The procuratorial organ approved the arrest of more than 9,200 cases involving infringement, fake and shoddy crimes, and more than 16,000 people.

The State Council Office held a press conference on the 26th. In response to the question "What measures have China taken to combat infringement and counterfeiting", Gan Lin introduced the following aspects:
First, carry out rectification in key areas. In the field of the Internet, a series of special rectifications such as "Jian Wang" and "Tie Quan" were carried out to solve the key problems of high incidence of infringement and counterfeiting and strong reaction from the people. In rural areas, carry out special rectification of agricultural materials anti-counterfeiting, spot check of forest tree seedling quality, and promote the development of high-quality agriculture. In the import and export, strengthen supervision and inspection, carry out the "Dragon" action, and make good entry and exit countries. In key areas of people's livelihood, rectification of chaotic phenomena in the "health care" market and special rectification of geographical indications were carried out to protect the legitimate rights and interests of rights holders and consumers.
The second is to strengthen judicial protection. In 2019, public security organs cracked more than 16,000 cases of infringement, fake and shoddy crimes, and arrested more than 29,000 criminal suspects. The procuratorial organ approved the arrest of more than 9,200 cases involving infringement, fake and shoddy crimes, and more than 16,000 people. Courts across the country received more than 480,000 IPR cases of various types and concluded more than 470,000 cases.
The third is to innovate law enforcement supervision methods. According to the deployment arrangements of the State Council, we will promote the establishment of a new credit-based regulatory mechanism, and fully implement joint "double random and one open" supervision in the field of market supervision. The member units of the leading group have built an "Internet + customs" integrated platform, a national network transaction monitoring platform, and a unified electronic acceptance platform for geographical indication protection products, to promote smart supervision.
The fourth is to promote regional cooperation among departments. The member units of the leading group strengthened cooperation. Among them, 6 departments jointly carried out the treatment of counterfeit and shoddy food in rural areas of the country, and 13 departments jointly carried out a hundred-day action on the “health” market disorder. Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui signed the Memorandum of Cooperation in the Integration Construction of the Yangtze River Delta Market System, and 10 cities in the Huaihai Economic Zone established a market supervision and law enforcement coordination and cooperation mechanism.
Fifth, deepen international exchanges and cooperation. Bilateral exchanges have progressed steadily, and China and Europe have signed a joint statement on the conclusion of negotiations on the agreement on the protection and cooperation of geographical indications. New progress has been made in multilateral exchanges and cooperation between China, Japan, South Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia and the BRICS countries. Actively participated in special operations such as "Opson", "Pangu", "Nethawk" and "Health Goddess" carried out by international organizations, and achieved positive results.
Gan Lin said that the next step will focus on the following tasks: First, strengthen overall planning and coordination. The Office of the Leading Group promotes the strengthening of case investigations, supervision and supervision, and information submission, and promotes the orderly connection of administrative law enforcement, criminal law enforcement, judicial trials, and arbitration mediation, and forms a full-chain crackdown. The second is to carry out key governance. Focus on key industries, products and markets, increase efforts to investigate the source of counterfeiting, repeated infringements, and malicious infringements, promote information disclosure and joint disciplinary action, and pay a heavy price to offenders. The third is to build a pattern of co-governance. Protect the rights holders' right to know and participate, establish and improve the reporting and reward system, guide industry organizations to strengthen self-discipline, and create a new model of joint construction, co-governance and sharing to combat infringement and counterfeiting.
