China should have its say in drafting international rules on intellectual property rights (IPR) protection, the top judge handling IPR issues in the country has said.

In the past, Western countries have played a leading role in formulating global IPR treaties - but the situation has now changed, Chief Justice of the IPR Tribunal of the Supreme People's Court Jiang Zhipei told China Daily in an exclusive interview on Monday.

"Chinese judges are now eminently capable of participating in discussions about international treaties on IPR protection," Jiang said.

International patents and IPR protection for music and online works are some of the topics likely to figure in discussions on international treaties, according to Jiang.

And China wants to play a significant role in discussions, he said, citing judges' increasing legal acumen and mastery of the English language.

"China has chalked up remarkable judicial achievements in recent years, and in the process, handled all types of IPR cases," he said.

According to Jiang, Chinese judges are involved in training, and exchanging views with their counterparts from developing countries, and even some developed countries.

"Chinese opinion on IPR protection is given considerable importance by the international community," Jiang said, adding that as a result, the country is the venue for many international conferences.
