Protection of intellectual property rights is necessary not only for economic development and country-to-country exchanges, but is also a matter of respecting the value of people’s work, stated Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao.
Wen was speaking yesterday in a meeting with Francis Gurry, director-general of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). Premier Wen also said his government would increase efforts to protect intellectual property rights (IPR). The Chinese government will continue to implement their IPR strategy to promote scientific innovation, economic growth, cultural prosperity and social progress, he said.
Gurry spoke highly of China’s big progress in IPR protection and said the WIPO would work with China to contribute to the global IPR protection efforts.
