Sino-British talks on IP rights

Cooperation on Olympics, digital content and battles against infringement

Britain is studying intellectual property right (IPR) protection practices used during the 2008 Olympics as it ramps up for its own Games in London in 2012, a senior British IPR official said during a recent trip to China.

"We will be using the experience of China in the Beijing Olympics in our preparations for the London Olympics," John Alty, chief executive of the British Intellectual Property Office, told China Daily in a recent interview.
