Protection of well known trademarks in China
Article Abstract:
China protects well known trademarks by its national law and international agreements. China is a party to the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights. China also has relevant laws for product quality and unfair competition besides its own trademarks law. A Trademark Office registers trademarks and decides cases upon unregistered marks. A continuing problem is inadequate enforcement rather than legislation.
