China and UK Strengthen IP Ties

2016/12/21

The UK and China have strengthened intellectual property ties during visits from officials to each country.
In early December, Sean Dennehey, CEO of the UK Intellectual Property Office (IPO), visited Beijing, Guangzhou and Chengdu.
This trip was immediately followed by a visit from Liu Junchen, vice minister of the State Administration for Industry & Commerce (SAIC), to the UK.
During the visits, 2017 bilateral work plans between the IPO and the State Intellectual Property Office on patents and designs, the IPO and SAIC on trademarks, and the IPO and the National Copyright Administration of China were agreed.
Additionally, the China-Britain Business Council (CBBC) and Chinese e-commerce platform JD.com signed a co-operative agreement to reduce online counterfeiting.
The UK participated as a "country-of-honour" in a copyright exhibition and conference in Guangzhou, while a UK-China trademarks summit was also held in London, opened by UK Minister of State for Energy and IP, Baroness Neville-Rolfe, and Junchen.
