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。

After 12 years’ waiting, the 4th version of the Patent Law with an aim of further motivating innovations and improving the mechanism for cracking down patent infringements was finally passed on October 17, 2020.

On June 1st, 2020, the Chinese Central Committee and the State Council jointly released the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (“the Masterplan”), a large-scale plan to transform the entire island province into a free trade port (FTP) – making it the largest special free trade zone in China. The Masterplan laid out a series of special policies for Hainan – liberalization of trade of goods and services, facilitation of investment, opening-up of key sectors, and free exchange of people, capital, and data. Coupled with preferential policies of the Hainan Bo’ao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, Hainan is expected to be the rising hub of new investment and business opportunities.
