Abstract

The conclusion and implementation of the RCEP agreement has gone through a long consultation process. The member countries have fully expressed their value and interests pursuits regarding copyright, trade secrets, patent rights and trademark rights. After consultations, developed and developing countries consider the RCEP agreement acceptable in terms of its differences from WTO rules. Countries that temporarily do not have the conditions to implement the new IPR rules can implement them in phases according to their own national situations respectively. The RCEP agreement takes note of the impact of technological development on the IPR system and actively incorporates some new protection methods. Some countries, including China, are already actively preparing for the implementation of the RCEP agreement.
