On the Morning of April 20, the First Exhibition of 100 Chinese Famous Calligraphers and Artists’ IP Culture-Related Works and Election of IP Cultural Ambassadors is held by SIPO in Beijing. SIPO Deputy Commissioner Yang Tiejun cuts the ribbon at the opening of the exhibition and delivers a speech.

Mr. Yang points out that by holding the IP culture-related painting and calligraphy exhibition and electing IP cultural ambassadors, SIPO means to strengthen IP cultural construction and promote IPR protection of painting and calligraphy works. He indicates that through the activity, the whole society should widely promote the IP cultural concepts centered with “respecting knowledge, advocating innovation and being honest and law-abiding.” Meanwhile, he hopes the IP cultural ambassadors could make joint efforts with IP administrations of all levels to create a sound innovation environment and atmosphere, so as to enable China’s painting and calligraphy art to be developed in innovation, and promote the comprehensive development of IPR protection.
