On Wednesday, China's foremost intellectual property official announced actions to help local businesses handle IP conflicts abroad. Song Beibei, a senior figure at the China National Intellectual Property Administration, disclosed the creation of 71 sub-centers within the nation dedicated to international IP dispute resolution, along with branch centers in five nations aimed at assisting Chinese firms in protecting their IP rights globally.
Further detailing the efforts of the CNIPA, Song noted the expansion in training and professional advice being offered. Song highlighted the importance of vigilance systems, especially in sectors such as cross-border e-commerce. "The CNIPA has released monitoring reports and timely reminder letters to help enterprises stay aware of relevant risks," she said, adding that an information service platform has been set up to provide extensive IP protection guidelines in key countries.
The surge in global trade participation has led Chinese companies to face an increasing number of IP challenges internationally. "The lack of expertise, response capacity and information has become a major obstacle that hinders some of them from expanding internationally," Song pointed out.
Song reaffirmed China’s commitment to continuing its support for domestic enterprises in defending their intellectual property rights abroad. She mentioned that, in support of this commitment, the CNIPA has formed IP cooperation agreements with 57 nations participating in the Belt and Road Initiative.
