Abstract

Intellectual Property Protection in Free Trade Zones: Main Issues from China’s Perspective in the International Context Hong Yang and Hongsong Song 1 Introduction Free trade zones (FTZs), also termed free zones or foreign zones, have a long history of more than 8 decades in modern economies, developing worldwide at a rapid rate from 79 in 25 countries or economies in 1975 to more than 3,500 in 130 coun- tries or economies in recent years. The exact definition and scope of FTZs vary by country and jurisdiction, while their common features or nature are usually an area designated by certain countries where less customs control or fewer relevant trade regulation measures are imposed.
