Practice over the past two decades and more has shown that the Chinese government has made arduous efforts to protect IPR. China has achieved a noticeably great improvement in IPR protection, which took the developed countries several decades and even over a century to attain. However, the Chinese government is clearly aware that, in a large developing country with a population of 1.3 billion, relatively backward economy and low level of science and technology, a complete IPR protection system cannot be established overnight. China has a long way to go in this regard, and is faced with heavy tasks in IPR protection.

At present, there are still IPR infringements in certain areas and fields in China, some of which are very serious. The awareness of the importance of IPR in Chinese society as a whole needs to be further enhanced. Meanwhile, China's IPR protection work is facing new challenges in the course of economic globalization and rapid development of science and technology worldwide. In accordance with the requirements of the concept of scientific development, the Chinese government will adopt more effective policies and measures in the process of building a well-off society in an all-round way and developing a harmonious society, exerting efforts to raise its IPR protection work to a new level.

For many years China has received active support and assistance from the international community in the establishment of its IPR protection system. In the future, the Chinese government will continue to earnestly execute its international obligations in this regard, enhance its cooperation with various countries and international organizations with a more active, open attitude, and join hands with them in promoting the establishment of a sound system and environment favorable for IPR protection worldwide.
