At the same time, 100 elited from the IP industry will be invited to the lecture to be the audience, to exchange and share valuable ideas in the lecture.

Lecture I of the Justra Lectures will be held on December 13, 2017. The theme of the first lecture would be: “the Interpretation of the New Anti-Unfair Compeition Law.”

 

Since the enactment of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law in 1993, 24 years have elapsed before the first major revision to this law is completed. On November 4, 2017, at the 30^th session of the Standing Committee of the Twelfth National people's Congress (NPC), the newly amended the Anti-Unfair Competition Law was adopted, and the new law will come into effect on January 1, 2018. Together with the Trademark Law, which was enacted in 1982 and revised in the year of 1993, 2001 and 2013, and the General Principle of Civil Law of 1986, the General Principles of Civil Law of 2017, and the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property that China acceded to in 1982, and the TRIPs Agreement that China acceded to in 2001, the Anti-Unfair Competition Law will become the cornerstone of the legal protection for trade designations.

 

What are the background, general situation, key points and important problems to be solved in this revision? And what are the new rules in the new law? What are the major changes? Justra Lecture I will give you a detailed explanation.
