The campaign aims to put"high pressure" on any such violations and"to enhance awareness of the whole society to respect and protect the intellectual property rights of the Winter Olympics," a CNIPA director, Zhang Zhicheng, was quoted as saying by Xinhua. Earlier this month, in a move underlining the campaign's focus, Beijing customs officials announced they had seized 100 fabric patches with the Olympic five-ring logo in a parcel.They described it as the first cross-border goods case involving an Olympic logo infringement that they had seized this year.
