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.

Second Amendments introduced pharmaceutical patent-term extensions and established an early pharmaceutical patent-dispute resolution mechanism and patent linkage system that further protects the rights of patentees.

Medical resource shortages are increasingly challenging for many countries battling the COVID-19 pandemic. In response to the need, various companies are donating money, personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilators, medicines, disinfectants, food, and other valuable resources. Compliance risks should be carefully considered when providing this valuable assistance to ensure that the resources are put in the right hands with no strings attached. Meanwhile, during the COVID-19 outbreak, the government offers various subsidies to support foreign businesses. Government subsidies beneficiaries face the potential risk of non-compliance.

The European Chamber is delighted to invite Simon Hui, Lead Partner of Baker & McKenzie LLP to share his experience and insights to help our member companies to stay compliant during this special time. The meeting will cover the below topics:

1. Overview of legal requirements under PRC Law
2. Regulatory framework under FCPA, UKBA and France Sapin II Law
3. Industry specific requirements in the medical industry
4. Identify and manage risks arising from donation and government subsidies
5. Case study
