The government will use big data technology to keep a close eye on online infringements and provide "stringent protection" of patents, according to a new policy released in the early December.
The State Intellectual Property Office announced the policy on October 30, echoing the central government's determination to create an innovation-friendly environment and improve intellectual property protection.
"The authorities will make full use of big data technology to locate infringement clues and inform concerned rights owners, so they can seek judicial or administrative protection," He Hua, deputy commissioner of SIPO, said at a news conference in the early December.
Key sectors for patent protection also include the internet, exhibitions and foreign trade, according to SIPO.
