Intellectual property protection: emphasizing on communication and holding on enforcement
(China IP)
Updated: 2010-08-25

China IP: Were you assigned to China or did you choose to work in China?

Mr. Pandolfi: I personally applied for this job. I found the job vacancy and was interested to have a try. I have been worked for many years on cooperation between China and Europe. A great deal of time in my career has been dedicated to cooperation in general. The first time I came to China was in 1993. Two years later some Chinese leaders were sent to Europe for an exchange. I went to China as part of the cooperation exchange. In 2007 I applied for this job.

As for the details of exchange, we cooperated with 13 main authorities related with intellectual property. One main focus today is the enforcement of IP laws. To be exact, we bring Chinese experts together with European exports and help them exchange thoughts and opinions. They illustrate how the laws are enforced in China and how the laws are maintained in Europe, as well as highlight the similarities and differences. Based on the questions taken onto tables, they are able to revitalize the laws. The purpose is for a common understanding, or a better understanding of what the effective mechanism for enforcement may be.

All IPR2 cooperation partners are very actively involved in the National Intellectual Property Strategy and in the annual action plans. This makes our working environment extremely dynamic and exciting.

China IP: As the important cooperation program between EU and China, what kinds of technical supports does IPR2 project provide?

Mr. Pandolfi: Providing expertise is the key function of the IPR2 cooperation: by bringing European and Chinese experts in contact with government officials, cooperation addresses issues from law revision to enforcement procedures and training measures. The exchange between China and Europe clarifies the scope of IPR protection frameworks and increases confidence in dealing with IPR procedures. The wealth of information created through those exchanges remains with the involved agencies and in part is made available to the general public and industry. The IPR cooperation is implemented together with government officials. The support to industry comes as a consequence of the increased capacity of national agencies to provide services to the users of the IP system. Having said that, a number of support services are becoming available as spin offs of the IPR2 cooperation. Training material is published on the project web site www.ipr2.org ; to mention a few, both Chinese and European users can find easy to read IPR guides (roadmaps), a search tool on IP law, and manuals on IPR protection in specific areas.

China IP: In which aspects is IPR1 different from IPR2? What are your expectations for IPR3?

Mr. Pandolfi: When IPR1 was written, China was pursuing accession to WTO. Consequently, work focused on making IP laws compliant to the requirements for accession. Now, as we have just discussed, IPR2 includes the implementation of the law and law enforcement in its portfolio. Both the EU and China are considering the opportunity for an IPR3 cooperation framework. At this stage I know too little to reply precisely. I have set a personal target: If there is an IPR3 project, my aim is to write to you using the Chinese language.

China IP: What do you think of IP cooperation between countries?

Mr. Pandolfi: For the majority of the past 20 years I have been involved in IPR cooperation activities and I always find this work extremely rewarding. As you know, the protection of intellectual property is a discipline evolving under the changing demands of international trade. The progress in intellectual property issues, achieved in the international arena through cooperation measures, makes the investments in cooperation worthwhile to both partners.

China IP: With economic development, the Chinese government and companies are placing more importance on IP protection. Compared with the EU, China started late in this area, is there any valuable experience for China to learn from?

Mr. Pandolfi: On one hand, the filing of IP rights has grown in China at double digit rates year after year. At the same time we can observe that Chinese companies use their acquired IP rights as business tools and company assets. On the other hand, the policy side consistently offers backing to increasing the quality of the IP rights, to assure better legal certainty at all stages and to promote China-owned technologies and brands. Under these conditions, the development of China’s IP rights can be expected to continue its established progress.

IPR protection pursues a balance of interests between right holders and users of the system. As such, an IPR protection system adapts over time to best suit the economic situation. Having said that, similarities exist between the Chinese and the European IP framework, thanks to the long tradition of cooperation.

IP protection depends very much on international trade. It has become so important because international trade is also increasing. Companies doing business in different countries face similar situations for IP protection everywhere in the world. The cooperation between China and Europe is to harmonize and to reduce the differences. China is more open. Companies are more likely to take a look.

China IP: Many enterprises in China, including European enterprises, find IP protection a troublesome problem. What do you think?

Mr. Pandolfi: The Chinese business use IP as an asset and use it very efficiently. IP is a very strong part of a company’s assets. It happens that sometimes European companies coming to China are not prepared to use IP rights in a tactical way. Every company going outside their home country has to get prepared for the local IP system. And I have to say some companies don’t get prepared to use local IP rights. There are cases where intellectual property is used for extremes. If you look at the figures issued in official reports, you will see that there are more patent litigation cases in Chinese courts than in United States. Different countries have different practices of IPR enforcement, but we see already that Chinese companies make use of intellectual property rights in an extremely competitive way.

China IP: Intellectual property became one of the tree major topics in U.S.-China strategic and economic dialogue 2010. Days ago, America put China on the “International Piracy Watch List.” What do you think of such international IP issues?

Mr. Pandolfi: On one hand, it’s true that foreign companies feel they won’t receive equal treatment when they come to China. For IP, they also think they won’t be treated in a fair way. What I think is that China started its IP protection system just 25 or 30 years ago. The system has been making strides in a stable and fast way. There are different levels on IP protection in a country as large as China, but the practice or IP protection can not be changed at once in the entire country.

On the other hand, if IP is perceived from an international angle, it is no longer a simple legal issue; political and economical backgrounds are always taken into consideration. Chinese intellectual property policy is issued by the central government and carried out by local organizations and institutions. Differences exist in the enforcement level. China’s national IP strategy, which has been in implemented for the past three years - and will extend to 2020 - will create a more comprehensive and fairer IP enforcement environment. I am confident that the difficulties faced by companies today will fade away in the future.
