Advices had been drawn by the Officials of Taiwan's Intellectual Property Office (IPO) from its mainland Chinese counterparts in Taipei yesterday regarding the process of safeguarding the intellectual property rights (IPR) of the Taiwanese companies against infringement in China.
IPO Director-General Wang Mei-hua in a meeting with a visiting group of Chinese officials said that Taiwan’s wish that the Chinese government should form some consultation service windows in major cities around China so that it can assist Taiwanese companies whose intellectual properties have been pirated.
"Quite unlike in Taiwan, where victims of IPR piracy go to the court directly for their complaints, similar cases were handled in administrative offices in China," Wang noted.
For Taiwanese music producers, it is required to approach a semi-official Chinese agency which is based in Hong Kong first for an approval certificate before their publications or products enter the mainland Chinese markets.
‘They also complained that the fees that they have collected in China for karaoke music download authorization were disproportionate compared to that collected in Taiwan.” Wang said.
