SIPO Ranks Among World's Top Eight Intellectual Property Offices
China's State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) has so far more than 1.2 million intellectual property applications, which makes it one of the world's eight largest intellectual property offices.
This also indicated that the consciousness of intellectual property protection has been greatly enhanced among the Chinese, especially scientific and technological workers, according to an intellectual property forum held last week in Nanchang, east China's Jiangxi Province.
A senior SIPO official, Tian Lipu, said China has initially established an overall system for intellectual property work, based on the SIPO's 54 intellectual property branches in all provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, as well as some major cities.
He said that China has also established a legal system on intellectual property rights that not only tallies with internationally accepted practices and conventions but also accords with China's reality.
