BEIJING (Reuters) - China will strengthen punishment of intellectual property rights violations and provide equal protection to both Chinese and foreign companies, the head of the intellectual property rights office said on Tuesday.
Shen Changyu, commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office, told reporters on the sidelines of China's annual meeting of parliament the regulator will also provide equal protection to big companies as well as small-and-medium businesses.
