Mr. Tian speaks at the opening ceremony of the Sino-German IP Symposium of "Patent System: Economy and Traditional PCT-New Cooperation Mode," and delivers a keynote speech entitled "IP System Among Laws, Economies and Technologies." More than 80 people from economic, scientific and political areas of both countries and experts from SIPO and DPMA attend the symposium. After that, participants discuss in different groups around the two themes of "Patent System" and "Economy and Traditional PCT-New Cooperation Mode." The symposium is of great significance to discussing the future developing trend of IP system and the roles of IP system in the national economy and science and technology.
