CNIPA Deputy Commissioner Attends the 7th Qingdao Multinationals Summit

The 7th Qingdao Multinationals Summit was recently held. Zhang Zhicheng, Deputy Commissioner of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech at the summit's main forum. Zhang, together with Wang Guiying, Vice Governor of Shandong Province, addressed the summit's closed-door meeting on intellectual property (IP) policy.

Zhang noted that CNIPA has continuously strengthened IP protection for foreign enterprises by improving top-level design, enhancing communication mechanisms and increasing the effectiveness of IP protection, achieving positive results. As 2026 marks the start of China's 15th Five-Year Plan period, China will provide higher standards, more practical measures, and better services to further strengthen its IP protection system, and enhance IP enforcement, fostering a more favorable business environment for foreign enterprises.

During the closed-door meeting, officials from relevant CNIPA departments introduced China's latest IP protection policies and engaged in in-depth discussions with representatives of nearly 30 foreign enterprises on issues of mutual interest.(Sourced from CNIPA Website)
