Strategies of innovation

Protection of intellectual property rights could help China grow its own technologies and domestic brands

Whether or not China can realize its ambitious strategy of developing itself into an innovative and creative nation will be decided to a large extent by whether it can boost the competitiveness of its homegrown technologies, its cultural power and the influence of domestic brands.

To facilitate this process, the country needs to take more concrete and effective measures to strengthen protection of its intellectual property rights (IPR) and innovation.
