The United States on Wednesday named China and India among countries on its blacklist of countries failing to properly protect U.S. copyrights and patents but kept their status unchanged from the previous review.

The United States said it would redouble efforts to seek better IP protection in India, which U.S. businesses had wanted named as the worst offender this year.
