"what's clear about the canal?" innovation has become the first engine of development as our economy changes in pace, structure optimizes and the “new normal” of power transformation. For the 18th century, the center of the party, with comrade xi at its centre, looked at the whole picture, looking to the future, implemented innovative-driven development strategies, accelerated the building of an innovative country, and sounded the trumpet for building the world’s technological power。
The national customs administration has studied and followed up on the important statement of the secretary-general of xi jinping on science, technology and innovation, maintaining the overall leadership of the party in the field of customs science and technology, placing science, technology and innovation at the top of the customs agenda and making autonomous innovation the path to innovation. The establishment of the “five levels” was proposed by the general customs committee, which placed the “scientific-technology gap” even more important and created a strong technological climate throughout the system. In recent years, the customs administration has made more solid strides in its commitment to science, technology and innovation and in its successive struggles, and has achieved significant scientific and technological results。

To better protect innovation outcomes, customs has long been committed to strengthening intellectual property protection, optimizing innovation and business environments, and safeguarding innovation for enterprises. The party's 19th report proposes “to promote a culture of innovation and strengthen the creation, protection and application of intellectual property rights”. In order to follow up on the central deployment requirements to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights and promote self-innovation by enterprises, and to enhance the core competitiveness of our enterprises, customs authorities at all levels, under the unified command of the party committee of the general customs administration, continue to carry out specific actions to protect intellectual property rights and actively promote a sound business environment. Our customs protection of intellectual property has always been based on a high starting point, a high standard of standards and a high-quality advance, both in terms of the scope of protection and the level of involvement, well beyond the requirements of the world trade organization agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (trips agreement), which gives a strong and responsible customs image。

China's customs centre for the protection of intellectual property rights (qingdao) is located at huangtao customs, with a construction area of 1121 square metres, which was officially opened to the public in november 2014. At present, there are more than 1,300 exhibits, which are complementary to the functions and effects of the china customs museum (customs and intellectual property monument) and the china customs centre for the protection of intellectual property rights (yiu), whose collection shows “historical moments” that belong to china's customs protection of intellectual property。
In september 1994, the first case of intellectual property violation was investigated by the imperial customs department of shenzhen, which officially opened the process of intellectual property protection in china. In july 1995, the state council promulgated the regulations of the people's republic of china on customs protection of intellectual property, the first administrative law of our country to regulate customs protection of intellectual property。

Customs protection of our intellectual property rights has been at a very high threshold from the outset, both in terms of its scope and the extent of its involvement, well beyond the requirements of the world trade organization agreement on trade-related aspects of intellectual property rights (trips agreement) and in terms of a truly responsible and responsible customs image. The main feature is the two-way protection of imports and exports, which is different from the protection of most countries only at the import stage. The second is the broad scope of protection, covering patent rights, trademark rights, copyright rights, the exclusive right to olympic logos and the exclusive right to world expo logos. Thirdly, in addition to the right to detain goods suspected of violating intellectual property rights, the customs authorities have the power to investigate the fact of infringement of the goods, to determine that the goods constitute an infringement, and to punish the sender of the goods. Fourth is the introduction of an intellectual property filing system. Currently, as many as 62 million intellectual property are registered with the general customs administration。
In order to make the state of customs protection of intellectual property more widely known to the community, since 2006 the general customs administration has issued an annual white paper on the protection of intellectual property rights in china's customs service, which provides a comprehensive picture of the intellectual property protection measures adopted by china's customs authorities and the effectiveness of enforcement. Also since 2006, the general customs administration has annually selected and made public the most representative cases, taking full advantage of the warning role of customs authorities in cases of abuse and raising awareness of intellectual property protection throughout society。

In recent years, while day-to-day controls have been strengthened, china's customs has carried out a number of targeted and specialized enforcement operations, maintaining a high-pressure posture to combat violations, with fruitful results. The world expo initiative on intellectual property protection was launched in 2010; the 2010 - 2011 initiative on combating intellectual property violations and the sale of counterfeit and counterfeit goods; the 2013 joint enforcement campaign with the united states customs and border protection agency against counterfeit consumer electronics; the 2014 initiative on protecting intellectual property rights in the world cup; and the 2015 - 2017 initiative on “china's image-making abroad”, focusing on export cargo to africa, latin america and the middle east。
