The intellectual property protection strength index (IPPS) invented by developed countries researchers mainly measures the legislative protection level of intellectual property in a country. As TRIPS Agreement is widely accepted, the intellectual protection legislation tends to be assimilated worldwide and this index is difficult to distinguish the difference between the intellectual protection levels of developing and developed countries. This article introduces some amendment visions to IPPS which Chinese scholars made. In these indexes increased the measure of the intellectual property enforcement level, so that the IPPS became a synthesis of legislative protection strength index and law enforcement strength protection index. The article claims that these new indexes has good development prospect, but there are many inconsistencies in the definition of sub-items in intellectual property enforcement strength index. So it is required to further improve the Chinese IPPS index system, faithfully evaluate the performance of intellectual property protection combined with China’s economic and social development level, national and local legal status, cultural background and other factors.
