¡€Putting theory into practice. Quite a few of the achievements of CSIPR are practical and constructive, which are often adopted by the governments at all levels when they make the relevant policies on Intellectual Property. In recent years, we have participated in the drafting and testifying process of some laws and regulations, such as Civil Code, Copyright Law, Trade Mark Law, Patent Law and Regulation on Protection of Information Internet Dissemination Right, etc. In addition, we have submitted some consultative reports to the relevant ministries and the local government which bring about great social influence.
¡€Carrying on the academic exchanges in various forms. CSIPR has established the long-term friendly cooperative relations with Hokkaido University, the key IPR research institution authorized by Japanese Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. At the same time, we keep in close touch with dozens of academic institutes, universities and other entities from the U. S., Italy, Germany and France by carrying on academic communication and exchanging the visiting scholars on a large scale.
¡€Attaching great importance to the professional trainings of highly- qualified IPR experts. CSIPR staffs engage in the teaching of Civil & Commercial Law and Intellectual Property Rights Law for years. We have enrolled 15 groups of LL.M candidates and 5 groups of LL.D candidates respectively. After graduating from our university, they become the key professionals and leaders of central and local governments, universities and institutes.
