摘要
INTELLECTUAL property is highly valued the world over,including in China.The Decision on Some Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening Reform,released in November 2013 at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Communist Party of China(CPC)Central Committee,said explicitly:"We will strengthen the application and protection of intellectual property rights(IPR),improve the technological innovation incentive mechanism,and explore ways to set up IPR courts."On August 31,2014,the National People's Congress,China's top legislature,voted to establish IPR courts in Beijing,Shanghai,and Guangzhou.They soon came into being,constituting a milestone in China's IPR protection.
