New department in the State IP Office
The State Intellectual Property Office recently set up a protection coordination department, responsible for organizing and coordinating IPR protection nationwide and work related to the implementation of the national IP strategy.
It was created after the former coordination and administration department was renamed the patent administration department.
The new department is responsible for formulating and promoting the implementation plans of the national IP strategy, boosting the establishment of inter-departmental coordination mechanisms of the national IP strategy work, and strengthening the overall coordination of strategy implementation. The patent administration department will also draft the general and specific policies of IPR protection work nationwide, coordinating the special actions of IPR protection and overseeing IPR-related law-enforcement.
