China's pledges to protect and promote intellectual property rights, or IPR, have been honored and will continue to be fulfilled, the People's Daily reported on Sunday.

China's IPR protection and promotion efforts have been substantially boosted since October 2007, when the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China officially unveiled an IPR strategy.

Chinese courts received more than 68,000 cases concerning IPR in 2011, a 200-percent increase compared with 2007. During the same period, commerce authorities across China solved more than 79,000 violations of trademark rights cases, 57 percent more than in 2007, according to the report.

A total of 807 measures have been taken to protect and promote IPR since 2007, with 55 law enforcement operations launched.

Since 2007, Chinese customs have seized more than 125,000 batches of goods that infringed IPR and were worth 2.73 billion yuan ($434 million).
