China's State Intellectual Property Office Thursday denied press reports that it was investigating or planned to investigate Microsoft for anti-competitive behavior , saying the office doesn't even handle such cases.

"The [State Intellectual Property] Office believes these reports are not real. The Office is authorized by the relevant government agencies to investigate and research domestic piracy issues. ... The Office has never undertaken any market monopoly investigation, and has no plan to do so," SIPO said in a statement on its Web site.
