2017-11-24 | Beijing, Shanghai, South China

In November 2017, the National People's Congress (NPC) issued the E-commerce Law (Draft for Second Review) for public consultation.

The European Chamber's Intellectual Property Rights, Legal & Competition, Agriculture, Food & Beverage, Information Communication Technology, Logistics, Cosmetics, Compliance & Business Ethics, Auto Components Working Groups and Fashion & Leather Desk, on behalf of member companies, submitted their consolidated comments to NPC. The Working Groups called for further specification on executive methods and supervision authorities, as well as the e-commerce platform operators to take "proactive measures" against suspected IPR violations.
