The province's first intellectual property volunteer team recently began working in the coastal city Qingdao.

Led by the Laoshan District Intellectual Property Office and the district committee of the Communist Youth League, the team is mostly composed of local college and university students.

Volunteers will spread intellectual property knowledge, especially among managerial and R&D personnel, help with patent applications and provide other services.

Students will benefit from improved knowledge and experience gained through the volunteer activities, organizers said.
