China High Court continues reform of law on intellectual property crimes

China is in the midst of a complete overhaul of its intellectual property laws. According to this article, many beleive the reforms have little practical effect because the police and courts aren’t prepared to handle, or even identify, violations of intellectual property rights.

But, alas, these areas of the law are being reformed as well. Today, the Chinese High Court issued a series of measures designed to facilitate identification and punishment of intellectual property crimes.

At what point do these reforms become sufficient to convince people that China is serious about intellectual property?
