The National Intellectual Property Administration recently announced the list of "The Third Batch of the National IP (Intellectual Property) Protection Standardized Markets". A total of 16 projects, including Zhongshan's Start Alliance -- the Global Brand Lighting Center -- were included. 

The validation of the standardized markets will be effective from December, 2018 to December, 2021.

Star Alliance is the display portal of Guzhen lighting brands. At present, most leading domestic lighting brands are members of the Global Brand Lighting Center. This administrative center demands strict requirements in terms of IP protection. For example, the member companies are required to have adequate R&D, design capabilities, and sell own-label products with effective IP protection patents.

Meanwhile, the China Zhongshan (Lighting) Intellectual Property Rapid Protection Center has been established next to the Star Alliance. Additionally, there are countless promotional activities carried out at Star Alliance for further developing the IP protective atmosphere.
