Abstract

The note examines China's efforts to enhance the protection of famous and well-known trademarks, particularly in light of its accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) and its obligations under the TRIPs Agreement. It highlights the challenges China faces in aligning its trademark laws with international standards, including inconsistent enforcement, cultural attitudes toward intellectual property, and the impact of regional protectionism. Despite legislative reforms, such as the 2002 amendments to the Trademark Law and the Implementing Regulations, enforcement remains uneven, affecting both domestic and foreign trademark owners.
