The two sides have conducted in-depth exchanges on the latest progress in their intellectual property work, the revision of intellectual property laws and regulations and relevant policies and measures, and the promotion of cooperation projects.

Shen extended his congratulations to takahashima on his appointment as the chief of the Japanese franchise office. He pointed out that the Japanese concession office is an important partner of the State Intellectual Property Office of China. Over the years, both sides have widely exchanged in various fields of intellectual property, and established friendly cooperation relations and achieved fruitful cooperation. At present, the State Intellectual Property Office of China is leading the development of a strategic outline for a powerful intellectual property country in 2035 and the "14th five year plan" of intellectual property rights, and the work of making and repairing legal systems such as patent law is also accelerating. It is welcomed that the Japanese industry has put forward suggestions through public opinions. During the novel coronavirus pneumonia epidemic this year, the two sides actively communicate and coordinate, innovate their working methods, overcome the epidemic impact, and push forward the steady development of all cooperation projects. It is hoped that, with the joint efforts of both sides, the cooperation in various fields of the two bureaux will be deepened and more practical results will be achieved.

Droguminxiu said that the cooperation between Japan's licensing office and the State Intellectual Property Office of China has a long history and has achieved remarkable results in various fields of intellectual property. In particular, since last year, the two sides have further expanded their cooperation in the field of trademarks and have achieved a series of fruitful results. This year's novel coronavirus pneumonia is affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, but it still exchanges on video on many occasions. We hope that the two sides will further close cooperation in the future, expand cooperation areas, innovate cooperation models, exchange and share experiences, and make the two countries' industry more benefit from it.
The two sides also exchanged views on other topics of common concern.
