Joint IP operation celebrates success

Guangdong and Hong Kong customs officials said that "remarkable achievements" were made in the campaigns against cross-border infringements on intellectual property rights under the Guangdong-Hong Kong joint operation mechanism on IP cases.

The comments were made at a press conference late last month.

The collaboration was established in 2003, following the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement, the first free trade agreement concluded by the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong.
