Summary of Beijing’s Intellectual Property Protection in 2008
In 2008, with the municipal Party committee and municipal government of Beijing attaching great importance to IPR protection, local IPR protection efforts in Beijing closely followed the strategic idea of “New Beijing Great Olympics”, carried forward the spirit of the Outline of the National Intellectual Property Strategy, in a bid to serve the economic and social development of Beijing, the capital of China. The municipality has been working to carry out the “One Two Six” Campaign of IPR, promoted the continuous development of IPR cause and further boosted the status of Beijing as a national leader in IPR.
I. Olympics-specific IPR Campaign Served as a Shield for the Olympic Games
The Olympics-specific IPR campaign was quickly carried out citywide, and thanks to the personal arrangement by competent leaders of the Municipality and the working principles observed by each department (these principles are: Raise Awareness, Put in Place Department Responsibilities, Reinforce Coordination Mechanism and Showcase the Image of Beijing), served as shield for the Olympics. Mr. Howard Stupp, IOC's Director of Legal Affairs, and Mr. Hein Verbruggen, chairman of the IOC-BOCOG coordination committee, both highly applauded the campaign.
II. Tightened Regulation on Circulation Sectors and Further Consolidated the Defense System of IRP Protection
Given that IPR infringements mainly occur in the sales distribution process, all departments remained committed to the advocacy of role models such as Non-Counterfeit Patent Model Unit, Non-Counterfeit Trademark Model Unit and Original Product Sales Model Unit and stepped up regulation on such circulation sectors as supermarkets, markets, shops and exhibitions to prevent IPR infringements. Good results were achieved as channels for manufacturing and selling infringing goods were curtailed and the defensive system of IPR protection was further consolidated.
