A delegation from the State Intellectual Property Administration and Hubei Intellectual Property Bureau visited Wuhan Economic and Technological Development Zone (WHDZ) in Wuhan, central China's Hubei province, on Aug 30, to check and evaluate the work of the national intellectual property (IP) pilot area in the zone.
The team members listened to a work report, checked work materials, and spoke with directors of the pilot area, to learn more about their work.
After careful analysis, they agreed to pass the IP pilot area in all areas of inspection.
At the meeting, the delegation affirmed the zone's achievements in intellectual property management during the three-year pilot period.
Over the three years, WHDZ took the lead in comprehensive reform work in IP management among development zones and high-tech zones in the country, making trademark and copyright management services part of the IP work department.
The zone also opened the city's first district-level IP transaction market, and was selected to build the China Wuhan (automobile and parts) IP rapid rights protection center.
Li Lin, executive deputy director of the zone's administrative committee, said at the meeting that WHDZ will enhance its innovation capability in IP work, as well as application, protection, management and service abilities.
