US laments China's slow progress on intellectual property rights

Washington - China is moving too slowly on enforcing intellectual property rights and the United States will send envoys to Beijing next week for talks on the dispute, a US trade official said Friday. The delegation from the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) will follow up on Us request last fall for China to lay out how it is enforcing patents and copyrights. China has viewed the request as inappropriate. So far, China is 'lacking commitment' on the issue and progress is not what the US would like to see, USTR's top legal expert Jim Mendenhall told reporters Friday. While noting that the US could take the matter before the World Trade Organisation, Mendenhall said the US is seeking an amicable solution. 'We're not at the retaliation stage yet,' he told reporters in a conference call. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
