Advocates call for environment that boosts innovation

Intellectual property rights have been one of the hottest topics at the yearly gathering of China's top legislators and advisors.

Premier Li Keqiang noted in his first government work report that solving current IP problems is important to achieving standard market operations and promoting the development of the cultural industry.

Many NPC deputies and CPPCC members also have submitted proposals to address rising IP issues in an increasingly high-tech and innovation-driven society.
