformation and application of patents, and strengthening the building of the IPR protection system have all demonstrated China's firm confidence in improving the IP system. The plan to establish an efficient and comprehensive IPR management system raised by the central authorities has also pointed out the direction on further strengthening IPR protection and application in China.
