(Agencies)
Updated: 2005-07-12 21:10 Top officials from the US and
China reached a consensus in their talks Monday on the protection of
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR).
According to the Xinhua news agency, the two sides agreed to establish
cooperation mechanisms for cross-border prosecutions of IPR violations and the
protection of film copyrights.
The two sides were represented by China's Deputy Prime Minister, Wu Yi, and
US Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez.
The meeting was held under the aegis of the US-China Joint Commission on
Commerce and Trade, a 22-year-old body created to resolve trade disputes between
the two trading partners. The two sides, however, failed to reach any decision
on the recent dispute over the surge in textile exports from China.
