Shanghai Intellectual Property Protection Center Launched

The pace is picking up to develop a new national intellectual property protection, or IP center, in Shanghai in East China.

A meeting was held in the city on March 16 to advance the work of the Shanghai Intellectual Property Protection Center, designed to be a national platform for collaborative IP protection and services.

Rui Wenbiao, director of the Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration, or SIPA, said that developing the Shanghai Intellectual Property Protection Center was of great significance for enhancing IP protection and services in China.

He urged the center to accelerate the establishment of a full-chain, one-stop IP collaborative protection system.

At the meeting, a letter from the CNIPA confirming that Shanghai Intellectual Property Protection Center had passed acceptance was announced. The relevant functions and services of the center were then introduced.
