Covering an exhibition area of 20,000 square meters, the fair gathered more than 300 exhibitors, including more than 50 from foreign countries.

Composed of six exhibition areas, the fair included a dazzling display of IP related products ranging from film, television, and animation to daily supplies.

Eight projects, including a 10-billion-yuan fund for the development of intellectual property as well as an animation industry fund of around 2 billion yuan, were signed at the opening ceremony on July 5.

Diverse forums discussing IP rights were organized during the event, with industry experts, government officials and enterprise representatives discussing how to better protect and utilize IP rights and create new marketing tools to obtain economic and social benefits.
