Ministry Of Commerce: Remarks On The US Side'S Release Of The 2021 Annual Review Report On Counterfeit And Pirated Markets

In recent years, China's intellectual property protection system has been constantly improved, the intellectual property protection system has been gradually improved, and the protection of intellectual property rights has been comprehensively strengthened. China has continued to strengthen law enforcement, and has taken vigorous measures to crack down on key areas and regions where there are strong public reaction, public opinion concern and frequent infringement and counterfeiting. Chinese enterprises have invested a lot of resources to actively cooperate with government departments and right holders to crack down on infringement and piracy. China's achievements in intellectual property protection are obvious to all. According to the report on global innovation index 2021 released by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), China ranks the 12th, and the overall ranking has maintained an upward trend for six consecutive years, and some indicators are firmly in the leading position in the world. China believes that the United States should comprehensively and objectively reflect the efforts and progress made by the Chinese government and enterprises in the protection of intellectual property rights, and make a fair evaluation to avoid causing undue negative impact on enterprises.

The problem of counterfeiting and piracy has existed in the United States before and now. The United States frequently uses the so-called "notorious market report" to blame other countries, but in the report, it does not mention the counterfeiting and piracy in its own country. It is a pity that such a double standard is adopted.

It is a common challenge for all countries in the world to protect intellectual property rights and crack down on infringement and counterfeiting. Especially in today's economic globalization and the rapid development of Internet and other new technologies, the fight against infringement and counterfeiting needs the cooperation of all countries. China is willing to strengthen cooperation with other countries in the protection of intellectual property rights to create a business environment of fair competition for global enterprises.
