BEIJING, December 9 Xinhua State Administration for Industry and commerce, Li Jianchang, said today in the press conference, China's enterprises to register the total number of registered trademarks reached 11,000, six consecutive years in the world ranked eighth, ranked first in developing countries.　　State Council News Office December 9 held a press conference, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce introduced the general Administration of industry and Commerce to solve the trademark backlog, to combat infringement of counterfeit acts. Li Jianchang said that with the deepening and enlargement of China's reform and opening-up, China has become a world trading power. Therefore, with foreign exchanges, cooperation, and trade is expanding, the use and protection of trademark intellectual property rights is more important. By the end of November, China had accepted 153,000 of the total number of trademarks applied for registration through the Madrid Treaty to China, and the world's first in six consecutive years. China's enterprises through the Madrid Treaty to apply for registration of foreign trademark total reached 11,000, six consecutive years in the world ranked eighth, ranked first in developing countries. The overseas registration of these trademarks has played an important role in expanding international exchanges and cooperation and trade. But at the same time, because some foreign regulations are not clear, or the intellectual property rights protection is not strong, many Chinese enterprises have been the infringement cases.　　Therefore, it is incumbent upon the Chinese government to support and help our enterprises to register trademarks abroad and safeguard their lawful rights and interests. Li Jianchang said that on October 5, the National IPR protection and law enforcement work teleconference, Premier Wen Jiabao has made clear that our enterprises should learn to use intellectual property rights, protect their own intellectual property rights, while respecting intellectual property rights, respect for other people's innovative results. Therefore, first, we hope that our enterprises to develop abroad, we must be familiar with the local trademark intellectual property laws and regulations. Second, because many national trademarks are registered in the former principle, so must promptly apply for trademark registration. Thirdly, China is a member of the Paris Convention and a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the trademark administration organ of the Chinese government should do a good job in safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of our enterprises to develop abroad. The State Administration of Industry and Commerce has signed a memorandum of friendship and Cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization, the United States, France and Germany to help our enterprises to maintain trademarks rights and interests in foreign countries, and has received certain results.　　Last year, for example, we successfully avoided the names of 52 big companies and were registered in Canada. During the special operation, in October, we successfully avoided the "Zhenjiang vinegar" was registered in South Korea, and the registered trademark has been revoked. November, the "Confucius Institute" was registered in Costa Rica trademark has also been revoked. Recently, we in accordance with the requirements of the General Administration, and issued a "increase in Chinese enterprises overseas trademark registration, the establishment of trademark overseas rights Protection mechanism notice", we must earnestly implement, implement well, continue to support China's corporate trademark overseas registration, help them, help them, support them to do good overseas trademark rights. But again, we have to protect the trademarks of foreign companies registered in China. Recently, December 1, we have withdrawn the assault on the British royal Badge.6 registered trademarks. Therefore, we should, as always, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of trademarks of Chinese and foreign enterprises, especially after special operations and special actions.
