Comments on the The Anti-unfair Competition Law of the People’s Republic of China (Amended Draft to Be Reviewed)

2016-03-25 | All chapters

The modification proposed by the Draft involves 30 articles of the current Law, among which 7 articles are deleted; and with 9 new articles added, the changes cover 35 articles in total.
The modification represents a better coordination with other related laws (e.g. the Anti-trust Law, the Trademark Law and the Advertisement Law) as it has eliminated some provisions on certain issues which are overlapping or conflict with such other related laws.
However our members identified some issues in this draft (e.g.too much power to the administration authorities for supervision and inspection; lack of clarity of the wording, etc.) that were included in this call for comments.
