Regulations on the Custom Protection of Intellectual Property Rights revised

On April 19, the press conference on the custom protection of IP was held. Meng Yang, Director of the Department of Policies and Regulations of General Administration of Customs pointed out that, according to the newly revised "Regulations on the Custom Protection of Intellectual Property Rights", individuals who take and mail the infringing products exceeding the reasonable amount of personal use will be punished along with confiscation since April 1 this year.
 
Moreover, to prevent infringing products entering into commercial channels, the newly revised Regulations require destroying the export products with fake trademarks and the goods with the infringing features which can not be removed.

Meng Yang introduced that the newly revised Regulations added the provision that permit rights holders to withdrawal the application of protection. As there were no provisions on how to withdraw the application of detaining infringing goods previously, the new revised regulations make specification in such aspect by considering that intellectual property right is a private right and right owners have the rights for the admission of the detain by the customs.
