Innovation in China has increasingly been a key influence for the global knowledge economy, according to World Intellectual Property Organization Director-General Francis Gurry.

Gurry said that he has "absolutely no doubt" that China will be recognized as an innovative economy in the near future, and itwill produce a growing amount of innovative industrial and creative content to share with the world.

"When you see the amount of attention paid by leaders to the economic strategy of innovation, and the amount of investment into research and development, China must be able to produce an innovative economy," Gurry said.
