China should implement a national strategy of intellectual property
to improve its competitiveness, a member of China's top advisory
body said in Beijing Monday.
Wu
Boming, representing the Jiu San (September 3) Society, one of
China's eight non-communist parties, said the current situation of
intellectual property in China is worrisome, and China's
competitiveness in the field of intellectual property lags far
behind advanced countries.
The creation, possession and utilization of intellectual property
has become a key factor to gains of an enterprise or even a nation
in competitions, Wu said in a speech at the third plenary meeting
of the First Session of the 10th National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
Wu
called on government departments concerned, enterprises and social
institutions to deal with the issue of intellectual property from
"the height of a national strategy." He said China should study and
implement the intellectual property strategy in such fields as the
research of human disease gene and traditional Chinese
medicine.
China should actively take part in the adjustment of international
rules on intellectual property. Genetic resources, traditional
information and folk literature and art should also be put under
intellectual property protection, said Wu.
He
also suggested to improve policies, laws and regulations relating
to intellectual property.
