I noticed that the integration trend of Intellectual Property was more and more confirmed. We looked forward to expand the Intellectual Property operations more in society, in the universities, enterprises, research and training institutions.
We hold free training and extracurricular programs for students, then we would issue certificates to people who completed the course. These certificates would facilitate students to have basic knowledge on Intellectual Property after they graduate and work at enterprises, agencies. The students would be the main factors that spread knowledge and awareness of Intellectual Property for businesses. In that spirit we have ushered in a new phase of cooperation between the Department of Intellectual Property and Foreign Trade University.”
