Insights shared on industry trends

The China Intellectual Property Exchange Alliance held its first congress in Zhuhai on March 9, attracting delegates from 81 IP trading centers and service providers in China. They discussed innovations in their business methods, operational mechanisms and related policies. Participants shared their insights into copyrights, trademarks, technology funding and the commercialization of patents. The meeting also released a report on China’s patents sector in 2017. The alliance was founded at last year’s Guangdong Intellectual Property Expo, as a nonprofit cooperative organization open to various types of IP operations.
