Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs Sample Clauses

Protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs. The TRIPs Agreement requires WTO members to provide MFN status, national treatment, and high levels of IPRs protection and enforcement for copyrights, trademarks, geographical indications, industrial designs, patents, layout designs of integrated circuits and trade secrets. Along with its progress in reform and opening up, China has made substantial progress in IPRs protection. In accordance with its national conditions, China has formulated and fine-tuned various laws and regulations on IPRs protection. The scope of the IPRs protected in China and the degree of protection afforded have gradually conformed with international practices. The Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China was first adopted in 1983 and it was revised in 1993 to meet the requirements of China’s economic development.

The Patent Law of the People’s Republic of China first came into effect in April 1985 and its amendment was adopted in September 1992 to bring the level of China’s patent protection closer to international standards. The Copyright Law of the People’s Republic of China and the rules for its implementation explicitly protect the copyright and other legitimate rights and interests of the authors of literary, artistic and scientific work. The law provides that in addition to protecting the copyright of written works, oral works, music, operas, choreography, works of fine arts, photographs, films, TV programmes, video tapes, engineering designs, product designs and their descriptions, maps, sketch maps and other graphic works, China also protects computer software. Relevant treaties to which China is a signatory include the Paris Convention for the Protection of Intellectual Property, the Madrid Agreement on International Trademark Registration, the Berne Convention on Copyright, and the Patent Cooperation Treaty. China has also made a commitment that upon its accession to the WTO, it will immediately implement TRIPs Agreement. It is now revising its copyright, trademark and patent laws, apparently to make them more compatible with TRIPs requirements.66 However, currently the most often heard complaints about China’s IPRs protection is its enforcement. Awareness of IPRs has undoubtedly improved in recent years. Enforcement of IPRs has become part of China’s anti-crime campaign; the Chinese police and court system has also actively involved in combating IPR piracy. But despite this progress, ser...
