Ultra-sixty percent of service enterprises passively treat intellectual property disputes

Popularization of legal knowledge needs to be improved Data shows that 100% of the respondents who participated in the survey believe that registered trademarks, apparel design styles, and patents belong to the category of apparel intellectual property, and 95.20% of respondents believe that store decoration belongs to this category. . 90.10% of the respondents had heard of the "PRC Patent Law," "Trademark Law," and "Copyright Law." More than 60% of the respondents had not heard of the WTO's Trips agreement or "protection of industrial property rights." Conventions such as the Paris Convention, the Universal Copyright Convention, and the Invention Award Regulations. 90.10% of respondents were aware of our country's intellectual property laws, and they also had a certain understanding of the types of intellectual property related to clothing. This shows that China's garment enterprises have a good sense of intellectual property rights. However, the respondents lacked understanding of the international intellectual property laws. If they are export-oriented enterprises, this will be very unfavorable.

Enterprises need to actively respond to disputes Among the apparel companies surveyed, 100% of companies believe that protecting their own intellectual property rights while respecting the intellectual property rights of others is beneficial to the long-term development of the company. This shows that the current industry has fully recognized the positive role of intellectual property protection. 31.05% of the surveyed companies have encountered intellectual property disputes, but only account for 37.65% of them actively handling or adopting lawsuits. Up to 62.35% of the surveyed companies take a natural attitude of letting themselves down or wait passively for the relevant departments to handle it. . This shows that Chinese service enterprises urgently need to transform the awareness of protecting intellectual property rights into actions. Especially in the frequent occurrence of infringements such as “famous brand names” and “stamped trademark”, China’s apparel companies only have the initiative to implement intellectual property protection. To seek the protection of the judiciary and the administrative authorities for industry and commerce, it is possible to obtain favorable opportunities for the long-term development of the enterprise.

Should the government take more responsibility? Who should lead the protection of intellectual property? Up to 75.62% of the surveyed companies believe that the main responsibility should be the government, 13.88% of the surveyed companies believe that the company itself should bear the main responsibility, and 8.87% and 1.63% respectively think that designers and consumers should bear the main responsibility .

In the era of knowledge economy, intellectual property can be said to be the core competitiveness of a company.

Under the present circumstances, only if the enterprises actively protect intellectual property rights can they obtain the desired results. Any external forces are limited.

Of course, with the market economy still immature, the government should play a guiding role, assume greater responsibility, listen to the voices of enterprises, and improve relevant laws and regulations.
