China Will Strengthen The Protection Of Shoes And Clothing Intellectual Property Rights

Speaking on Monday in Chengdu, US officials said China will strengthen intellectual property protection and ban counterfeiting and piracy altogether. The event will be led by Vice Premier Wang Qishan.

The US Chamber of Commerce Secretary John Bryson, trade representative Ron Kirk and Secretary of agriculture Vilsack Tom, signed an agreement after the end of the November 22nd business and trade conference.

John Bryson said: "this is the first time China has embarked on the establishment of a long-term leadership system and the implementation of intellectual property rights protection. Once this agreement is implemented, all violations will be punished.

This is an important step in the protection of intellectual property rights in China, and is also a very correct step. "

At the same time, the US officials also indicated that China will enforce more government action on intellectual property protection and will measure the intensity of the implementation of the agreement by local governments.

Some websites selling infringing products will receive more rigorous scrutiny. Next year, China and the United States will implement specific activities to seek the most effective elimination of infringement measures.

The important efforts made by China in tort are of great significance to the fashion industry. Every year, the fashion industry will spend tens of millions of dollars to fight the infringing products.

China is the most important supplier of infringing goods, accounting for 66% of all US infringing goods in 2010, reaching US $124600000.
