The provincial government plans to invest 5 million yuan ($823,500) annually over the next five years to support local brands. The funds will be used for trademark-related rewards, case investigations, enforcement campaigns, overseas trademark protection and training programs. According to the plan, the province will have 400,000 valid trademarks by 2018, including 300 with national geographical indication status and at least three with a high international reputation.
