China has taken a series of measures to assist domestic enterprises in resolving intellectual property (IP) disputes overseas, said the country's top IP regulator.
This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.
Song Beibei, a senior official from the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), revealed that 71 sub-centers have been established across the country to manage international IP disputes. Moreover, China has set up branch centers in five countries, aiming to guide Chinese enterprises in safeguarding their IP rights abroad.
Besides, the CNIPA has also intensified efforts on training and expert guidance, Song said.
Song emphasized the monitoring mechanisms, particularly for industries like cross-border e-commerce. She said the CNIPA has released monitoring reports and timely reminder letters to help enterprises stay aware of relevant risks. It also established an information service platform to offer comprehensive guidelines on IP protection in major countries.
With the growing involvement in global trade, Chinese enterprises are encountering a rising number of IP disputes overseas.
"The lack of expertise, response capacity and information has become a major obstacle that hinders some of them from expanding internationally," – Song noted.
Song added that China will continue to increase support for Chinese enterprises in safeguarding their intellectual property rights overseas.
