General Secretary Xi Jinping presided over and delivered an important speech. He provided a fundamental guide for the new era to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights in China. This is consistent with the requirements of the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee. Innovation is the first driving force to lead development, and protecting intellectual property is to protect innovation. Since the 18th National Congress of the CPC, the CPC Central Committee has put the work of intellectual property protection in a more prominent position, and has promoted a series of reforms, issued a series of major policies, actions and plans, implemented strict intellectual property protection system, resolutely punished the infringement of intellectual property rights in accordance with law, led the development of intellectual property in China and walked out of a development of intellectual property rights with Chinese characteristics On the way of exhibition, the protection of intellectual property has made historic achievements and strongly supported the economic and social development.

The five relationships have profoundly explained the connotation and strategic significance of the work of intellectual property protection, and raised the work of intellectual property protection to an unprecedented height. In order to build a socialist modern country, we must strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, promote the construction of a modern economic system, stimulate the vitality of innovation in the whole society and promote the construction of a new development pattern. At present, the State Intellectual Property Office is continuing to thoroughly study and implement the spirit of general secretary Xi Jinping's important speech, and has made specific plans for its implementation.
Reporter: what challenges do the new domestic and international situation pose to the work of intellectual property rights?
Shenchangyu: facing the new era and new development stage, we should focus on "two overall situations", combine the national innovation and development needs and international competition situation, deeply understand the new challenges and requirements of the new domestic and international situation to the work of intellectual property rights, and always follow the party's guidance.
From the domestic perspective, the Fifth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the CPC has made strategic deployment based on the new development stage, implementing the new development concept, building a new development pattern and promoting high-quality development, which requires more powerful support from intellectual property. In general, general secretary Xi Jinping, when he presided over the twenty-fifth collective learning of the Central Political Bureau, pointed out that at present, China is changing from the introduction of intellectual property to a big country in intellectual property creation. The work of intellectual property is changing from seeking quantity to improving quality, which clearly shows the historical position and the direction of continuous struggle for the development of intellectual property in China.
Internationally, novel coronavirus pneumonia is a major change in the world. The global epidemic of the new crown pneumonia epidemic has accelerated the great change.

As the basic guarantee of encouraging innovation, intellectual property system has become an important support for the construction of innovative countries and the key to master the initiative of development.
Therefore, we should recognize the situation and tasks of intellectual property work in China, summarize the achievements, find out the shortcomings, improve the understanding of the importance of intellectual property protection, and provide strong support for the implementation of new development concept, construction of new development pattern and promotion of high-quality development from the aspect of strengthening the work of intellectual property protection.
