Protecting the rights of innovators by protecting intellectual property creates an environment where advances in technology, art, literature and medicine can flourish.
通过保护知识产权保护创新者的权益，从而创造技术、艺术、文学和医学蓬勃发展的环境。
Today, World Intellectual Property Day, we celebrate the rights that make innovation possible.
今天是世界知识产权日，知识产权使创新成为可能，我们为此欢庆。
Intellectual Property Rights or IPR are integral to new ideas and the economic gains they bring a society, says Patricia Haslach, who is Acting Assistant Secretary in the Bureau of Economic and Business Affairs at the U. S. Department of State:
知识产权（IPR）对新理念和经济增长不可或缺，而后两者促进社会的形成。美国国务院经济和商业事务局的代理助理国务卿帕特丽夏·哈斯拉奇说：
"You have to have IPR.
"你必须有知识产权。
If you don't have IPR, you're not going to have creation.
如果你没有知识产权，你就无法创造。
You're not going to have people innovating, you're not going to have people willing to take a chance with a new product, so it is critically important.
你没法让人们创新，你没法让人们愿意冒险发明新品，所以知识产权至关重要。
What's also important is that you have the due process, the transparency, the law enforcement regulations, everything in place in order that you can protect folks that are creating and in the sphere of intellectual property rights."
还有一点也很重要，那就是你要有正当程序，要有透明度，要有法律实施条例，一切都井然有序，以便你能保护创新者和知识产权范围内的人们。"
Such a framework has helped U. S. innovators, said Assistant Secretary Haslach: " We estimate that it's contributed to about 50 percent of our exports.
这样的框架帮助了美国的创新者们，助理国务卿哈斯拉奇说："我们估计它贡献了我国50%的出口。
It's contributed to our GDP and we've also found that people that work in the area of IPR that have products that have been brought to market via IPR tend to make more money and those companies tend to be much more successful.
该框架提高了我国的GDP，我们还发现，如果人们受知识产权保护生产产品，并通过知识产权投放市场，他们常常赚得更多，这样的公司也常常更为成功。
These rights are critical, not just for the developed countries but also for the developing world."
知识产权不仅对发达国家很重要，对发展中国家也是如此。"
Local inventors and creators are particularly well-placed to find solutions for local problems and create artistic content that reflects local culture.
本地发明者和创作者解决当地的问题，创作反映当地文化的艺术内容变得尤为方便。
The State Department promotes Intellectual Property Rights worldwide through programs such as Patents for Humanity--- which accelerates patent review of inventions with humanitarian benefits.
美国务院在世界范围内通过诸如人道主义专利等项目推广知识产权，加快审核那些利于人道主义的发明专利。
The annual Special 301 report identifies challenges faced by U. S. industries in enforcing Intellectual Property Rights in foreign markets, calls for policy reforms or technical assistance to address these barriers, and highlights positive progress.
年度特别301报告指出美国产业在海外市场实施知识产权面临挑战，呼吁通过政策改革或技术支持解决该问题，并且突出强调取得的积极进展。
"It is very important to highlight the critical link between these innovations that make our lives better and the regulatory, judicial and law enforcement frameworks that make them possible."
"创新使我们的生活更好，而监管、司法和执法框架使创新成为可能，强调二者间存在关键联系这点非常重要。"
