Recently, China Hangzhou Cultural & Creative Industry Expo kicked off. The organizer has set up a special area for the municipal intellectual property office and the administration for copyright to provide IP service during the event.

Those IP officials have responded to public consultation for about one hundred times, distributed as many as 2,000 dissemination leaflets, and promulgated IP protection aid service in Hangzhou. All those actions have effectively increased the IP awareness of the exhibitors and better protected the legal rights of patent owners and consumers.

This year, both of the above two IP agencies have conducted inspections in local large-scale shopping centers, supermarkets and well-known exhibitions, effectively safeguarding a sound market order.
