China to enhance int'l cooperation on IPR protection
Updated: 2007-06-27 11:12
Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi said Tuesday China attaches great importance
to intellectual property protection and will enhance international
cooperation on the issue.
Wu made the remarks when addressing the ongoing International Symposium
on Geographical Indications (GIs) in Beijing, jointly organized by the
World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the State
Administration for Industry and Commerce.
A GI is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and
possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that place of origin. A
GI usually consists of the name of the place of origin of the goods.
Wu said she appreciates the efforts of the WIPO and China's trademark
authorities in using GIs to promote economic and rural development.
It is the first time that the symposium has been held in Asia and it
would have a far-reaching influence on Asia and all developing countries,
said Wu.
