Summary

China has risen to become the United States’ second largest trading partner, and the largest outside of the North American Free Trade Agreement area, providing new business opportunities for U.S. companies. In 2010, the United States exported nearly $113 billion of goods and services to China, up nearly 33% from 2009.1 As U.S. companies look to take advantage of the growing U.S.-China commercial relationship, U.S. rights holders are increasingly seeking to protect and enforce their intellectual property rights (IPR) in China. Ensuring that China’s IPR regime works in a fair, transparent, and timely manner for U.S. rights holders is a top priority for the U.S. Government.
