‘The rapid evolution of China from an “emerging” to a mature intellectual property jurisdiction has far-reaching implications for the law, policy and practice of IP, and their links with competition and technology law. Produced in the year China rose to fourth rank globally as user of the international patent system, this volume is an invaluable guide for the policymaker, the analyst and the practitioner alike, setting a thorough exposition of the substantive law and its application within a broader policy context, and offering a comprehensive, timely overview of an IP system just at the time it begins to assume central significance on the world stage.’

‘The pioneering studies in this book examine the fundamental role of intellectual property and technology laws as China is moving from “made in China” to “created in China”. This book also helps us to understand about the interplay between China’s intellectual property protection system and the potential for transition of China’s economy, and provides numerous means to deal with the legislative difficulties in China’s innovation-oriented strategy.’
