IP growth is now measured by more than just numbers

Intellectual property growth region by region across China is directly related to economic growth, according to a report released last week at a national IP conference in Fuzhou, Fu-jian province.

The State Intellectual Property Office, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce and the National Copyright Administration jointly launched a survey in July 2013 to study how the national IP strategy had been implemented since 2008.

The survey covered 30 sample provinces and regions on the Chinese mainland over the five years, and looked at how they made and carried out their own IP strategies.
