How the US Lost Its China Complaint On IP

Posted by kdawson on from the evidence-from-the-newspaper dept.

An anonymous reader writes "The World Trade Organization yesterday released its much-anticipated decision involving a US complaint against China over its protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights. The US quickly proclaimed victory, with newspaper headlines trumpeting the WTO panel's requirement that China reform elements of its intellectual property laws. Yet the reality is somewhat different. As Michael Geist notes, the US lost badly on key issues such as border measures and criminal IP enforcement, with the international trade body upholding the validity of China's laws."

    ...this is /. - where is the Microsoft tie-in? How can this site uphold the mandate to keep Microsoft in front of the public without every story having some sort of Microsoft tie-in?

    Don't think people aren't noticing the shilling that is going on...

    Another day....another 30% content devoted to Microsoft. What a way to go down in history.

    The real crux of the problem is that there is a WIDE gulf between the law and enforcement of the law

    The real real problem is that there's an armada of press and web-sites that spew rubbish against china.
