At the beginning of September, the UK’s Intellectual Property Minister, Baroness Neville-Rolfe visited China. The visit aimed to push forward the collaboration between UK and China on intellectual property issues, especially with a focus on the 2nd UK-China IP Symposium. The Symposium held in Beijing brought together more than 150 representatives from UK and Chinese firms and government to address key IP issues of concern to both countries. The idea is to provide a platform for concrete exchange between the IP agencies of each country on intellectual property policy, as well as offering businesses an opportunity to build stronger relationships with their international counterparts. Furthermore, they discussed different topics on key aspects of Intellectual Property, such as enforcement, trademarks, patents and designs. At the end of this event, the UK Minister said that it will be an excellent way “on which to build the recent progress between the UK and China on improving IP relations; it is also an important part of UK-China cooperation to construct a global IP system that promotes trade, investment and innovation”. Moreover, the week-long visit aimed to further sign agreements in the areas of copyright licensing and reducing counterfeit trade on the e-commerce sites.
