DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE
United States Patent and Trademark
Office
[Docket No. PTO–C–2011–0056]
Request for Comments on Intellectual
Property Enforcement in China
United States Patent and
Trademark Office, Department of
Commerce.
ACTION: Request for written submissions
from the public.
AGENCY:
As China has become a major
trading partner for the United States,
U.S. rights holders are increasingly
seeking to protect and enforce their
intellectual property (IP) in that
country. China’s patent and trademark
offices are now among the largest in the
world in terms of filings, and its IP
enforcement system is being
increasingly utilized by U.S. rights
holders. Ensuring that the Chinese IP
system works in a fair and timely
manner for U.S. innovators is a top
priority for the U.S. Government.
To that end, the United States Patent
and Trademark Office (USPTO), in
collaboration with other U.S.
Government agencies, is leading an
effort to identify and assess the
challenges U.S. inventors are facing
with China’s judicial and administrative
patent enforcement systems. The
USPTO would like to address the
concerns of rights holders by working
with them to identify problems—such
as difficulties in gathering evidence,
meeting evidentiary requirements,
protecting proprietary information,
obtaining adequate damages, and
enforcing preliminary injunctions—to
then find ways to address these issues
with the Chinese Government.
As part of this effort, the USPTO, in
coordination with the White House
Intellectual Property Enforcement
Coordinator (IPEC), has conducted a
series of roundtables to obtain the views
of diverse members of the patent
community who have first-hand
experience enforcing their patents in
China. Roundtables were held on July
19, 2011, in Washington, DC; on July 26,
2011, in Beijing, China; on July 29,
2011, in Shanghai, China; and on
August 1, 2011, in Guangzhou, China.
