The adjustment of intellectual property legal systems in developing countries has been basically improved in preparation for the implementation of the WTO/TRIPS Agreement. However, to take measures against longer First Action pendency and counterfeiting of goods, we need to continue to push forward with human resources development programs in these countries.
