The State Intellectual Property Office Commissioner Shen Changyu last week met with Sebastian Wood, the UK ambassador to China. Shen said developing the Sino-UK relationship will ensure fruitful partnerships in the IP field. He said the two countries will cooperate by exchanging patent examiners as well as through participation in the Patent Prosecution Highway project and a number of official summits. By the end of last year, UK companies had filed 24,565 patent applications in China, with more than 10,000 granted.
