The State Intellectual Property Office recently named the Chengdu high-tech industry zone a "State-level IP demonstration park", the first of its kind in western China. The local government said the move reflects the successful implementation of the city's IP strategies and the zone's contribution in innovation. SIPO also conferred the honor on nine other industry parks across the country including Beijing's Zhongguancun innovation park. The title is valid until the end of 2015.
