Rui Wenbiao, director-general of Shanghai Intellectual Property Administration, attended the fair and delivered a keynote speech during the policy briefing on administrative protection.
Rui highlighted three aspects of Shanghai's exemplary work in administrative patent adjudication across three key areas: building a coordinated protection mechanism, streamlining processes to improve enforcement efficiency, and enhancing technical support to address complex disputes.
