China's IPR policy gains good report

Apr.27 - AmCham China yesterday released a survey, which suggests the
Chinese government is both capable of and willing to take action against
those who violate intellectual property rights (IPR).
The 2007 AmCham China Business Climate Survey said that 44.2 percent of
the US companies operating in China that responded to the poll said the
situation regarding IPR infringements had improved. A majority 48.1
percent said it had stayed the same and 7.7 percent said it had
deteriorated.
For those companies with experience of public security enforcement on IPR
cases, 51 percent said it had improved, 47 percent said it had stayed the
same and 2 percent said it had deteriorated.
For those with experience of Chinese customs enforcement on IPR, 43
percent indicated it had improved and 57 percent said it had stayed the
same.
The survey was carried out by the American Chamber of Commerce in China,
which represents more than 1,000 US companies here.
It said: "Over the past year, evidence has continued to mount that the
Chinese Government is serious in its intention to bring IPR protection
order to the Chinese market."
Various legal initiatives were advanced over the past year, such as a
string of new legislation and revisions of existing laws on online
copyright protection, royalty levies, patents and trademarks.
A 100-day nationwide campaign launched on July 15, which targeted pirated
audio and video products and computer software resulted in an average
haul of 19.46 million illegal publications every month through September.
In the whole of 2006, authorities seized 150 million illegal, pirated and
pornographic publications.
"Many of these positive developments reflect China's ambitious plans to
promote homegrown innovation," the report continued.
Early this month, the National Working Group for IPR Protection released
China's Action Plan on IPR Protection 2007, detailing 276 concrete
measures in 10 areas.
A National IPR Strategy Formulation will be completed by the end of June.
"Moreover, a continued surge in application filings in China demonstrates
that both Chinese and foreign companies are embracing these
developments," the survey said.
In 2006, there were more than 700,000 trademark applications filed in
China, and the number of invention patent filings rose to 210,490, up 21
percent on the previous year.
Despite the favourable report and China's progress on IPR protection,
Canada is likely to join the United States in complaining to the World
Trade Organization about the IPR protection situation here.
Canadian Trade Minister David Emerson was quoted by local media as saying
yesterday: "We are seeking clarification from China on its IPR
enforcement regime, given concerns expressed by Canadian industry.
"Our goal is to resolve this issue through dialogue with the Chinese
government and through cooperation with our trading partners."
