CNIPA Invites NPC Deputies and CPPCC Members for Special Research on Key Supervised Proposals

WISECODE Take

The CNIPA's joint research in Guizhou on July 27, 2026, led by Deputy Commissioner Zhang Zhicheng alongside the NPC and the Supreme People's Court, signals a significant consolidation of judicial and administrative IP enforcement in China. This high-level coordination aims to build a comprehensive IP management system, meaning future IP disputes will face multi-agency enforcement rather than isolated administrative actions. For Taiwanese businesses with Chinese markets, this increases enforcement efficiency but also escalates compliance risks, though companies with zero Chinese presence remain unaffected. Zhidian's China Patent Portfolio Assessment service can help identify risks beforehand. We recommend auditing patent maps for core products in China and preserving detailed R&D records to secure prior-use rights.
