Assessing Intellectual Property Compliance in Contemporary China

The book explores China's journey in adhering to the Trade-Related Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) Agreement following its WTO accession in 2001. It highlights the disparity between China's revised intellectual property laws and their enforcement, revealing ongoing infringements. Through an interdisciplinary lens that incorporates international relations and law, the text argues for a compliance strategy that aligns with national interests, suggesting that economic motivations can enhance the enforcement of IP laws within specific jurisdictions.
