Beijing, July 8(ANI): China has rejected a Japanese claim accusing China of violating intellectual property rights concerning high-speed rail technology.
The accusation came after China submitted applications for international patents.
Ministry of Railways spokesman Wang Yongping said that China had developed the technology that it was applying patents for, independently.
"The strong reaction of some Japanese, without even knowing exactly what patents China is filing for, shows a fragile state of mind and a lack of confidence," The China Daily quoted Yongping, as saying.
Yongping further said that China CNR Corp Ltd and the China Academy of Railway Sciences had been filing patent applications abroad since 2009.
Earlier, chairman of Kawasaki Heavy Industries Ltd, Tadaharu Ohashi, had said that the company would take legal action if China's high-speed train patents violated contracts signed between Japan and China. (ANI)
