Undersecretary of the Ministry of Economic Development and the Deputy Commissioner of the State Office of the People's Republic of China Intellectual Property Office (SIPO), He Zhimin, have defined an action plan in order to strengthen the cooperation between the two countries in spreading the culture of innovation through the improvement and strengthening of national systems of protection of industrial property.
Under this agreement the two national offices, Italian Patent and Trademark office Mise (DGLC-UIBM) and the SIPO, have pledged to spread, to businesses and citizens, in their respective territories, awareness about counterfeiting and the proper tools of defense, to enable services for users and for SMEs to transfer the mutual knowledge on the latest developments in the field of industrial property and anti-counterfeiting.
This could be, undoubtedly, a good starting point to stop counterfeit products from China.
