CHINA on Tuesday pledged to set up more intellectual property protection centers, according to the State Intellectual Property Office.

China has created 19 intellectual property protection centers nationwide, said Shen Changyu, head of the SIPO, at a press conference.

Shen said China is revising its Patent Law and creating a punitive damages system for intellectual property infringement to raise the cost of illegal behavior and create a deterrent effect.

“China will strengthen intellectual property protection,” he said.
