Intellectual property crimes have transnational characteristics

Internal and external collusion forms a complete criminal chain

Legal Daily, Beijing, December 16 th. Reporter Meng Qingfeng, director of the Economic Crime Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security of Zhou Bin, said at a press conference held by the Ministry of Public Security today that intellectual property crimes are international. Judging from the law enforcement practice in recent years, criminals at home and abroad colluded to form a relatively complete criminal chain, and intellectual property crimes have become China public security organs and global police agencies.

Meng Qingfeng said that closed law enforcement is not effective for intellectual property crimes. In the future, China's public security organs will further promote and strengthen international cooperation to achieve mutual benefit and win-win. Constantly strengthen regular exchanges, including regular or irregular work meetings, consultations, and timely communication of project information, and gradually develop the habit of transnational law enforcement cooperation. Strengthen the cooperation of law enforcement information. Actively establish a daily cooperation mechanism and promote the construction of the case hotline contact system.

It is reported that in December this year, the Economic Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security held a forum with relevant foreign-invested enterprises associations, and listened to the opinions and suggestions of 35 foreign-invested enterprises such as Microsoft, General Motors and Bayer in Germany on the work of public security organs, and collected dozens of case clues.

It's difficult to obtain evidence in cases of Internet-related intellectual property infringement

Legal Daily reporter Zhou Bin

Reporter: Among the 1 typical cases announced by the Ministry of Public Security, there is a case of counterfeiting maternity products. How do public security organs deal with such cases?

Meng Qingfeng: As we all know, women and children are internationally recognized as key protected groups, so we also attach great importance to such crimes and pay more attention to them. We demand that once this kind of crime is detected, it should be publicized to the society in time, early warning should be given, and typical cases should be exposed and publicized to improve the prevention ability of the whole society against this kind of crime.

Reporter: Now it is easy to find some websites selling fake brand-name clothes on the Internet. Why?

Gu Jian (Deputy Director of the Network Security Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security): In the case of cracking down on network infringement and piracy, the complicated authorization process leads to unclear rights holders, which brings great difficulties to the investigation of the case. For example, many film and television websites have many agent-level rights holders authorized at different levels, which makes it difficult to obtain evidence. There are also some web servers suspected of piracy that are not located in China, so it takes a lot of judicial cooperation procedures to obtain evidence. In this "Bright Sword" campaign, Internet-related intellectual property infringement cases are one of the key points. At the end of the campaign, we will give people a satisfactory answer.

Reporter: The action of "Bright Sword" has achieved certain results. How to proceed next?

Xu Hu (Deputy Director of Public Security Administration of the Ministry of Public Security): Next, we will focus on cracking down. The Ministry of Public Security has listed 5 major cases as the first batch of cases to be supervised. By focusing on handling these cases, it will play a role in deterring crimes. The Ministry of Public Security requires all localities to report a case to ensure that the case is quickly investigated and settled. Inform the news media of the results of the operation in time. Timely summarize and popularize the successful experience of multi-police cooperation and regional police cooperation in the "Bright Sword" operation, and establish a long-term mechanism to crack down on intellectual property rights infringement and the crime of manufacturing and selling fake and inferior commodities.
