Blueprint for IPR cooperation under BRI framework needed

The third Belt and Road High-level Conference on Intellectual Property Rights, held in Beijing last week, which emphasized efforts to promote the development of IPR cooperation, is expected to inject more IPR elements into high-quality cooperation between China and the countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative. Yet China still needs to address some problems, from the lack of practical cooperation projects to the cultivation of IPR talents, trademarks and brands, and the strengthening of service cooperation with patent agencies. China should give full play to their potential, guide them to make rational use of the World Intellectual Property Organization's global service system, and improve their overseas IPR distribution and cooperation capacity. China should also carry out overseas IPR protection consulting services, provide training and legal consulting services required by enterprises, and strengthen early warning and prevention mechanisms for IPR infringements.
