China has revealed a roadmap aimed at promoting efforts to build itself into an intellectual property (IP) powerhouse, according to the National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) on Thursday.

The newly released 2025 Promotion Plan for Intellectual Property Powerhouse Construction clearly defines 118 specific tasks across seven key areas, including improving IP systems and strengthening IP protection.

A NIPA official stated that the plan focuses on three institutional upgrades -- refining IP laws and regulations, optimizing core IP policies, and establishing rules for emerging fields and specialized technologies.

IP protection efforts will be intensified through strengthened judicial safeguards, upgraded administrative protection, and multi-party collaboration, the official added.

The plan also prioritizes expanding public IP services and fostering growth in IP-related service industries, the official emphasized.
