In order to thoroughly implement the relevant requirements of the Outline for Building a Powerful Intellectual Property Country (2021-2035), Opinions on Strengthening Intellectual Property Protection, and Beijing Intellectual Property Protection Regulations, and further standardize the city's overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance work, the Beijing Overseas Intellectual Property Rights Protection Assistance Management Measures (Trial) were issued recently.
The Measures are divided into five chapters and 22 articles, clarifying the definition, scope and working principles of overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance, proposing that Beijing establish an overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance work system with central-local coordination, cooperative sharing, horizontal interconnection and vertical intercommunication, and stipulates the responsibilities of government agencies, industry associations, service agencies and enterprises in overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance work.
The Measures clarify the specific content of overseas intellectual property dispute response guidance, including dynamic dispute monitoring, dispute case guidance, key industry guidance, diversified dispute resolution, information services, and capacity building. In addition, Beijing will provide mechanism guarantees, financial guarantees, expert guarantees, and technical guarantees for overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance work to ensure the smooth development of the city's overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance work.
The issuance of the Measures is an important achievement of the integrated system innovation task of the "two districts". It provides work guidance for Beijing to carry out overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance, provides practical guarantees for innovative entities to efficiently deal with overseas intellectual property risks and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, and provides strong support for Beijing to build an international science and technology innovation center and international exchange center, and smooth the domestic and international dual circulation.
In the next step, the Beijing Intellectual Property Office will continue to accurately connect with international high-standard economic and trade rules, improve the accuracy of overseas intellectual property rights protection assistance services, form a convenient and efficient risk warning and dispute response mechanism, and use high-level intellectual property protection to build momentum for the development of new quality productivity.
