The Exhibition Will Build A Firewall For Intellectual Property Protection.

In 2010, China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia exhibition have come to a close. It is understood that more than 20 days of exhibition disputes and complaints about product patents were received by the exhibition office at the 5 day exhibition, and the disputes and complaints were dealt with in accordance with the public prosecution process. Most of these complaints and disputes involve domestic enterprises violating the intellectual property rights of foreign exhibitors. Among them, more than a dozen exhibitors of suspected infringement enterprises have been suspended and five or six exhibitors have filled out written complaints in 24 hours.

Therefore, it is suggested that both parties should solve the problem through normal judicial procedures after the exhibition.
