China has made significant strides in promoting the protection of geographical indications (GI) in recent years, with 2,523 GI products approved and 7,385 GI trademarks registered as of the end of August, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) said last Saturday. Since 2020, the direct annual output value of China's GIs has shown consistent growth. In 2023, this value surpassed 961 billion yuan, as revealed at the 13th China Intellectual Property Annual Conference. Hu Wenhui, deputy commissioner of the CNIPA, highlighted that the quality and quantity of China's GI products and trademarks rank among the highest globally. He also emphasized the importance of international cooperation, expressing China's eagerness to work with the global community to bring greater benefits to people and support high-quality economic development.
