2008年，在市委、市政府的高度重视下，北京市知识产权工作紧紧围绕“新北京、新奥运”的战略构想，贯彻《国家知识产权战略纲要》精神，以服务首都经济社会发展为中心任务，大力实施首都知识产权“一二六”工程，不断推动首都知识产权事业发展，进一步巩固了北京市知识产权强市地位。
一、集中开展保护奥运知识产权专项行动，有效发挥了外围保障作用
在全市范围组织开展了保护奥运知识产权专项行动，市政府主管领导亲自动员部署，各部门按照“提高思想认识、落实部门责任、强化协调机制、展示首都形象”的工作原则，迅速开展整治行动，有效发挥了外围保障作用。国际奥委会法律部主任霍华德•斯图普先生和国际奥委会北京奥运会协调委员会主席维尔布鲁根先生都给予了高度的评价。
二、加强对流通领域的监管，进一步巩固了知识产权保护防御体系
针对侵犯知识产权行为主要集中在销售环节的现象，各部门继续深化“无冒充专利示范单位”、 “无假冒商标示范单位”、“正版产品销售示范单位”等示范工作，进一步加大对商场、市场、商店、展会等流通领域的监管力度，防范侵权行为的发生，有效减少了侵权商品制售的渠道，进一步巩固了知识产权保护的防御体系，取得了显著成效。

Summary of Beijing’s Intellectual Property Protection in 2008
In 2008, with the municipal Party committee and municipal government of Beijing attaching great importance to IPR protection, local IPR protection efforts in Beijing closely followed the strategic idea of “New Beijing Great Olympics”, carried forward the spirit of the Outline of the National Intellectual Property Strategy, in a bid to serve the economic and social development of Beijing, the capital of China. The municipality has been working to carry out the “One Two Six” Campaign of IPR, promoted the continuous development of IPR cause and further boosted the status of Beijing as a national leader in IPR.
I. Olympics-specific IPR Campaign Served as a Shield for the Olympic Games
The Olympics-specific IPR campaign was quickly carried out citywide, and thanks to the personal arrangement by competent leaders of the Municipality and the working principles observed by each department (these principles are: Raise Awareness, Put in Place Department Responsibilities, Reinforce Coordination Mechanism and Showcase the Image of Beijing), served as shield for the Olympics. Mr. Howard Stupp, IOC's Director of Legal Affairs, and Mr. Hein Verbruggen, chairman of the IOC-BOCOG coordination committee, both highly applauded the campaign.
II. Tightened Regulation on Circulation Sectors and Further Consolidated the Defense System of IRP Protection
Given that IPR infringements mainly occur in the sales distribution process, all departments remained committed to the advocacy of role models such as Non-Counterfeit Patent Model Unit, Non-Counterfeit Trademark Model Unit and Original Product Sales Model Unit and stepped up regulation on such circulation sectors as supermarkets, markets, shops and exhibitions to prevent IPR infringements. Good results were achieved as channels for manufacturing and selling infringing goods were curtailed and the defensive system of IPR protection was further consolidated.
