IP Services Assist China's Sci-tech Self-reliance Drive: Official

China's intellectual property services have supported the country in moving faster toward greater self-reliance in science and technology, a senior IP official said April 24.

Shen Changyu, head of the CNIPA, said the administration has offered high-efficiency patent acquisition in major scientific research programs and sent IP specialists to enterprises, universities, and institutions in the fields of chips, new energy, and biomedicine.

The administration has intensified efforts in building national fast IP protection centers, providing "one-stop" services for quick IP review, verification, and protection. It established national and local sub-centers across the country to offer guidance to Chinese entities on resolving overseas IP disputes.
