China’s intellectual property protection strength and its evaluation centering on the accession to TRIPS Agreement

Abstract

Abstract: This paper builds China's intellectual property protection strength from the aspects of intellectual property legislation protection strength and law enforcement protection strength and makes calculations by using the actual data from 1985 to 2010. The results show that China's intellectual property protection strength has always been enhanced from 1.156 to 2.980, and Chow test shows that the structural breakpoints appeared in China's intellectual property protection strength in 2001 (when China acceded to TRIPS agreement). The further Granger causality test shows that the economic development level and technological innovation ability are the factors promoting China's intellectual property protection strength, which, however, has not effectively promoted economic development and technological innovation ability due to the impact of the overall economic development level.

Key words: intellectual property, TRIPS agreement, protection strength
