QBPC is a nodal organisation for IPR protection with a membership of 181 multinational companies with investments worth $70 billion in China. It has a regular dialogue mechanism with Chinese government for redress of IPR disputes.
The MoU provides for setting up of a working group between CII and QBPC to organise an annual forum on IPR protection and exchange of database regarding service providers for IPRs.
It also includes organising awareness campaigns and training programmes for stake holders on both sides, the statement said.

Describing the initiative as "timely and important", Consul General Vishnu Prakash called for regular exchanges and sharing of best practices between judicial, governmental and industrial bodies of India and China.
