2011-04-21
Officers of China Customs said on January 29 that they had detained 65,192 batches of infringing goods in 2009, involving a value of RMB 370 million.
On June 1, 2009, China Customs launched a special campaign to stop intellectual property infringement via postal delivery in which customs administrations at all levels throughout the country have enhanced the control over the articles delivered by outward mails and express mails, especially those sent to high-risk countries and regions with the inspection rate of some items reaching 100%. By December 31, 2009, when the campaign came to an end, customs administrations have detained 2.6196 million infringing goods valued at RMB 61.945 million.
China Customs has made “giving greater customs protection to domestic self-owned intellectual property rights and supporting the development of the enterprises who established their own brands ”one of the top ten policies it has adopted to boost domestic demand and economic development. It has called on customs administrations at all levels to offer better services and protection in an effort to help domestic businesses cope with the global financial crisis and get access to overseas markets. Answering the call, customs administrations have put in more efforts to make the policies known to the enterprises and provide more convenient IPR registration services, aiming at improving the companies’ IPR protecting ability; meanwhile, customs officers have adopted stricter control measures to stop the flow of infringing goods, better securing enterprises’ rights. In 2009, China Customs has detained 47.071 million goods that have infringed upon the IPR of Chinese enterprises, valuing RMB 40.923 million.
