Yang Tiejun, Deputy Commissioner of China's State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) met with a U.S. delegation led by Randall R. Rader, Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, on February 10.

Yang expressed the regards from SIPO's Commissioner Tian Lipu at the beginning and welcomed the judge's visit to China again. Given the good relationship and partnership between SIPO and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, further exchange on IPR topics will continually enhance mutual understanding in the key sector, he said.
