Firms will use law to protect their IPR

US should cooperate to better protect IPR

Yao Qi, associate professor and assistant dean of Law School, Beijing Foreign Studies University

China today has stricter laws and regulations to protect IPR, and better enforces them. Not only are Chinese industries and enterprises attaching higher value to IPR protection, but also China has become a large IP exporter to other countries.

The Law for Countering Unfair Competition was revised recently, in particular, to target unfair competition behaviors such as improperly using intellectual properties of other individuals or companies, or violating their commercial interests. China leads the world in terms of the number of IPR cases-Chinese courts dealt with 109,386 civil IPR cases in 2015, compared with only about 14,500 cases in the US. And China has been fulfilling its commitments under the international IPR conventions and agreements it has inked.

Enterprises are the main players in the market and will use every legal course to protect their IPR. Therefore, it is not becoming of one government to pressure another to guarantee foolproof IPR protection.
