In order to better serve the economic and trade exchanges between China and Finland and to assist enterprises from both countries in addressing intellectual property (IP)-related issues and concerns in the other country, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) and the Finnish Patent and Registration Office (PRH) have, after consultations, decided to jointly launch the CNIPA-PRH Focal Point Mechanism pilot project.

Both CNIPA and PRH will designate one officer each as IP focal point to provide consulting services on IP issues related to Chinese enterprises operating in Finland and Finnish enterprises operating in China, and to support these enterprises in obtaining effective IP protection.

During the project period, Chinese enterprises with relevant inquiries may contact the CNIPA IP liaison officer at the following details:

Liaison Officer: Mr. Li Ruifeng

Email: ip_support@cnipa.gov.cn

Finnish enterprises with relevant inquiries may contact the PRH at the following details:

Email: int_affairs@prh.fi

The CNIPA-PRH Focal Point Mechanism pilot project will run for one year, from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
