Beijing's Zhongguancun Science Park (Z-Park) hosted an intellectual property (IP) carnival on its innovation street on April 28 to safeguard IP rights and powerhouse Z-Park startups.

To highlight the theme of "no protection, no innovation", the carnival divided the main street into five independent areas featuring IP history, interactive games, technology display, IP consultation and foreign services.
