Sources from the December 21 national IP enforcement meeting said that the IP administration across the country has made great progress in IP enforcement: the Thunderstorm and Skynet campaigns continue to advance; 41 local IP offices join the 5·26 Project, and the national IP enforcement assistance centers amount to 61.

According to SIPO deputy commissioner Gan Shaoning, during the national campaigns from April 26 to May 26, the local administrative authorities waged campaigns to combat frauds relating to patent, in particular group and repeated infringements, which seriously curbed patent frauds and effectively upheld the legitimate rights and interests of right holders and the public.

IP administrations nationwide this year put more emphasis on bolstering enforcement by all possible means. As of now, there are two groups of 26 units as protection focal bases.
