Features: The World Trade Organization (WTO), as an international economic organization based on mandatory rules, serves as the institution for formulating and enforcing contemporary international trade rules. This book begins with an introduction to the legal framework and basic knowledge of the WTO's "Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights" (TRIPS), followed by an exploration of the work in the patent field. Drawing on interviews from the time of China's entry into the WTO, it presents the views of experts, scholars, and authoritative figures. The book analyzes specific cases and China's real-world situation, summarizing and synthesizing domestic and international experiences and lessons learned from both strategic and tactical perspectives, offering valuable insights for reference. Building on this foundation, it proposes several policy-oriented suggestions and insights. Regarding post-entry patent issues in import and export trade, the book offers both macro-level strategic concepts and micro-level tactical ideas, combining breadth and depth while linking theory with practice. It is particularly suitable for practitioners in international trade enterprises and relevant administrative departments, as well as for teaching, research, and management personnel in the fields of foreign trade and patents.
