The Canton Fair witnesses the development of China’s foreign trade and IPR protection, especially the progress of IPR protection in the exhibition industry. Since 1992, we’ve been working hard to protect intellectual property for30 years. We’ve put in place a comprehensive IPR dispute settlement mechanism with Complaints about and Settlement Provisions for Suspected Intellectual Property Infringement in the Canton Fair as the cornerstone. It is relatively complete and suits the Fair’s practical situation and the needs of the integration of the virtual and physical Fair, which has raised the exhibitors’ awareness on IPR protection and demonstrated the Chinese government’s determination of respecting and protecting IPR. IPR protection at the Canton Fair has become an example of IPR protection for Chinese exhibitions; the just, professional and efficient dispute settlement has won the trust and recognition of Dyson, Nike, Travel Sentry Inc and etc.
