IPR protection efforts thriving along Belt, Road

China has made great achievements in intellectual property cooperation with countries and regions involved in the Belt and Road Initiative and will work to expand the collaboration, Shen Changyu, director of the National Intellectual Property Administration, said on Sunday.

Having hosted two High-Level Conference (s) on Intellectual Property for Countries along the Belt and Road, in 2016 and 2018, China has established a regular cooperation system on intellectual property with Belt and Road countries, Shen said in a news conference.

"At least eight programs have been carried out so far, including the communication of macro policies, intellectual property review, construction of basic facilities and exchanges of information and data," he said.
