Cross-Straits IP partnership expands

People from Taiwan will be allowed to work as patent agents on the mainland this year, said Tian Lipu, commissioner of the State Intellectual Property Office. Fujian was selected to be the first pilot province because of its proximity to the island. Last year, 34 people from Taiwan acquired patent agent licenses in Fujian, which is double the number in 2011. Patent agents from Taiwan will bring about advanced patent management strategies and more convenient services to Taiwan-funded companies, said local IP officials.
