China Business Leader Wants Better Domestic I/P Protection

"The state should adopt more substantial and feasible measures to protect the indigenous brands in the fields of trademark and intellectual property rights," Yang Mianmian, the CEO of China's electric appliance giant Haier Group, reportedly told the Chinese State News Agency. Yang also said the government should set up some special coordinating bodies to give timely guidance to the "inexperienced enterprises" over such cases, so as to "better protect the rights and interests of the indigenous brands overseas."
