On October 3, Xian Guoyi, Director-General of Service Trade and Commercial Service Industry under MOFCOM accepted an online interview with ce.cn and indicated that “IPR is extremely important to the brand development in the exhibition sector, and MOFCOM is actively promoting the IPR protection at exhibitions”.
