BEIJING, Nov.13 (Xinhua) -- Senior officials from
China and the United States have vowed to further strengthen cooperation on
intellectual property protection.
China attaches great importance to the United States'
experiences of intellectual property protection and would like to learn from its
advanced technological management measures on combating internet piracy, said
Liu Binjie, deputy director of the State Press and Publication Administration.
Liu had a closed-door meeting with Jon Dudas, under
secretary of the U.S. Department of Commerce for Intellectual Property, on
Monday.
"We exchanged views on laws and policies on how to
fight internet piracy in China, the implementation of intellectual property
regulations and the closer cooperation between the two sides," Liu told
reporters after the one-hour discussion.
According to Liu, the United States and China have
designated special liaison officers to deal with intellectual property projects
and called for them to hold their first meeting as soon as possible. In the
long-term, they will hold visits annually.
Dudas, who is also the director of the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office, said the U.S. side was willing to share experiences with
China on anti-piracy.
He said the United States would send experts to train
Chinese intellectual property officials, and would invite them to visit the
Cyber-Crime Division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
Dudas also congratulated China on its 100-day
nationwide intensive anti-piracy campaign, calling the campaign "useful and
encouraging".
