Since joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China has strengthened its legal framework and amended its IPR and related laws and regulations to comply with the WTO Agreement on Traded-Related Aspect of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs). The reform of the PRC intellectual property system to comply with the international standards of the WTO’s Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement has played and continues to play a pivotal part in this endeavor.

Protection of IP in China follows a two-track system. The first and most prevalent is the administrative track, whereby an IP rights holder files a compliant at the local administrative office. The second is the judicial track, whereby complaints are filed through the court system.

We have a three-level security gate for the intellectual property protection, which is;

• Level One: All agents will sign NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) at the beginning of the relationship;

• Level Two: We investigate the providers’ IP history carefully. 

• Level Three: Our office staffs cooperate with local government agents and industrial networks/associations to regularly audit providers.

With international business experiences, our resource companies, some of which possess their own intellectual property, deeply understand that intellectual property rights are the most valuable assets a business owns. The intellectual properties of our clients have been and will be protected.
