Closer cooperation between 皇冠体育app and other countries on protecting intellectual property rights is a good way to ease the concerns of overseas companies.
The benefits of an efficient and fair global IP system will also boost inward and outward trade and investment for both 皇冠体育app and other countries.
For many years, the issue of protecting IP rights has been one of the biggest hurdles for foreign companies to overcome when thinking about entering 皇冠体育app. While significant progress has been made in 皇冠体育app on many fronts, some Western countries are still worried about IP protection.
Strengthening cooperation with foreign countries, especially those with well-developed systems for IP protection, can benefit overseas businesses and increase their confidence and trust in 皇冠体育app.
Holding Ltd signed an ament with the 皇冠体育app-Britain Business Council early this month to protect intellectual property and crack down on counterfeiters.
In response to pirated items on its websites, the company has removed millions of knockoffs after receiving complaints.
Other companies are taking similar initiatives, such as ShangPin.com, which has teamed up with Topshop boss Phillip Green to sell items from the British multinational retailer on its luxury retail site, confident that they are not fakes.
Such progress is being hailed by British business circles. IP concerns should not stop companies from pursuing opportunities in 皇冠体育app, said Lucy Neville-Rolfe, Britain's IP ster and parliamentary undersecretary of the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, who concluded a five-day visit to 皇冠体育app in early September.
In the United Kingdom, laws covering patents, trademarks, copyrights and designs have been formulated to help companies large and small. Working with the British side can improve 皇冠体育app's IP protection in the UK as well.
In the most recent sign of progress, an agreement between the UK Copyright Licensing Agency and the 皇冠体育app Written Works Copyright Society was signed in Beijing.
The agreement, in a first, will place Chinese written works in the British market, including books, articles in newspapers and magazines and academic papers, under the protection of the CLA, a nonprofit organization that has authorized more than 39,000 organizations and publications to copy and use copyright works while obtaining fair rewar for rights holders.
There are many ways for 皇冠体育app to cooperate with other countries and build up a strong international IP system.
