China will enhance its international cooperation in patents as part of its effort to promote further opening-up, senior officials said at a key industry forum.
China is on a good way to implement a fully fledged IP protection system, not only patents, but also trademarks, designs, copyright, etc. I learned here this week that the Chinese patent system is supported from the highest State authority; the full administration is supporting patent protection. This is the best basis for a good system and for a wealthy economy. The challenge is that everything is so huge and (happening) so fast. And the patent offices have to speed up also. They have to deliver their services and procedures and so on, to meet the expectations from the public, from the inventors and innovators.

An important conference on intellectual property for countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative was held on Tuesday, gathering industry experts to discuss strengthening global cooperation and tackling IP in the digital era.
Intellectual property is at the heart of the innovation ecosystem that has given rise to the digital economy. It allows innovators to reap the rewards from their investments in creating digital technologies and content. It also creates markets for technologies and content, helping to spread the benefits of the digital economy. As other groundbreaking innovations have done throughout history, digital technologies pose a number of challenges to the IP system. Managing the sheer volume of IP rights is one (of those challenges). Defining the boundaries of what can be protected by different forms of IP is another.
