Will foreign brands and other behaviors be hit hard?
On September 18, I learned from the Ministry of Commerce that from September 20 17 to February 20 18, China will focus on cracking down on illegal and criminal acts that infringe on the intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises, among which malicious cybersquatting and "cybersquatting of famous brands" have become the key targets.

In order to implement the Notice of the State Council on Several Measures to Promote the Growth of Foreign Investment, the Office of the National Leading Group for Combating Infringement of Intellectual Property Rights and Manufacturing and Selling Fake and Inferior Commodities, China National Intellectual Property Administration, the Ministry of Public Security and other departments 12 recently jointly issued the Action Plan for Intellectual Property Protection of Foreign-invested Enterprises. This is the first time in recent years that the China Municipal Government has launched a special action to protect the intellectual property rights of foreign-invested enterprises.

The plan puts forward the task of 1 1, and clarifies the division of responsibilities of relevant departments. Among them, infringement of trade secrets, patent rights, new plant variety rights, malicious cybersquatting of trademarks and "famous brands" and infringement and piracy in the Internet field have become the focus of the crackdown. The plan also calls for strengthening the supervision of key links such as import and export, delivery, etc., focusing on investigating and handling a number of infringement and counterfeiting cases with serious circumstances and bad influence, and effectively protecting the interests of right holders.

The plan requires the relevant administrative law enforcement and criminal justice departments to cooperate closely, improve the cooperation mechanism, improve the efficiency of handling cases, accept relevant cases in time and dispose of them quickly according to law, and further create a fair market environment and a good investment environment.

I wish China's economic development is getting better and better.
