At the meeting, Li Jun expressed his gratitude to WIPO for its trust on behalf of the campus. He said that with the support of WIPO, the campus had fully leveraged its disciplinary advantages, with the meticulous guidance of backbone teachers and the enthusiastic dedication of students from the Innovation Class of the Modern Industrial College of Digital Intelligence and Petroleum, successfully completing the first phase of the patent terminology project. As one of the only two universities in China selected as WIPO's global partners, the campus attached great importance to cooperation with WIPO and would fully support and guarantee the implementation of the new project. He hoped that both sides could strengthen exchanges, establish a long-term cooperation mechanism, and carry out practical cooperation in multiple fields to further promote the development of the global intellectual property cause.
