Summary of OECD-China Dialogues on Intellectual Property Rights Policy and Enforcement
---Abstract---
Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have an important role to play in helping China realise a
modernisation strategy based on technological upgrading and integration into the global economy. Through the protection they offer to inventors, IPR regimes can help promote domestic technological innovation and facilitate transfer of foreign technology. Having recognised the importance of IPRs, the Chinese government has taken great strides in the past two decades to develop a modern system of IPR legislation and to further amend it in accordance with China’s membership in the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Progress with respect to IPR enforcement, however, still falls short of the levels needed to stimulate Chinese innovation and meet the expectations of the international business community.
This report summarises two policy dialogues that the OECD organised with China in Spring 2004 on IPR issues. These dialogues aimed at assisting China in its efforts to further improve IPR policy and enforcement by sharing the experience of OECD countries on a range of issues of special relevance and interest to China. The topics addressed by the first dialogue, the Workshop on Intellectual Property Rights and Economic Development in China: Meeting Challenges and Opportunities Following WTO Entry, included: the relationship between IPR, innovation and economic performance; links between anti-trust and IPR policies; policy and institutional coherence in modern IPR regimes; special challenges facing developing nations in regard to IPR protection; and enforcement of IPRs in China. The second dialogue, the Seminar on Intellectual Property Rights Issues Related to Public Research Institutions, concentrated on practical policy and implementation issues related to the protection and dissemination of IPR resulting from publicly funded research.
Drawing on the presentations and discussions of each event, this Report offers general messages on the various topics discussed and specific messages focused on China.
