-KIPO is to urge China to protect Korean companies' intellectual property rights including Korean trademarks in China.-

KIPO's Commissioner HA Dong-man is having high-level talks with AN Qinghu, the director of the SAIC's Trademark Office on June 2, 2004 in Daejeon.

*This meeting has been planned to discuss the matters of cooperation about trademark which were agreed at the talk with the Senior Deputy Director of SAIC on June 2, 2003.

The talk is found to be very timely because the issue of protecting overseas intellectual property rights has been rising among the Korean companies whose intellectual property rights have been infringed in China.

Commissioner Ha is going to ask the Chinese government to make an effort to settle disputes over trademarks and enhance protection over Korean trademarks in China.

In addition to that, through director-level talks the two countries are going to discuss the common concerns on the whole intellectual property: holding trademark specialist meetings, holding seminars on protection of trademark, etc.

As of Feb 2004, among the total 253 cases of intellectual property right infringements, the number of the cases in Asia reach 138. Infringements in China take up the biggest part in Asia with 60 cases(43.5%), among which trademark infringements and disputes account for more than half.
