Intellectual Property China

Meaning

The body of legally recognized rights that protect creations of the mind—such as inventions, literary and artistic works, designs, and symbols—within the jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China. This encompasses patents, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets, and is governed by specific national laws and regulations, including adherence to international treaties. Securing Intellectual Property (IP) rights in China is a critical, complex process for any global health or technology company operating or manufacturing in the region.
