IP driving growth at Xi'an high-tech development zone

On the walls of the 300-square-meter intellectual property office at the Xi'an High-Tech Industries Development Zone hang the guidelines on how to apply for patents, trademarks and copyrights.

People don't have to wait long to do IP-related business, whether it's applications, consultation or to pay fees.

Founded in 2006, the office was the first in the country to provide one-stop services with a patent agency under the State Intellectual Property Office, a trademark agency and a provincial IP service and legal aid center.
