The Chinese government has always attached great importance to IPR protection, not only to the protection of foreign Intellectual Property, but also to that of our own Intellectual Property. So far, the whole nation has realized that the IPR protection is not only the requirement to keep China¡¯s commitments to the World Trade Organization, but also the necessity to broaden its opening to the outside world, improve investment environment, and introduce overseas investment and advanced technologies. In the meantime, the IPR protection is also an intrinsic need to speed up our own economic construction and social development.
Anyhow, it is worth pointing out that the establishment and perfection of IPR system and the increased protection awareness of IPR for any country are bound to be a process of gradual development. The protection level of IPR in one country closely links with that of its economic development and technological progress. At present, some problems still exist in China¡¯s IPR protection, but they have attracted our special attention and are continually resolved one after another. The Chinese government¡¯s determination and attitude regarding IPR protection have been consistent, the legal rights and interests of right holders from the rest of the world will be protected in China and all infringement and counterfeiting acts will be punished in accordance with the laws. Furthermore, IPR protection is a worldwide issue, demanding full cooperation from all sides. The Chinese government hopes that some countries should remove their suspicions about China¡¯s IPR protection, have a better understanding of Chinese laws, regulations, and enforcement regarding IPR protection, and with cooperative attitude to jointly promote technological progress.
