With the booming development of Internet and AI technology in mainland China, some IP companies and firms have also established their own online platforms to conduct IP infringement monitoring and time-stamp authentication. For simple monitoring, clients can use this by themselves. For complicated monitoring that may require legal analysis, local counsel will be involved to provide legal services.
Cooperation with national anti-counterfeiting agencies
China has established the National Leading Group for Combating Intellectual Property Infringement and Production and Sales of Counterfeit and Shoddy Commodities, which is supervised by the State Council. This group focuses on the IP protection and anti-counterfeiting from the government standpoint. In addition, China has a number of anti-counterfeiting or IP protection agencies, such as the Beijing Anti-infringement and Anti-counterfeiting Alliance and the Alibaba Anti-counterfeiting Alliance, which fight counterfeiting by promoting cooperation between e-commerce platforms and enterprises, holding regular exchange meetings and reporting the latest progress of judicial protection in the industry. Companies can protect their IPR through cooperation with these institutions.
