A Fake Right Of Priority Under The Cross-Strait Agreement On Intellectual Property Right Protection And Cooperation, Ping-Hsun Chen Oct 2015

A Fake Right Of Priority Under The Cross-Strait Agreement On Intellectual Property Right Protection And Cooperation, Ping-Hsun Chen

Ping-Hsun Chen

On June 26, 2010, Taiwan and China entered into a “Cross-Strait Agreement on Intellectual Property Rights Cooperation and Protection” (“Cross-Strait IP Agreement”).

Peter K. Yu

In From Pirates to Partners: Protecting Intellectual Property in China in the Twenty-First Century, I criticized the ineffectiveness and short-sightedness of the U.S.-China intellectual property policy. As I argued, the approach taken by the administration in the 1980s and early 1990s had created a cycle of futility in which China and the United States repeatedly threatened each other with trade wars only to back down in the eleventh hour with a compromise that did not provide sustainable improvements in intellectual property protection. Since I wrote that article five years ago, China has joined the WTO and undertook a complete overhaul …
