Mr. Wang Mingda

Shen Yongfang, President of Shenzhen garment industry association, shared the "Shenzhen experience" of the protection of intellectual property rights in the clothing industry. Starting from a case of intellectual property leaked by the fashion industry group of Shenzhen garment industry, Shen Yongfang introduced the current problem of intellectual property protection in Shenzhen clothing industry. First, the object of infringement is mainly international famous brands and hot selling commodities. Two, the total number of small and medium-sized garment enterprises accounted for nearly 90% of the total number of corporate infringement subjects. Three, the total volume of foreign trade exports caused by Sino US trade friction decreased, and then stimulated the infringement of small and medium-sized enterprises. Four, there was a new infringement form of infringing goods sold on the Internet. Five, the Shenzhen clothing enterprises' "going out" intellectual property disputes increased day by day.

Later, He Ping, vice president of fashion group, spoke as an industry representative and shared the experience of protecting intellectual property rights from an enterprise perspective. Since 2004, intellectual property has been regarded as the core competitiveness of enterprise development. It has encouraged the design and research team to innovate independently. The investment in intellectual property rights has accounted for about 5% of R & D expenditure. In the company's overall patent layout, sales of patent technology and patented products account for more than 50% of the total sales of enterprises, and both patent applications and conversion rates are leading in the same industry.

Together with the China Fashion Association, the China Intellectual Property Law Research Association, the Shenzhen garment industry association, the Beijing intellectual property judicial protection research association, and the Shenzhen Intellectual Property Federation, Shenzhen will jointly publish the white paper on the protection of intellectual property rights in China's clothing industry, which will also be the first white paper on the intellectual property rights of the Chinese apparel industry.

Breaking the situation: forming the "joint protection" of the intellectual property rights in the clothing industry

At present, China is further opening up to the outside world, and the disputes of intellectual property rights in the process of internationalization of garment enterprises will also increase. "This meeting has allowed legal experts, judges and practitioners to focus on the protection of intellectual property rights in China's clothing industry. It is emphasized that the core of the clothing industry is creativity, and more importantly, the market is based on the law." Bai Xiaoli, deputy director of the Beijing Chaoyang District Lawyers Association Committee, discussed the positive significance of the forum from the perspective of judges and lawyers.

At the same time, clothing industry organizations are also actively taking action. Zhao Yabin, Deputy Secretary General of China clothing association, said: "the technology industry led by innovation, the fashion industry led by culture and the green industry led by responsibility are the future development direction of our whole industry". Shen Yongfang, President of Shenzhen garment industry association, stressed that "Shenzhen clothing industry association has always attached importance to the protection of intellectual property rights. One of the most important contents is to strengthen industry self-discipline, including social responsibility self-discipline, intellectual property self-discipline and market order self-discipline". Through the hosting of the "fashion Shenzhen Exhibition", an office of intellectual property rights is added to deal with intellectual property disputes with intellectual property law enforcement agencies. Regular activities such as "patent knowledge training lecture" and "clothing quality forum" are carried out with departments such as customs, quality supervision and administration, etc., to popularize patent knowledge, trademark registration and other legal knowledge knowledge, and actively participate in the formulation of technical standards for garment industry.

Returning to the clothing enterprises themselves, Wang Yue, executive vice president of the Shenzhen Intellectual Property Federation, said: "the greatest value of intellectual property to enterprises is to help enterprises control risks and increase market opportunities. Clothing enterprises themselves should consciously integrate intellectual property into the business competition system." "The leading enterprises in the clothing industry have the responsibility and obligation to guide the industry to be more orderly, healthier and better developed," Pu Xiang, Secretary General of the Beijing Intellectual Property Protection Research Association, said. In this regard, He Ping, vice president of fashion group, the representative of the participating enterprises, shared the relevant experience. "Because the industry chain of the clothing industry is longer, every link's intellectual property results are related to the final product presentation. With the guidance of the Shenzhen Federation of intellectual property rights, the film has made a comprehensive layout in the strategic planning of intellectual property rights, and has formulated a management system covering four aspects of intellectual property, trademark, patent and copyright to promote the effective landing of the intellectual property strategy and the affirmation of Shenzhen intellectual property rights.

It is noteworthy that in recent years, the understanding and understanding of intellectual property protection in China's clothing industry is gradually deepening. According to the 2018 annual report of the world intellectual property index published in October 16th, China's apparel industry design patent application ranks first in the world. Behind the growth data is that the healthy and orderly competition pattern of "everyone respects intellectual property rights and everyone protects intellectual property rights" is being formed just like this forum. "China's clothing enterprises should shorten the distance from manufacturers to brand dealers, and the protection of intellectual property rights is imperative."
