The Intellectual Property Office of New Zealand (IPONZ) is a New Zealand government agency responsible for the granting and registration of intellectual property rights, specifically patent, trade mark, design and plant variety rights.
 It is part of the New Zealand Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment.
 According to its website, IPONZ "aims to ensure people realise the full economic potential of their intellectual property."
Intellectual property rights (IPRs) have been acknowledged and protected in the People's Republic of China since 1979.
 The People's Republic of China has acceded to the major international conventions on protection of rights to intellectual property.
 Domestically, protection of intellectual property law has also been established by government legislation, administrative regulations, and decrees in the areas of trademark, copyright and patent.
 This has led to the creation of a comprehensive legal framework to protect both local and foreign intellectual property.
 Despite this, copyright violations are common in the PRC, and intellectual property violations are committed by prominent members of the automotive and electronics industries.
 The American Chamber of Commerce in China surveyed over 500 of its members doing business in China regarding IPR for its "2016 China Business Climate Survey Report", and found that IPR enforcement is improving, but significant challenges still remain.
 The results show that the laws in place exceed their actual enforcement, with patent protection receiving the highest approval rate, while protection of trade secrets lags far behind.
 But despite the less than satisfactory scores overall, an overwhelming majority of respondents (91%) agreed that enforcement of IPR protections has increased in the past five years.

Ley Sinde, or the Sinde Law, is a provision in Spain's Sustainable Economy Act designed to address internet copyright infringements.
 The bill passed the final legislative hurdle and was made law Friday December 30, 2011.
 The law created a new intellectual property commission designed to review requests from copyright holders about websites that they claim infringe upon their copyright.
 The commission has the authority to determine whether to take action against the website or content intermediaries such as the internet service provider (ISP) or hosting provider.
 The commission's ruling is evaluated by a judge, with the goal of completing the entire review process within 10 days.
 The law has a provision that also requires content intermediaries to respond more quickly than under previous law: websites determined to be in violation of copyright law must be taken down within 48 hours.
 Finally, the law has a significant impact on individual privacy rights: it allows impacted parties to seek the identity of those they believe to have infringed on their copyright.
 This clause reversed precedent set by a 2008 European Court of Justice’s ruling in Promusicae v. Telefónica barring IP holders from demanding the identity of copyright infringers from ISPs.
 There was strong international pressure, predominantly from the United States, for the creation of this legislation while it was strongly opposed by bloggers, journalists and tech professionals in Spain.
 Deputy Prime Minister Soraya Sáenz de Santamaría said that the aim of the law was "to safeguard intellectual property, boost our culture industries and protect the rights of owners, creators and others in the face of the lucrative plundering of illegal downloading sites."
