The signal spinning machine delivered at the textile machinery exhibition will usher in the "strike hard" of intellectual property rights

During the 2010 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition, the organizer specially set up the Intellectual Property Office to supervise and deal with intellectual property disputes on site. A total of 29 cases of intellectual property rights infringement complaints were received within 5 days. 20 illegal exhibits were suspended.

The ITMAASIA+CITME, which is recognized by the industry as the largest in Asia, the largest number of exhibitors, the largest number of professional visitors, the highest level of technology, and the most professional, has been held since it was first held in China in 2008. The "respect for intellectual property rights, opposition to infringement and piracy" concepts and initiatives.

Industrial intellectual property protection system gradually improved

Intellectual property protection has always been a very important part of China's textile industry development strategy. Since 1997, as the organizer of the China International Textile Machinery Exhibition, the Textile Industry Sub-Council of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) has included intellectual property protection in the exhibition and the contract for the exhibition of fabrics and home textiles held in the same year. Relevant clauses. The clause not only reminds exhibitors to focus on the protection of intellectual property rights and eliminates infringements. At the same time, it also stipulates in accordance with formal contract texts with exhibitors compliance with the rules and procedures for the protection of intellectual property rights at exhibitions, and clarifies the rights and obligations of exhibitors in respect of intellectual property rights.

Although it was a rainy day, in October 2002, during the 8th China International Textile Machinery Exhibition, foreign textile manufacturers complained that similar companies in China had infringed their patent rights, causing Chinese complaints to exhibitors. Stopped the show. The incident caused a great response in the industry. To this end, the China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association actively took measures to organize a “Paper Machinery Training Industry Patent Training Course” in Beijing in November 2003, informing China’s textile machinery and equipment industry of its severe intellectual property situation. Targeted knowledge on patent law, patent search knowledge, patent litigation knowledge, knowledge of patent strategy construction, etc., provided companies with operational solutions, and invited local intellectual property at international exhibitions sponsored after 2004. The law enforcement agencies settled in the exhibition, signed the intellectual property protection commitment together with the participating companies, handled intellectual property disputes during the exhibition, and promoted the protection of intellectual property rights.

In 2005, the CCPIT formulated a series of documents such as “The Intellectual Property Rules for Exhibitions” and “Complaint Procedures for Intellectual Property Rights in Exhibitions” in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of the country, so that the intellectual property work carried out during the exhibition truly achieved a rule-based approach. . In March 2006, the "Measures for Intellectual Property Protection for Exhibitions" jointly formulated by the Ministry of Commerce, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, the National Copyright Administration, and the four ministries and commissions of the State Intellectual Property Office became the important legal basis for regulating the intellectual property rights of exhibitions.

Liu Jiaqiang, deputy secretary-general of the China Textile Machinery and Equipment Industry Association, said: “The introduction of the above policy shows that the Chinese government attaches great importance to the protection of intellectual property rights during the exhibition. International trade associations sponsored by trade associations should actively cooperate with the government and promote Industry intellectual property protection."

Intellectual Property Promotes Product Innovation

The protection of industrial intellectual property itself is like a game rule. Following and rationally using these rules will play a great role in supporting our product innovation. At present, the China National Textile and Apparel Council has signed the "Memorandum of Understanding on the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights" with Italy, Japan, Germany and other developed countries to conduct in-depth and extensive exchanges on the protection, creation and utilization of intellectual property in the textile industry.

“China and developed countries can actively explore intellectual property trade opportunities and expand the transfer and licensing of copyrights and design patents in the market.” Du Yuzhou, President of China Textile Industry Association, was established in 2009 by China Textile Industry Association and Italian Textile. The China-Italy Intellectual Property Forum co-sponsored by the Garment Federation stated. “The major technological advances and innovations in the industry require the transnational integration of proprietary technologies. In particular, companies at the front end and terminal of the industrial chain can jointly develop new patented technologies that are of systematic significance by strengthening cross-licensing of industrial patents at home and abroad. The way of intellectual property cooperation, expand intellectual property trade, and jointly enhance competitiveness."
