Beijing moving to protect Olympic IP
Beijing plans to release an action plan for the protection of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics intellectual property rights, a government official said recently.
As the Beijing Winter Games draw near, intellectual property rights protection is advancing smoothly, said Pan Xinsheng, spokesperson and deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office, at a news conference last week.
According to Pan, the office has received patent, copyright, and trademark applications for the emblems, mascot and logo for volunteers.
The number of patents per 10,000 people reached about 156 last year in Beijing, ranking first in China. Beijing was granted 163,000 patents in 2020, including 63,000 new inventions and 363,000 trademarks registered out of 565,000 applications.
The number of copyright registrations was around 1 million, including 204,000 involving software.
