五、继续加大知识产权保护力度
广交会历来高度重视保护知识产权工作，自1999年第85届开始成立保护知识产权投诉机构，受理侵权投诉。经过多年探索，已形成一套完整的、适合展会实际情况的知识产权保护体系，主要是，建立包括各方面专家在内的专门的组织机构；建立受理举报、处理程序等比较完善的规章制度；建立职责分明，分工落实的责任制。从103届开始，加强对参展企业的环保标准、依法纳税、知识产权、产品质量、信用情况的审核。

5. Intensify the Efforts in IPR Protection
The Canton Fair has always attached great importance to the IPR protection. In the 85th session in 1999, it set up the Complaint Reception Office of IPR Protection to handle complaints concerning IPR infringement. A set of complete IPR protection system, applicable to the actual situations of exhibition industry, is set up after years of practice. In this system, special organization with experts in various fields is initiated, complete regulations of receiving complaints and settlement procedures are formulated, and responsibility system of labor division featuring clear duties and responsibilities is established. Starting from the 103rd session, the Fair will enhance the examination on all exhibitors in terms of environmental protection, taxation, intellectual property rights, product quality and company credit.
