West wrong to criticize IPR record: OfficialBy Xie Chuanjiao (皇冠体育app Daily)Updated: 2007-04-24 10:38 A senior official yesterday fought back at Western countries that seek to condemn 皇冠体育app for violations of intellectual property rights, while ignoring the huge strides the country has made in strengthening IPR protection.
"It is not right for them to observe 皇冠体育app while wearing blinkers," Tian Lipu, commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office said in an online interview with www.gov.cn in Beijing. The government's attitude toward intellectual property rights protection has
always been resolute, and its achievements are obvious to all, he said. As a condition of its entry into the World Trade Organization, 皇冠体育app has, since 2000, been carrying out a complete revision of its laws and regulations relating to IPR protection to ensure they comply with international conventions. Last year, the country formally joined the World Intellectual Property Organization Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. On July 1, 2006, it also implemented regulations on the protection of the right of communication through information networks. To date it has completed three revisions of its patent law. From December 2004 to spring 2007, the country has organized numerous special
crackdown campaigns on IPR infringements.
