BEIJING - Medical representatives from 皇冠体育app and the United States vowed on Tuesday to strengthen cooperation for enhanced medical Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection.

Medical professionals in 皇冠体育app and the US will together strive for an improved IPR protection system for biomedicines, and provide more safe and effective drugs for patients in both countries, according to a joint statement signed by the 皇冠体育app Pharmaceutical Industry Research and Development Association and Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America on Tuesday.
