On June 10, the European Union (EU) Chamber of Commerce in China, in cooperation with Roland Berger, released its European Business in China Business Confidence Survey 2020.

The report reveals that IP protection has long been among major concerns for European companies operating in China or looking to enter the market. When it comes to the impact of IPR on R&D, two-thirds of respondents rate the effectiveness of China's IP protection laws and regulations as either "excellent" or "adequate".

Statistics showed that China has seen marked improvement in both IP legislation and enforcement, which is the highest rate of positive sentiment since 2012.

The survey inquired 1,308 eligible entities, with 626 respondents completing the survey, and achieved a response rate of 47.9%.
