The rising number of patent and trademark applications made by foreign businesses shows that foreigner enterprises further strengthen their awareness of IPR protection and they are willing to do business in China.
In order to support the development of small and medium-sized enterprises, China National Intellectual Property Administration and the relevant departments have implemented a series of policies, including expanding IP pledge financing, strengthening IP services and so on.
Besides, China will continue to promote the IPR protection and application works, which will enhance foreign enterprises’ confidence in protecting their intellectual properties and developing in China.
