While the Chinese government, since joining the WTO, has made greater efforts to halt piracy, successes have been minimal since China is first grappling with the creation of a modern legal structure that includes laws, enforcement mechanisms and a dispute resolution processes. The 140-page report analyzes the steps that large multi-national corporations are taking to protect their patents, copyrights and trademarks.
