BEIJING, Feb 27, Global Times -- Ahead of a closely watched election next week that might produce the first Chinese national to head the UN's World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), Chinese authorities and IP experts have warned the US over its 'immoral and unfair' move to prevent China from winning the election.

The spokesman's remarks came after the US's continued pressure in its self-sought feud with China over the election of the new WIPO head. The attempt to sway the election is"a concrete indication of Trump's 'America First' policy", as the US is apparently moving to unfairly contain China in the IP sphere, Tao told the Global Times on Tuesday.

Hailing Wang as the most experienced, capable and competitive candidate, Zhao said the nomination also comes in line with expectations for more outstanding females to lead international organizations. China is a global innovation and intellectual property power and the nation's nomination of a candidate to head the organization exemplifies China's aspiration to contribute to international IP cooperation and development, Zhao said at Tuesday's press conference.

Japan, the US, and Germany were the top countries last year in terms of patent applications, while the US, Japan and Britain led the way in trademark applications.
