2018/03/09

On March 5, the First Session of the 13th National People's Congress convened in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. Premier Li keqiang pointed out, in his proposal for the report on the work of the government in 2018, that the relevant laws and regulations should be improved based on IPR protection, contracts maintenance, uniform market, equal exchange and fair competition. All infringement acts should be dealt with seriously by law, and property rights disputes should be discriminated and corrected by law. We will strengthen IPR protection and enforce enforce a punitive compensation system for IPR infringements.
