Giving stronger legal support to IP rights

While giving stronger legal support to well-known works, Chinese courts are determined to maintain the order of registered trademarks, so as to reduce the protection costs for IP rights’ owners. Data released by the country’s top court showed that Chinese courts accepted more than 520,000 IP-related lawsuits last year. In last year, courts nationwide took the initiative to serve the country’s strategies and promote innovation-driven development, with stronger IP protection given to major sectors and emerging industries, including new technologies.
