中國國家知識產權局官員21日駁斥個別西方國家提出的“中國知識產權保護不力”問題稱，“中國政府一貫堅持加強知識產權保護，也一直致力于在全社會營造尊重知識產權的良好氛圍”。
Beijing (CNS) -- A senior official at the State Intellectual Property Office (SIPO) on Thursday dismissed accusations of weak intellectual property protection and called for more international cooperation.
Cao Donggen, vice-director of SIPO's patent administration department, said at a news briefing that the Chinese government continues to strengthen IP protection and is committed to creating a more open and respectful environment for intellectual property.
IP protection is an issue of universal concern and violation cases occur in almost all countries, said Cao, adding that countries should enhance cooperation instead of accusing each other unreasonably.
Cao cited the 1.25 million patents that had been granted to enterprises with foreign capital in China by the end of 2012, saying that if intellectual property protection in China is "a mess," why have so many enterprises applied and transferred patents here?
A nine-month police sweep was carried out from October 2010 to June 2011 to crack down on intellectual property rights violations and the production and sale of fake goods, he added.
