on the Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights to share best practice with stakeholders
– including industry bodies and European and international enforcement bodies – on
the approach to tackling intellectual property (IP) enforcement.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>
</p><p>The Government also plays an active role in Europol and Interpol intellectual
property enforcement action and undertakes direct bilateral action where operationally
necessary.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Through our network of overseas IP attachés
the Government continues to build strong relations with government departments, industry
bodies and enforcement agencies. For example, in September the Chinese Government
will host the second UK-China IP Symposium which I shall be attending. The Symposium,
which will have a clear enforcement component, is an opportunity for UK and Chinese
companies to interact with senior policymakers from both countries on a range of intellectual
property topics. The UK Government will be coordinating a range of activities in China
that week, engaging with the Supreme People’s Court and the Ministry of Public Security.</p><p>
