On Oct. 21st, the International Standard Copyright Protection Symposium was held in Beijing. The International Standard Organization (ISO) expressed the acknowledgement to China for its efforts on international standard copyright protection.

According to GuoHui, the leader of Discipline Inspecting of Standardization Administration of China ((hereinafter referred to as SAC), China put the fighting against piracy as an important part of its work on fighting against IP infringement. SAC has built a contacting system with network supervision departments and main websites in China. Since 2013, China has banned 23 piracy websites, established a long-term removing mechanism with 5 websites, and investigated 2 criminal cases.

Guo said that, in fighting against international standard piracy, the SAC would take two ways to deal with the problem. On one hand, SAC will cooperate with ISO to explore the extending and publishing system suitable for Chinese market to extend the international standard marketing and distribution; on the other hand, it will build a long-term mechanism of fighting against international standard piracy through the cooperation with the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People' Court, and the Ministry of Public Security.

At present, the international standard network infringement is very complicated. According to this, Guo hoped that ISO would take a lead to build a linkage mechanism of fighting against international standard infringement among the standardization administration of all countries, namely, through information share and collaboration, making joint efforts to fight against transnational infringement and crimes on international standard.
