China is once again ready to fight against piracy, as its enterprises are on the move to make commitments. More than 350 enterprises have gathered at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing this morning, to pledge for fighting pirated intellectual goods and promote self-owned innovations.

It is the first large-scale IPR movement by the enterprises themselves. Initiated by the China Enterprise Confederation, the movement is going to involve millions of enterprise staffs to jointly reject piracy.

Participating enterprises will sign two agreements on IPR protection and reject the pirated software. Meanwhile, the enterprises are going to use patent, trademarks and copyrights to protect their own innovations.

Chen Lantong, Director & Vice Chairman of China Enterprise Confederation said: "This event is an occasion to express our determination to protect Intellectual Property Rights in the international society. We have also made commitments to take the responsibility of fighting against piracy."

Officials at the conference said that the implementation of the commitment requires detailed plans. The Enterprise Confederation will support the government IPR regulators and carry out the moves gradually in different industries and regions.
