(一)中国参加知识产权保护国际公约的情况
During the process of its accession to these international conventions, treaties and agreements, China has always been active in taking part in such activities as prescribed by them, and it has won worldwide recognition for its sincere attitude of adhering to these conventions, treaties and agreements as well as its ability to undertake these international responsibilities.
此外,中国还在积极研究加入其他知识产权国际条约。如中国目前已经着手制定和修改法律,为加入《世界知识产权组织版权条约》(WCT)与《世界知识产权组织表演和录音制品条约》(WPPT)作准备。
While improving its legal system, China, since the 1980s, has acceded one after the other to the major international conventions and agreements for the protection of IPR. Since 1980 when China first acceded to the Convention Establishing the World Intellectual Property Organization, it has acceded successively to the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property, Treaty on Intellectual Property in Respects of Integrated Circuits, Madrid Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Marks, Bern Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, Universal Copyright Convention, Convention for the Protection of Producers of Phonograms against Unauthorized Duplication of their Phonograms, Patent Cooperation Treaty, Nice Agreement Concerning the International Classification of Goods and Service for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks, Budapest Treaty on the International Recognition of the Deposit of Microorganisms for the Purposes of Patent Procedure, Locarno Agreement Establishing an International Classification for Industrial Design, Strasbourg Agreement Concerning the International Patent Classification, International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants and WTO’S Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of IPR (See Table 2 for information about China’s accession to international conventions for the protection of IPR).
中国密切关注国际知识产权领域的发展动态,积极组织相关部门参与世界贸易组织(WTO)、世界知识产权组织(WIPO)、国际植物新品种联盟(UPOV)、亚太经合组织(APEC)、亚欧会议(ASEM)等国际组织的国际知识产权制度的改革和国际知识产权问题的谈判。如中国积极参与了在WTO与贸易有关的知识产权理事会(TRIPS理事会)主持下进行的,作为WTO多哈回合新一轮谈判重要组成部分的公共健康、地理标识、遗传资源、传统知识等知识产权议题的谈判;中国多次组织相关部门参加了世界知识产权组织举行的会议,中国代表团就中国知识产权制度取得的成绩,以及中国对国际专利制度、遗传资源、传统知识及民间文学艺术等国际知识产权热点问题的看法作了重要发言,阐明了中国的原则和立场;中国还组团参加了UPOV、APEC、ASEM等国际组织的会议,积极宣传中国的知识产权保护成就,并与其他国家进行了有益的交流。

Paying close attention to the development of the situation concerning IPR worldwide, China has actively organized its relevant departments to participate in reforms on IPR system and international negotiations about IPR issues, initiated by international organizations such as WTO, WIPO, UPOV, APEC, ASEM, etc. For example, China actively took part in the negotiations about such subjects as public health, geographical indications, genetic resources, traditional knowledge and other IPR issues, which were considered to be important parts of the new round Doha negotiation of WTO and which were presided over by TRIPS Council. China organized its relevant departments to attend many conferences held by WIPO, at which Chinese delegation made important speeches on the progress China had made in its IP system as well as on such hot IP issues in the world as international patent system, genetic resources, traditional knowledge, folklore and so on. These speeches fully showed China’s principles and attitude. China also attends conferences organized by UPOV, APEC or ASEM, at which Chinese delegates actively propaganda the progress Chinese government had made in IP protection, and had beneficial exchange with their counterparts from the rest of the world.
