The complex nature of IPR in China [abstract]
Abstract
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) are an increasingly important issue for developed economies as the
trend of globalization continues. China has been identified as perhaps the worst violator of IPR in the
world. The U.S., as the world super power, must constructively pressure China to improve the
implementation and enforcement of intellectual property rights. Global trade, foreign investment, and
economic growth not only between the two countries, but also for the rest of the world will suffer if
nothing is done.
