Centers for Helping IPR Holders In China

According to the Chinese Patent Office (SIPO), China is going to open 100 centers for assisting intellectual property right (IPR) Holders there.

44 centers have already been approved since the launch of the program in November 2007.

According to a document regulating the program, Guiding Opinion on Developing Assistance in Enforcing IPRs, "any qualifying Chinese citizen, legal person or other organization may request for assistance from a center subject to the prescribed conditions and protocols".

Even though there are more than one billion people in China and that number might mitigate the number of centers, I woud be curious to know how many centers we have in North America.

Do you think we have enough resources for assisting inventors or corporations? What should be done?
