An alliance for intellectual property protection was recently formed in Nanjing, capital of the eastern province, with more than 130 member organizations from a wide range of professions including local prosecutors, administrators and the judiciary along with the private sector, academia and intermediary agencies.

Designed to integrate resources for better protection and provide support for the city's sustainable development, it is the country's first cross-industry, multi-departmental IPR group, said local officials.
