Companies get smart with IP strategies
High-tech companies across China are increasingly focusing on patent protection as they strive to raise the value of the "made-in-China" brand.
One such company is Beijing's Aigo Digital Technology Co Ltd, a leading IT specialist that focuses on portable data storage, digital players, digital cameras, computer components and information security solutions.
Aigo is dedicated to promoting homegrown brands on the international market, said Huang Jing, the company's intellectual property supervisor. He said owning proprietary intellectual property ensures a company remains competitive and increases the added value of its products.
