Its rapid growth and trade surpluses have caused uneasiness in Western governments, which perceive this growth to be a result of China's rejection of international protocols that protect intellectual property and its widespread theft and replication of Western technology and products. China's major trading partners, particularly the United States, persistently criticize China for delivering, at best, half-hearted enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) norms. Despite these criticisms, Zhenqing Zhang argues that China does respect international intellectual property rights, but only in certain cases. In Intellectual Property Rights in China, Zhang addresses the variation in the effectiveness of China's IPR policy and explains the mechanisms for the uneven compliance with global IPR norms. Covering the areas of patent, copyright, and trademark, Zhang chronicles how Chinese IPR policy has evolved within the legacy of a planned economy and an immature market mechanism. In this environment, compliance with IPR norms is the result of balancing two factors: the need for short-term economic gains that depend on violating others' IPR and the aspirations for long-term sustained growth that requires respecting others' IPR. In case studies grounded in theoretical analysis as well as interviews and fieldwork, Zhang demonstrates how advocates for IPR, typically cutting-edge Chinese companies and foreign IPR holders, can be strong enough to persuade government officials to comply with IPR norms to achieve the country's long-term economic development goals. Conversely, he reveals the ways in which local governments protect IPR infringers because of their own political interests in raising tax revenues and creating jobs. 606 $aIntellectual property$xGovernment policy$zChina 606 $aIntellectual property$xPolitical aspects$zChina 606 $aIntellectual property$xEconomic aspects$zChina 606 $aPatent laws and legislation$zChina 606 $aCopyright$zChina 606 $aTrademarks$xLaw and legislation$zChina 610 $aAsian Studies. 610 $aBusiness. 610 $aEconomics. 610 $aLaw. 610 $aPolitical Science. 610 $aPublic Policy. 615 0$aIntellectual property$xGovernment policy 615 0$aIntellectual property$xPolitical aspects 615 0$aIntellectual property$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aPatent laws and legislation 615 0$aCopyright 615 0$aTrademarks$xLaw and legislation 676 $a346.5104/8 700 $aZhang$b Zhenqing$01632240 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822930203321 996 $aIntellectual Property Rights in China$93971237 997 $aUNINA
