尊敬的会员，

10月27日，上海市十五届人大常委会第二十六次会议表决通过了《上海市反不正当竞争条例》（以下简称“《条例》”）并将于明年1月1日施行。本次通过的《条例》将上位法修订后的相关规定以及实践中总结的诸多新业态及问题纳入其中，在《反不正当竞争法》的框架内做了很多细化，但其中仍有某些界定较为模糊，增加了企业面临监管的合规压力。

中国欧盟商会有幸请到上海市人大常委会法制工作委员会两位老师莅临商会为会员公司深度解读《上海反不正当竞争条例》的立法思路，并解答会员针对该《条例》的疑问与顾虑。现诚邀企业报名参加，本次讲座向中国欧盟商会会员免费开放。

请在报名时备注是否为线上还是线下参加，并将报名信息（单位、姓名、职务、邮箱、手机）发至sthe@europeanchamber.com.cn邮箱。

In today's technology-rich environment, companies increasingly get involved in technology licensing and recognize the value of data as a business asset that should be protected and can be exploited through licensing to other parties for more synergy.

Companies therefore can encounter a range of agreements that implicate the protection and treatment of technology, data and related intellectual property (IP) rights. Where one party is seeking to exploit a software, a data feed or has developed a database it wishes to license, data and IP issues may be the specific focus of a transaction. However, those issues also arise as an ancillary consideration in other licenses and commercial transactions, e.g. technology services arrangements or as capital contribution for joint ventures.
