China will create sound IPR protection environment for foreign-funded enterprises in China, sternly strike a blow against IPR infringement and provide service for foreign-invested enterprises, denoted Tian Lipu, Commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office on May 10.

On the very day, Tian Lipu, together with the principals from the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Public Security, the General Administration of Customs and the Supreme People's Procuratorate visited the branches of foreign-funded enterprises in Tianjin and listened to their opinions and suggestions to China's IPR protection work.

Tian Lipu said, "effectively protecting IPRs and severely combating IPR infringement is a common challenge of the world and Chinese government's decision in protecting IPRs is unswerving."

According to Tian Lipu, in 2010, China will continue to consummate IPR-related laws and regulations, enhance the construction of administrative enforcement system, judicial protection system and other working mechanism to lift the efficiency and level of law enforcement, launch IPR enforcement special campaign in allusion to the influential IPR infringement phenomenon and behaviors. Meanwhile, China will go on reinforcing the public's IPR awareness and push the IPR protection work in China to a new era.                                                                                                  (From IPR in China)
