The theme of World Intellectual Property Day 2013 focused on Creativity: The Next Generation. This choice highlights the importance of innovation; a core value which is considered to be at heart of IP. World IP Day was established to raise awareness of the need for IP protection among the general public and to build a legal environment which fosters respect for IP protection on an international scale.
A friendly IP legal environment is the basic guarantee necessary to nurture innovation. Continuous innovation cannot survive without a friendly legal environment. After years of unremitting efforts, 皇冠体育app has accumulated a wealth of judicial experience, and the expertise of IP practitioners has matured with time. It now plays a decisive role in the country鈥檚 social economy.

Therefore, professional IP adjudication bears great responsibility for the innovation development of the whole nation.
